Curiosidad de Dave Abbruzzese

Curiosity about Dave Abbruzzese

En preparación para el lanzamiento de la próxima semana de la Edición de tapa blanda de Everybody Loves Our Town: An Oral History of Grunge (13 de marzo;  infoaquí), estoy compartiendo algunos descartes del libro para mis lectores del blog. Para evitar confusiones, extirpo el siguiente relato del ex baterista de Pearl Jam, Dave Abbruzzese, que implica a una mujer molesta por el super éxito de PJ “Jeremy”. Dave me dijo en el rodaje que la mujer dijo que ella había sido testigo de lo que se produjo – a mediados – de los 80s en Richardson, Texas

DAVE ABBRUZZESE (baterista de Pearl Jam) en 1999, salí y giré con Harry Apes BMX. Cuando tocamos en Dallas, esta chica se acercó a mí después del espectáculo y dijo, “Necesito hablar contigo”, ella parecía angustia. Nos sentamos en la mesa, y empezó a soltar mierda de mi — me dio un tortazo en toda la cara. Dijo, “¿Cómo te atreves?

Ella estaba llorando y me enteré de que ella era la novia de Jeremy, el niño real. Ella estaba en el aula cuando ocurrió. Me dijo que fue muy duro para su familia, sus  amigos y para ella,  intentaron lidiar con el dolor y entonces, de repente,  la canción es la nº 1 como canción y vídeo. Ella expresó básicamente todos esos años de sufrimiento ante mi. Representé a la banda

IN ENGLISH

In the lead-up to next week’s release of the trade paperback edition of Everybody Loves Our Town: An Oral History of Grunge (out March 13; order info here), I’ve been sharing some of the book’s better outtakes for my faithful blog readers. In order to avoid confusion, I excised the following story from ex-Pearl Jam drummer Dave Abbruzzese, which involves a woman upset by PJ’s classroom-shooting mega-hit “Jeremy.” Dave told me the shooting the woman said she’d witnessed occurred in the early- to mid-’80s in Richardson, Texas (he recalled hearing about the incident back when he was going to school in nearby Mesquite). That doesn’t sync up with what Eddie Vedder has said were the two incidents(the primary one in Richardson, but in 1991) that inspired “Jeremy.” In retrospect, I think I should have kept the story in the book, as it’s a good one:

DAVE ABBRUZZESE (Pearl Jam drummer) Around 1999, I went out and toured with the Harry Apes BMX. When we played in Dallas, this girl came up to me after the show and said, “I need to speak to you,” and she seemed distressed. We sat down at the table, and she just smacked the shit out of me—just whack, across the side of the face. She said, “How dare you?”

She was crying, and I come to find out that she was the girlfriend of Jeremy, the real kid. She was in the classroom when it happened. She told me that his family and friends and her, they tried so hard to deal with the grief and then, just as they’re moving on with their lives, it’s the No. 1 song and video. She basically expressed all those years of distress from having to replay this memory over and over. So I took one for the band.
