"Take this sinking boat and point it home / We've still got time..." — Glen Hansard

Before the Academy Awards and arena tours, the song existed as a quiet refuge of vulnerability. Hansard’s acoustic delivery turns the act of "sinking" into an intentional, dignified surrender.

True resonance does not depend on massive production. A voice and raw wood are enough to anchor a soul in the dark.

Tribute for Glen Hansard today in Dublin with people singing Falling Slowly.

26 years ago today, Pearl Jam debuted- thanks to Matt Cameron- this delightful jangly cover of The La's. Playing London, the Liverpool band's song was fitting. But our favorite version came that year in Saratoga! #tfh

1 year ago today, Pearl Jam played night 2 in Nashville. The show's clear highlight was when @peterframpton guested, elevating Mike, Ed and the entire @BrdgstoneArena crowd! #tfh

23 years ago today, Pearl Jam played the infamous Nassau Coliseum show. Instead of focusing on the "Bu$hleaguer" brouhaha, we remember its great main set- including perfect 'Riot Act' performances like "Get Right" and this. #tfh

The Philly shows from 10 years ago are about as memorable as Pearl Jam gets. Night 2 featured 'Ten' front-to-back with THAT "Release." And night 1 had rarities galore, including the last performance of this song. #tfh

Watching “Hunger Strike” live hits so much different now.. man I wish I could still go and see Chris Cornell live.

Man was truly one of one.

And hey Eddie isn’t too bad either.. 👀

This Thanksgiving, let's appreciate Eddie Vedder and The Who!

25 years ago today, EV guested on a couple of @TheWho tracks. Ed, Roger and Pete sound great together- but Ed steals the show!

Happy Thanksgiving all! #tfh

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

Independence Day is a reminder that America is not the project of any one person. The single most powerful word in our democracy is the word ‘We.’ ‘We The People.’ ‘We Shall Overcome.’ ‘Yes We Can.’ America is owned by no one. It belongs to all citizens. And at this moment in history—when core democratic principles seem to be continuously under attack, when too many people around the world have become cynical and disengaged—now is precisely the time to ask ourselves tough questions about how we can build our democracies and make them work in meaningful and practical ways for ordinary people.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

The President’s disastrous decision to bomb Iran without authorization is a grave violation of the Constitution and Congressional War Powers.

He has impulsively risked launching a war that may ensnare us for generations.

It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment.

Exactly what I’ve been saying!! Yall so scare to change you let the actual devil into office.

[The Grunge Scene @TheGrungeScene]

October 22, 1990 – The new band, temporarily dubbed Mookie Blaylock, later to be named Pearl Jam, played their very first show (Seattle, WA)

Chris Cornell was in attendance and said, "It was absolutely the best inaugural show I've ever seen in my life."
