There has never been a band like Pearl Jam. The Seattle quintet has
recorded eleven studio albums, sold some 85 million records, played
over a thousand shows, in fifty countries, and had five different
albums reach number one. But Pearl Jam's story is about much more
than music.Through resilience, integrity, and sheer force of will,
they transcended several eras, and shaped the way a whole
generation thought about music. Not for You: Pearl Jam and the
Present Tense is the first full-length biography of America's
preeminent band, from Ten to Gigaton. A study of their role in
history - from Operation Desert Storm to the Dixie Chicks,
",Jeremy", to Columbine, Kurt Cobain to Chris Cornell, Ticketmaster
to Trump - Not for You explores the band's origins and evolution
over thirty years of American culture.It starts with their
founding, and the eruption of grunge, in 1991, continues through
their golden age (Vs., Vitalogy, No Code, and Yield), their middle
period (Binaural, Riot Act), and the more divisive recent catalog.
Along the way, it considers the band's activism, idealism, and
impact, from ",W.M.A.", to the Battle of Seattle and Body of War.
More than the first critical study, Not for You is a tribute to a
famously obsessive fan base, in the spirit of Nick Hornby's Fever
Pitch.It's an old-fashioned - if, at times, ambivalent -
appreciation, a reflection on pleasure, fandom, and guilt, and an
essay on the nature of adolescence, nostalgia, and adulthood.
Partly social history, partly autobiography, and entirely
outspoken, discursive, and droll, Not for You is the first
full-length treatment of Pearl Jam's odyssey and importance in the
culture, from the '90s to the present.
