Our own Stip, author of "I Am No Guide: Pearl Jam Song-By-Song" is giving a presentation on the music and meaning of Pearl Jam in support of the Community College Humanities Association on May 1st, 3:30-5pm EST. You can register with the QR code here.
Pearl Jam helped define 'grunge' and 90s rock music, and their music offers reflection on how to nuture the solidarity that makes us human in a world that consistently undercuts it. This presentation explores the evolution of lyrical themes and politics around authenticity, intergenerational solidarity, democracy, environmentalism, and gender across a thirty year career that, at its core, centers the human need for connection.
