We got a chance to go and play in some places that the usual European tour by an American band didn't go to.

I began both auditioning with Pearl Jam and recording for Eleven. In the fall of 1994, I joined Pearl Jam.

In January of 1995, my family and I moved to Seattle. Pearl Jam did the first of their live radio broadcasts, Monkey Wrench Radio, along with many other Seattle musicians.

I finished the recordings I had started with Eleven. Matt Cameron joined for the rest of those sessions.

I remember a tour where we played 50 cities in 56 days. We also went to Europe a couple of times.

I began hearing rumors of apossible recording session with Neil Young. I was a huge fan of Neil's.

After wrestling with myself for six months, I began medical treatment. During that time I started a band with some friends of mine called Jack's Car, but that didn't last.

I began the process of recording myself seriously in the fall of 1999. If I could finish an album of my own music, I would. Five years later I am happy to say I have.

"Yield" was completed in 1997 and released in 1998. In the spring of 1997, I had made a decision to stop taking medications that I had been taking daily since 1988.

For the spouse of someone in the service, you are your own provider, your own lover, you own best friend while that person's gone - the mother and father if you have kids.

This is a do-it-yourself test for paranoia: you know you've got it when you can't think of anything that's your fault.

If I profane with my unworthiest hand This holy shrine, the gentle fine is this: My lips, two blushing pilgrims, ready stand To smooth that rough touch with a tender kiss.

If a man wants to be an artist, he should never look at pictures.
