The Commercial Break
Even Flow, Alive & Black Friday!

It would be B. You're correct.

Mookie Blaylock.

The Commercial Break

So Pearl Jam was actually named the Mookie Blaylock Band.

The Commercial Break
Even Flow, Alive & Black Friday!

That was their original name.

The Commercial Break

But because Mookie Blaylock did not know who the fuck Pearl Jam would become, he did not care for them using his name.

And they got a copyright infringement.

The Commercial Break

They got a cease and desist from the attorneys for Mookie Blaylock, who was a Hawks player, an Atlanta Hawks player.

The Commercial Break
Even Flow, Alive & Black Friday!

That's right.

The Commercial Break

That's what I thought.

And so Jeff Ament, who's the bassist, was a huge NBA fan.

And if you look anytime behind Pearl Jam, behind Jeff on his bass stack, the speakers behind him, you will see that he has these little bobbleheads, these NBA bobbleheads that he'll switch out.

But Mookie is always there.

The Commercial Break

So there's always a mad respect for Mookie Blaylock.

And if you are a true Pearl Jam like aficionado and collector, you can find a poster with the Mookie Blaylock band named on it from like the first six months of them in existence.

The Commercial Break
Even Flow, Alive & Black Friday!

But not much else because, of course, they got the cease and desist.

The Commercial Break
Even Flow, Alive & Black Friday!

So they don't put out merch like that anymore.

The Commercial Break
Even Flow, Alive & Black Friday!

I think they had to.

The Commercial Break
Even Flow, Alive & Black Friday!

I think they did, yes.
