KQRC: Kansas City – Pearl Jam’s Mike McCready

Joined on the phone by Mike McCready from Pearl Jam. Seems like Pearl Jam are taken way too seriously. As if, because they came from the “grunge scene,” they have to be moribund. Not sure why this is the case. I’ve always found the band to be fairly outgoing and gregarious. A little-known fact; Mike is *really* into the band UFO! In fact, he has a cover band that plays a benefit for Colitis research every year. Not the first thing I’d have considered out of Pearl Jam. Proves my point a bit. We talk about that, and the “return” of Pearl Jam.
