Taika Waititi I’m in all my films, I can’t help it. I just jam myself in there if there’s a space. – Taika Waititi
Susan Tedeschi I really focused on rhythm guitar playing at first because it was important to know the song and chords first before taking a solo. A lot of people get up and jam, but they don’t know the song. It’s hard to say anything, emote anything, with that approach. – Susan Tedeschi
Susan Orlean I remember, when I was a kid, watching my mother jam herself into her girdle – a piece of equipment so rigid it could stand up on its own – and I remember her coming home from fancy parties and racing upstairs to extricate herself from its cruel iron grip. – Susan Orlean
Summer Sanders Growing up, I was a little hippie kid. I went to some good concerts… Amnesty International with Bob Dylan and Tracy Chapman… The best concert I ever went to was this one at the Cow Palace my freshman year in college on New Year’s Eve. It was Pearl Jam opening for Nirvana opening for Red Hot Chili Peppers. – Summer Sanders
Sue Bird A lot of my friends loved Pearl Jam, so whenever I’d hang out with them, that was usually what CD – not album – back then, it was what CD, maybe even tape, but what CD was playing. – Sue Bird
Sturgill Simpson I knew I loved playing bluegrass, so I’d end up down there on Sunday nights at the bluegrass jam. – Sturgill Simpson
Stone Gossard It’s a very complex scenario, and certainly Dave was, and is, not the only person in Pearl Jam with personality flaws. Everybody in this band exhibits some form of neurotic behavior. And we couldn’t find a balance, a mutual respect for each other. – Stone Gossard
Stone Gossard We may take breaks and do other things, but we feel we’ll ultimately have Pearl Jam as a family. – Stone Gossard
Steven Van Zandt Half of the modern world goes back as far as Pearl Jam. The real historians go back to U2. But they need to go back further. They have to go back to the ’50s and ’60s, where things started. That’s how you get to be your own personality, by studying the masters. Rock and roll was white kids trying to make black music and failing, gloriously! – Steven Van Zandt
Stephanie Ruhle There’s only one thing I love more than race day: the morning after! The morning after the Marathon, New York catches running fever. The Hudson River bike path on Manhattan’s west side was like a traffic jam of joggers on Monday morning. No doubt the great race fires up the endurance athlete in all of us – and it’s beautiful. – Stephanie Ruhle
