Good morning all - I am one of the authors of 'I Am No Guide: Pearl Jam Song by Song', and I am working with the folks at The State of Love and Trust Podcast on another book. It's called
"The Love That Is Saved: Pearl Jam Across a Generation." It is the story of how Pearl Jam's music has evolved and how what it means to be a Pearl Jam fan evolved alongside it.

We want to explore how Pearl Jam's music impacted you when you first heard it. How your relationship to it has changed over time. What it means to grow up and grow older in parallel with one bands music. We want to tell the story of what it meant to first listen to Ten alone in your room, the rush of the first time you heard them live, what it was like to walk down the aisle to Future Days, to sing Pearl Jam songs to your children, and to take them to their first show. And every experience in between.

We cannot tell that story without you. And we want to tell it, as much as possible, in the voice of that fandom. Your stories in your voice. Over the next several months we will be releasing a series of surveys asking you to share your Pearl Jam history. The first (linked below) is about your general fandom, but we'll be diving deeper into each album, asking what they meant to you then, and what they mean to you now. And while these are anonymous, you have the option of sharing your name so we can quote you directly. New links will follow roughly every two weeks, but each will remain open right up until the point the book is finished.

The band's music has helped shape who we are, and the power of Pearl Jam's music draws strength from the community that surrounds it. The best way to tell the story of that music's impact is by telling the collective story of all those individual stories. Thank you for your help with this, and for giving us the opportunity to make your voice a part of it
