Pearl Jam is a band that has a lot of history attached to it. The band was originally called Mookie Blaylock and was formed from some of the remaining members of Mother Love Bone, Mike McCready and front man Eddie Vedder. The band later changed their name to Pearl Jam which is an alliteration to Eddie’s Aunt Pearl’s one of a kind Jam. For those that don’t know, Mookie Blaylock is actually Daron Blaylock, the point guard for the New Jersey Nets back in 1989. Why someone would name their band after a basketball player, however, is beyond me. So the change to Pearl Jam was probably a good decision for the group.

earl Jam is an iconic rock band from Seattle, Washington that is more than just super guitar riffs and badass songs – the members are also very active in promoting political and environmental issues. When they’re not touring and selling over 60 million records around the world, they’re doing things like donating money to rainforest preservation initiatives and riding in biodiesel-fueled buses.
They’re also always trying to find new ways to fight climate change. That’s why ever since 2003 the band has partnered with various programs to offset the carbon emissions from its worldwide tours. This year the band has decided to partner with the Cascade Land Conservancy, Washington’s largest land conservation, stewardship and community building organization. The band chose the CLC because of its hometown ties and also because it wanted to restore native trees and ecosystems throughout the Puget Sound area in the state.
So, what exactly will this partnership entail? The band will be donating $210,000 to help fund the CLC urban forestry project. This money will be used to plant about 33 acres of native trees and plants in Pugent Sound, which will in turn mitigate more than 7,000 tons of carbon emissions! Now doesn’t that make you like Pearl Jam even more?

This week a group of musicians launched Close Gitmo Now, a movement with an eponymous objective. Why is a group of artists as diverse as Rage Against the Machine, REM, Billy Bragg, Roseanne Cash, Pearl Jam, Jackson Browne and Steve Earle getting involved in the debate over Guantanamo? Because of the use of popular music by military interrogators.
Several references to music as an interrogation tool appeared in a US senate report last year. Records were used to "stress" Mohamedou Ould Slahi during questioning in 2003, including repeated plays of a song by hard-rockers Drowning Pool. Other tracks that were reportedly played at high volume near prisoners include David Gray's Babylon, Metallica's Enter Sandman, Don McLean's American Pie, Queen's We Will Rock You, songs by REM, Pearl Jam, Nine Inch Nails, Bruce Springsteen, and even theme tunes from Sesame Street, Barney the Dinosaur and the Meow Mix commercials.
While the Meow Mix cats have yet to get involved, a wide range of other musicians have. Plenty of artists are plenty pissed about their music being a torture device. Ask Rage Against the Machine's Tom Morello:
“Guantanamo is known around the world as one of the places where human beings have been tortured – from water boarding, to stripping, hooding and forcing detainees into humiliating sexual acts - playing music for 72 hours in a row at volumes just below that to shatter the eardrums. Guantanamo may be Dick Cheney’s idea of America, but it’s not mine. The fact that music I helped create was used in crimes against humanity sickens me – we need to end torture and close Guantanamo now."
Vanguard's Adrian Baschuk took a trip down to Gitmo last year and even spent the night. What going on at the most controversial jail in the world?

A group of prominent musicians are joining a campaign to close Guantanamo Bay and demanding the release of records about what music was used during the potential torture of detainees there and at other facilities.
Some of the more famous names in the music industry are formally lending their prestige to an effort being led by retired generals, progressive groups and a former member of Congress to shut GITMO down. The list includes Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails, Tom Morello of Rage Against the Machine, R.E.M., Pearl Jam, Jackson Browne, Rise Against, Rosanne Cash, Billy Bragg and the Roots, all of whom are joining the broader National Campaign to Close Guantanamo which was launched earlier in the week.
Hoping to cast further light on the potential illegalities that took place at the detention facility, the group is also working to obtain records about why and how music was used (under laws authorized by the Bush administration) to effectively torture suspected terrorists. The musicians have officially endorsed a Freedom of Information Act request for the declassification of all secret government records pertaining to music utilized during interrogations. At least two members of the coalition, Reznor and Morello, have had their music linked to interrogations.
"Guantanamo is known around the world as one of the places where human beings have been tortured -- from water boarding, to stripping, hooding and forcing detainees into humiliating sexual acts -- playing music for 72 hours in a row at volumes just below that to shatter the eardrums," said Morello, in a statement provided by the NCCG. "Guantanamo may be Dick Cheney's idea of America, but it's not mine. The fact that music I helped create was used in crimes against humanity sickens me -- we need to end torture and close Guantanamo now."
The National Security Archives will be officially filing the FOIA request on behalf of the National Campaign to Close Guantanamo (NCCG)
