Pearl Jam - Dissident, 1993 "In 'Dissident,' I'm actually talking about a woman who takes in someone who's being sought after by the authorities for political reasons. He's on the run, and she offers him a refuge. But she just can't handle the responsibility. She turns him in, then she has to live with the guilt and the realization that she's betrayed the one thing that gave her life meaning. It made her life difficult. It made her life hell, but it gave her a reason to be. But she couldn't hold on. She folded. That's the tragedy of the song." - Eddie Vedder

"The first time I picked up a guitar was when I was in sixth grade. My mother was dating this guy and brought him home. He played guitar, my mother played organ and I remember them jamming. So I’m just checking this out and the guy hands me the guitar to show me a couple of chords. In a few minutes I had them together and I could play two or three. I don’t remember his name but I remember that moment because I picked it up pretty quick and actually pulled it off" - Jerry Cantrell
