What the hell was I thinking. :headshake :headshake Pearl Jam is the first thing that comes to mind whenever I hear the name Mookie Blaylock, as opposed to his superior basketball skills. I actually used to be a huge Pearl Jam fan (mostly of their non-commercial stuff, Eddie is a very soulful mang), but I rarely ever listen to them nowadays. I read like three of their books back in the day, so I know that Mookie heard about then using his name & objected to it being used, so they dropped it. They are some huge Seattle Supersonics fans (huge basketball fans in general). Alice In Chains is good stuff, especially the MTV Unplugged material from 1993. I don't think I've listened to it in about 10 years, though.

Now that you're 10 year removed, you might dig a lot of the stuff found on "Jar of Flies" and if you are feeling really bold, "Dirt". This is one of those rare occasions I actually endorse a greatest hits album. The 2001 greatest hits album can be had for like $10 and I bet you'd dig it, especially if you were a Pearl Jam guy. Just make sure you are in a good mood before you take on "Dirt," that'll get ya down in a hurry.

March 31, 200521 yr QUOTE(WilliamTell @ Mar 30, 2005 -> 07:44 PM) I've always liked the name Mookie Blaylock. Those were some fun OU teams... Rickey Grace, Mookie Blalock, Stacey King etc.
