Glorified G

Glorified G by Pearl Jam

Of all the songs to get me hooked on the alternative movement... it was Glorified G. I can't tell you why it was this song—I was 12 years old after all. But Tim played it for me and I fell for it. I loved it. I couldn't get enough of the song. It's got a nice rift and the bridge is pretty good. But why this over Rearviewmirror or Daughter? I'll never know.

I liked the song so much that I went out and bought the album. But first I asked my mom. The conversation took place in the kitchen and went like this:
Me: Mom, I like this band and want to buy their CD.

Mom: Okay, you have to spend your own money you know.

Me: That's fine. But one of the songs is about guns.

Mom: Guns? What kind?

Me: A pelt gun, so it's not that bad right?

Mom: Songs about pelt guns are fine.

I then went out and bought the album.
