Deaf Indie Elephants

Finally I watched Vh1 Storytellers - Pearl Jam. wooot!!! (thanx aMule). It was nice, but I was expecting more about the stories of the songs, this time Eddie went to a political side (one more time), the best part is the story of the song ALIVE.

Eddie wrote this song when he found that his father wasn’t his real father, Alive was conceived as a cursed song which Ed wanted to say that he’s alive and has to deal with this true over his shoulders, but when this song was known it became an anthem of joy and celebration of life for the audience… in that moment the fans lifted the curse …..Pearl Jam rocks!!!

In the same line, I found Vh1 Storytellers - Tori Amos (thanx aMule), this one is excellent.. she’s so delightful, even though we know she’s from out of this world.

One of the best stories is from the song “Father Lucifer”… it goes something like this:

“my father said to me: Tori, I can’t believe you wrote this song about me. And I said: I write everything about you, what are you surprised about?. And he said: No, but I’m really hurt about this one. And I said: Well which one is it? And he said: Well, the one when you called me Satan. And I said: No, I was taking drugs with a south american shaman and I really did visit the Devil and I had a journey. And he said: Oh, Praise Jesus!!!

She’s so nice… if you can’t download the video, here’s the part from Youtube.

Slds,

Yiyo.
