Hey, I love both STP and Pearl Jam, past and present, but I've never understood why people make them out to be the same. They both came from the Alternative Nation, but they both have moved on to completely different 'states' (to continue the metaphor). To call them "same" makes me think of people who AREN'T from the Northeast that basically group NJ and NY together, as if they're one and the same - they're not, they're totally different animals. That said, STP and PJ's current residencies are both places I like to visit... often.
