@FixFalcon I don't approve of some of the stuff that Islam teaches but not all Muslims are terrorists. That's like saying all Americans love American Idol and eat at McDonalds 2.5 times a week. Like many forms of Christianity, people have twisted up Islam into a self serving religion that only works to alienate and harm anyone who don't follow what the "devote" say to do.
cool. can you make videos with all the lyrics for all the pearl jam songs? i really dont like listening to the song to hear the lyrics myself. that would be gay or something.
Dont remember this tune being played much on the radio back in the day.....It should have and it still should be to this day cause the music today fuckin sucks!
Even though Vedder confirmed that this song was about the record labels or whatever, I always interpreted this song as being for Kurt Cobain. It came out about 8 or 9 months after his death. Also, "If you hate something, don't you do it too" sound familiar?
"These attitudes out there...that it's the industry's music... And it's not. It's mine. And it's yours. Whoever's listening to it. It's mine and it's yours. And everybody in between, they're the distributors. I think that something like a music channel can be very powerful. Sometimes they think they're the ones who decide what's heard. I think that's a dangerous situation. And, I think, what's more dangerous is that they think it belongs to them. That's probably what "Not for You" is about."
This song is the absolute epitome of teenage angst. Not Nirvana, not Alice in Chains, and nothing on Ten.This song is a middle finger to everyone who thinks kids are just products and ID numbers.
This song is so underrated, one of the best rock songs ever. This kicks ass on so many levels and if you don't see that then it's not for you, for you, this is not for you!
Fucking amazing track!
