Lollapalooza 1992 was the festival many of us would choose as the place to land if we were to turn the clock around. Dreamy lineup - Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, RHCP…
Summer, freedom, great atmosphere… On YouTube, I found a clip from the side stage during Pearl Jam's set, and it's sick!!!
Dave Abbruzzese on drums is killing it! And Stone smashing the guitar at the end! Stone?!🤯
It was such a great festival!

Everyone assumes Soundgarden took their name straight from the wind sculpture near Magnuson Park. I did too, for a long time.
Turns out that’s not quite the story. In a 1989 interview, Kim Thayil said it directly: they weren’t named after that sculpture, they just liked the name. Chris Cornell explained it a different way — sound and garden started as two separate words he combined into something new.
The sculpture is real, though. Twelve steel towers, wind pulling sound out of them, standing on NOAA land by Lake Washington. And when Chris passed in 2017, fans went there anyway. Left flowers at the base of those towers, whether or not that’s technically where the name came from.
You can’t really visit it anymore. It sits on federal property, not the open part of the park, and it’s been closed for years now with no reopening date in sight. So for most of us, this story is the closest we get.
I loved digging into this one. Starting a new series here — band names, album titles, the small true stories behind them. Soundgarden felt like the right place to start.

In 1994, Scott Weiland told David Ritz that Stone Temple Pilots’ Purple “sounds purple.” Pushed for more, he said it was a stupid question — about as much explaining as he ever did.
A decade later, the two of them sat down at Weiland’s cabin on Lake Chelan to start his memoir, Not Dead & Not for Sale.
What stayed with me is how he chose to end it — wanting to leave a footprint of someone who cared about expressing his heart and soul. Not the headlines. Just that.

“Crazy Mary” started as Victoria Williams’ own story, written for a woman she imagined from fragments of memory. Pearl Jam recorded it in 1993 for Sweet Relief, a benefit album made for Victoria’s medical bills after her MS diagnosis.
Now it’s the moment in the show — Boom’s solo, Ed passing a bottle down the line, the whole crowd in it together.
Some songs just keep finding new ways to be shared. 🖤

In November 2000, the surviving members of The Doors — Ray Manzarek, Robby Krieger, and John Densmore — shared the songs they’d never let anyone else touch since Jim Morrison’s death. For a one-night VH1 Storytellers special, six guest singers each took on a couple of tracks. Scott Weiland got “Break On Through” and “Five to One,” timed with the Doors tribute album where Stone Temple Pilots had just recorded “Break On Through” as the lead track.
Nobody on that stage tried to be Jim. They just tried to do the songs justice — and Weiland carried it like someone who’d studied every word. It turned out to be the last time the three surviving Doors ever played together live.

Kevin Staab’s Sims deck was my first pro board back in the 80s as a kid. In the 90s, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam and Alice in  Chains shaped my musical Outlook and 90s brand was instrumental.



Now in 2025 and hitting 50 I’m still rocking out with the gear over in Scotland.
