Poem #1


PREFACE

This poem was written a long time ago for the Pearl Jam fan club message board before message boards and websites became insanely popular.  It was true then and it is true now.  It was never published until 2012.

CLARIFICATION 

My favorite Nirvana CD is Unplugged. Alternative radio stations across the USA killed Nirvana. It saddens me that his gift was ruined by the people he made it for. I'm guilty. Your guilty. However, Nirvana Unplugged was a transcending concert, CD and TV event. 

Pearl Jam seized the moment.  They are not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame yet, but I'm sure they'll be in Cleveland one day.  

This poem is called.....

A POEM FOR THE BOARD

Kurt Cobain is dead
Eddie Vedder is alive
Nirvana still lives
Pearl Jam still breathes

Cobain wanted to die
Vedder wanted to live
Cobain never thought
Vedder always thinks

Nirvana were the Royal Kings
Pearl Jam were the Charming Prince
Nirvana was overplayed
Pearl Jam was underplayed

Nevermind was one of the best
Ten was one of the greatest
Nirvana is like The Doors
Pearl Jam is like The Who

What did you think #jewfrollowers? Did you get it? It's a poem....
