There has never been a band like Pearl Jam. The Seattle quintet has recorded 11 studio albums; sold some 85 million records; played more than a thousand shows, in 50 countries; and had five different albums reach number one. But Pearl Jam's story is about much more than music.
A study of their role in history - from Operation Desert Storm to the Dixie Chicks; "Jeremy" to Columbine; Kurt Cobain to Chris Cornell; Ticketmaster to Trump - Not for You explores the band's origins and evolution over 30 years of American culture. It starts with their founding, and the eruption of grunge, in 1991; continues through their golden age (Vs., Vitalogy, No Code, and Yield); their middle period (Binaural, Riot Act); and the more divisive recent catalog. Along the way, it considers the band's activism, idealism, and impact, from "W.M.A." to the Battle of Seattle and Body of War.
More than the first critical study, Not for You is a tribute to a famously obsessive fan base, in the spirit of Nick Hornby's Fever Pitch. Partly social history, partly autobiography, and entirely outspoken, discursive, and droll, Not for You is the first full-length treatment of Pearl Jam's odyssey and importance in the culture, from the '90s to the present.

If you’re not a PJ fan, or even just a casual fan, you will become very angry and perhaps a bit annoyed at the excruciating detail this book dives into. This book is most certainly not for you.
But it is for the super fan.
The author interjects his own opinion of various songs, albums, and other bands, which I found to be entertaining and awesome, even though I disagreed with him on some things. His opinions were totally unnecessary, but their inclusion showed he’s a Pearl Jam super fan who truly doesn’t give a f&&$@ what you think, and that’s exactly who I want writing a book like this.
To my knowledge, this is the BEST band biography ever written by a super fan. If that’s not the case, sue me. I’d much prefer reading a book by a guy like this than reading some dry, boring, professorial dirge about PJ, written by some nonfiction superstar.
Catnip for the true PJ super fans
