"... I want to fight to get it back again". (The Fixer / Backspacer / Pearl Jam / Rel 2009)
Rock & Roll, my brothers & sisters! It's indeed a contact sport, even into your '40's.
I've really been grocking on the new-ish Pearl Jam record. It clocks in at a paltry 33:36, and is (for the most part anyway) chock-full of optimism & hope. As an added bonus, the below video for "The Fixer" was directed by the great Cameron Crowe.
"When something's low, I want to put a bit of high on it
When something's lost, I want to fight to get it back again
When signals cross, I want to put a bit of straight on it
If there's no love, I want to try and love again".
The prototypical angry young men have become middle aged fathers and gloriously squeezed out a joyful, happy record... and I think that's all right.
