I don't much like things to go by somebody's name, like the 'Bob Jones Group Jam Band.'

The Jam went through a phase of wearing satin jackets. But that was pre-getting signed and making it, when we were still playing the pubs and clubs - around '75. Shocking, really - what would you call them apart from 'horrible?' We'd wear these white zip-up bomber jackets with black kind of loon pants and black and white shoes.

Growing up, I was a little hippie kid. I went to some good concerts... Amnesty International with Bob Dylan and Tracy Chapman...

I have four chickens. I have four laying hens. And I have 50 fruit trees. I make apricot and plum jam every summer. I brought Memphis to Malibu.

I would love to go and live in the mountains... and make jam.

Well, here's what I think. I mean, the people are saying, 'We don't want it,' and the Democrats are saying, 'We don't care. We're going to pass it anyway.' And so for the next three months, Washington will be consumed with the Democrats trying to jam this through in a very messy procedure an unpopular health care bill.

We would play, then they would play a set, then we would jam on the last song.

There was so much great music around in the 60s, stuff like The Small Faces, but I also love The Jam.

The genomics revolution, proteomics, metabolomics, all of these 'omics' that sound so terrific on grants and on business plans. What we're doing is we are seizing control of our evolutionary future. I mean we're essentially using technology to just jam evolution into fast-forward.

The labels are in a jam. For a company to do well in music now, it's got to be in all aspects of the business. And Live Nation is the risk-taker. It's leading the charge.

My breakdancing crew used to go to the mall and squat a piece of cardboard there; we had our jam box, and I'd spin on my head and make about forty bucks a day, which was pretty good back then. I was only 14 years old, so I would chase the girls around the mall and eat some pizza and have some change left over.

I'd heard a lot of Motown and Stax when I was a kid, but the more well-known end of it. On Jam tours, we had a DJ called Ady Croasdell who ran a '60s club. He turned me on to underground stuff and what people call northern soul. It just blew my mind.

The only thing that really annoys me is when all of a sudden you hear yourself on the radio advertising Smith's tyre shop or Blenkinsop's jam. They simply can't do that. And in Australia, occasionally I have to take action.

Rock will never be dead for me. Do I like a lot of what I hear on rock music radio? No, not for the most part.

Every once in a while something happens and you like it.

Jam! I love my jam. I've just had a batch of it come through, I've been making it.

It's a very complex scenario, and certainly Dave was, and is, not the only person in Pearl Jam with personality flaws. Everybody in this band exhibits some form of neurotic behavior. And we couldn't find a balance, a mutual respect for each other.

America to me is so varied and exciting. I always feel nostalgia for the place I'm not in, and then I get there and find myself in a traffic jam going into the Lincoln Tunnel, and I think, 'God, why was I romanticizing this part of the country?' I think it has to do with the romantic, unrealistic temperament.

The Jam were a good band, however I feel that the Style Council were better. A lot of people I know will disagree with me. Some things we did with The Style Council were misinterpreted or over their heads.

My days are jam-packed with carpools, classroom assistance, tending to chickens, dogs and seven acres of olive trees!

We never intend to lose our jobs, break up with our live-in loves, or face any number of the curveballs life throws our way. But they happen all the same, so have a bailout plan just in case.

Any conversations we hear about 'So who are Pearl Jam marketing to?' are despicable.

When I was in high school, there were these British blues-rock-type bands with really good guitar players that would jam on one song for half an hour. And as much as I was amazed by some of those guitar players, seeing them prompted me to make a note that that's not something I could do.

I remember back in 1994 when the Eagles charged more than $100 for tickets. They said, 'We ain't Pearl Jam.' That's back when records were selling and the Eagles had sold just about as many as anyone on the planet. And years later we're still charging less than them.

Groff kept making good pitches to get out of jams, and we made some good defensive plays to help her out. She's the kind of a pitcher who can get herself out of a jam with one pitch because she gets so many ground balls, and we're going to turn two when you hit one at somebody.

Pattern modeling is very useful and a major step, but users don't always conform to those patterns. For example, when there is a specific event like a traffic jam or a big rugby game there is a big spike in mobile phone calls in a concentrated area. Traditional network design can't cope with those changes in network usage very well.

I was able to get out of a big jam in the top of the fifth inning, and Kristian was able to get a big-time hit in the bottom of the fifth. Without that hit, we're still playing.

Just as you do with the jam bands, the only way you can get turned on to this music is to seek it out. It's not on the radio. You have to seek it out and go see it live to experience. . . . Ozzfest fans are extremely plugged into the scene and dedicated to it.

Jeremy came in there at the end and threw pretty well in my book. He got in a little jam at the end, but got out of it. We didn't have a couple good defensive plays behind him that led to getting a couple base runners on. All-in-all I was pleased with both of them.

I'm so touched. I had an awesome jam session in a classroom today.

Just because the plane's moving around doesn't change the fact that (the signal) is broadcast on a frequency. ... The Cubans figure out what frequency it's on; they jam it.

I think he is great for our game. He has some jam to his game to add to his talent and the dynamic player he is he's the total package. He can be a one-on-one player, but he can also make a play and make another player look good. With that talent and that type of jam, he has the full package.

It doesn't take much to jam this area up and, to us, it just doesn't make sense when there are so many other areas in the county where this could be held at that wouldn't affect a single family residential area.

It falls where it is. We've been accepted by gospel markets and jam band markets and different places that we never really tried to get.

But we'll take every one of 'em.

It felt like the jam started in New Mexico. Even if the jam was only three miles, it feels like forever if you're going zero mph.

We have the avant-garde, the old jazz legends, the older musicians and younger musicians and we're known for our high-energy jam session.

We had a little jam session, and it didn't take long to realize we both like the music of John Denver. I ran into Brad again in Cheyenne over Labor Day. They have a thing at the festival where you sing a 30-minute set for your supper at a local restaurant. We just happened to be scheduled back-to-back with Brad, and he invited us on stage to do a couple of Denver songs. The next day we rehearsed a 45-minute set and performed it on stage.
