Jimmy Fallon Does Pearl Jam “Jeremy Lin” Parody

Jeremy Lin’s game has spoken so loudly that comic Jimmy Fallon performed a Pearl Jam parody to honor the Knicks point guard.

With a scraggly wig on his head, Fallon sang a tribute to the Harvard grad to the tune of the band's 1992 hit "Jeremy."




"At home, shooting free throws and three point shots, waiting for a job/name not yet a pun/Carmelo injury," he croons. "Came out of nowhere like an Asian Tebow."

Lin isn't the first athlete that Fallon's immortalized in recent months. In January, he donned a 1970s getup and sang a song about Tim Tebow to the tune of David Bowie's "Space Oddity".

"Singles" 19th Anniversary

 This the season for all these anniversaries, right? Singles is 19 years old today. After a long delay, the film was finally released theatrically on September 18, 1992. It’s a pretty good time to reflect back with the release of Pearl Jam Twenty this week.





 The movie directed by Cameron Crowe is a romantic comedy movie about six of Seattle's young people, most of whom live in the same apartment building and whose lives revolve around the city's ever-expanding music scene. The inter-related stories about each character's progress through the singles scene are intriguing and often very funny.

The Plot

 Janet Livermore (Bridget Fonda) works as a waitress in Seattle fawning over an aspiring musician, Cliff Poncier (Matt Dillon). She’s 23 and she wants to go to school for architecture one of these days. And she loves grunge music and the guys who make it. Janet is one of the characters in Cameron Crowe’s 1992 ode to mid-twenties malaise, centered around the strain of modern dating: Singles.The central story focuses on Steve Dunne (Campbell Scott) and Linda Powell (Kyra Sedgwick) who, after meeting at an Alice in Chains concert, fall in love and deal with the highs and lows of being in a relationship and dealing with the commitment that entails. This movie is basically like Friends before Friends was Friends.

The Music

 The film itself showcased not only the cream of the crop when it came to the grunge music the bands were producing, but also showed off their acting skills as they played characters and had cameos in the movie with bands such as Pearl Jam, Soundgarden and Alice in Chains all making an appearance. Chris Cornell also took up the role of writing the songs for Cliff's band Citizen Dick, again showcasing the talent that was emerging in the 90s.

Testament to the popularity of the genre of music used, the Singles soundtrack became a bestseller three months before the movie opened. The only band noticeably lacking was Nirvana, whose anthem Smell's Like Teen Spirit had to be taken off the soundtrack as their success meant the song had become far too expensive to use. On a side note, apparently Kurt Cobain hated the movie, so it was probably best his song was omitted.

 Recently, Cameron Crowe are set rumours on to put out a new Singles Blu-ray with lots of cool audio and video extras, but the work on that continues.

[REVIEW] Pearl Jam Twenty Festival in Alpine Valley

 The rolling pastures of Wisconsin played home to over 30,000 Pearl Jam superfans over Labor Day weekend, where those devoted enough to fly to the middle of nowhere for their favorite band were witness to a historical, unforgettable set of performances from Queens of the Stone Age, The Strokes, Mudhoney, Liam Finn, Glen Hansard and many more – including an extremely rare onstage reunion of Temple of the Dog.

Chris Cornell reunited "Temple Of The Dog"

 While the first night's set leaned heavily on rarities, the Seattle veterans threw Sunday's packed crowd into a frenzy by hitting hard with favorites from the early days -- "Alive," "Even Flow," "Jeremy" and "Black" (all from 1991's "Ten"), 1993's "Daughter" with a special tag of Dead Moon's "It's Ok," -- to post-millennial gems. 2009's "The Fixer" was a crowd riler, and 2002's "Love Boat Captain," a song written after PJ's own concert-death tragedy in 2000, was played "with love and support" for the bands and families affected by the recent stage collapses in Indiana and at Belgium's Pukkelpop festival.

But the guests spots throughout the three-encore night made it special as well. When else might you catch Chris Cornell turning Pearl Jam into Temple of the Dog and rocking "Reach Down" with a backup choir of Eddie Vedder, Glen Hansard, Dhani Harrison, David Garza and Liam Finn? And collaboration had already been afoot earlier as not only did Pearl Jam drummer Matt Cameron, bassist Jeff Ament and guitarist Mike McCready play during Joseph Arthur's set and Queens of the Stone Age's Josh Homme sat in for The Strokes' "New York City Cops," Eddie Vedder dueted during the sets of Liam Finn (singing AND drumming), John Doe (for a sweet version of Doe's "Golden State"),  Glen Hansard ("Falling Slowly") and the Strokes ("Juicebox") in the bright cool sunshine of summer's unofficial last weekend.

Julian Casablancas and Eddie Vedder

Marking 20 years of Pearl Jam, "doesn't make us feel old," frontman Eddie Vedder announced halfway through the night. "It feels like a rebirth, a new beginning." And to prove it, he performed a song he'd somehow written in the mere 14 hours between leaving the stage Saturday and showing up Sunday. The emotional, as-yet-untitled acoustic ballad, seemed to capture Pearl Jam's two decades of hard-earned vitality with lyrics that included, "to be so in love with life as we are now / never thought we could / so glad we made it 'til when it all got good."
