All Filler, No Killer

Blogheads Unite!

Here's some complete and total filler for your Monday morning:

A Facebook music quiz!

You know these things. They fill your mini-feed. You're tagged in their notes. And you pretend you're cooler than them while reading every single one and stopping short of filling one out, but definitely part in your head.

So, I saw one that I thought was a good premise and took it as a challenge:

Using song titles from only one artist, answer the following questions.

My Artist:
Pearl Jam.

My Reason:
How about four reasons?
1) They're probably my favorite band. They're definitely the band that has meant the most to me. So, they're my first thought for questions like this.
2) They have an enormous catalog. So, many titles to choose from.
3) They're still a challenge. Given their one-word titles and lyrical abstraction, answering a question completely and literally won't be easy. For example, picking Dylan would be fun, but it would also be easy. Dylan's got a title for everything. "What did you have for lunch today?" Then you find a bootleg from his Buddhist phase in the mid 80's called "Ham Sandwich with the Devil, and a Side Order of You" and your work's done.
4) I wanted to know, once and for all, if there is any literal sense to be made out of "Yellow Ledbetter."
