They just opened his casket (as they were moving it due to popularity and th ecloseness to the road) and found it to be empty save for a few coffin nails.....the mystery continues of The Letherman.....not the best song by the way.
Well I find the story of Leatherman really interesting, and I love Pearl Jam but the lyrics to this song are actually terrible. And so are the vocals.... other than that the music is ok.
Crazy Mary is a great tune, they played it here (Ireland) on their last tour. It was a real blast from the past — Take a bottle pass it 'round — magic! ;)
Another song, songs actually, that you should check out are Girl, and then Brother (lyrics version). They're both Ten outtakes, and both great songs, you'd probably get a kick out of them.
You can find this on the touring band DVD. Also, it's on the "given to fly" single that was released. It's one of the few songs of pearl jam's that I don't have because I can't find the song anywhere to buy or download.

Search "Leave the Leatherman Alone" dot com. Lots of information about who he was and the current plans to dig up his body in the name of research

Isn't it: "wasn't known to say much" not: "wasn't known to stay much"? Otherwise great song.

@Ilovewashers On a live version I heard, it sounds like "wasnt known to shave much"!

Well, brother is now with lyrics on the reissue, and alone was on lost dogs. But I do agree, all great songs.
