As the song writer, lead singer, guitarist, and heart and soul of the immensely talented and powerful nineties alternative grunge rock band, Pearl Jam, you have been a boisterous critic of those who shamelessly extort from others, including the environment. You passionately call out to your audience to fight against the oppression and protect the weak and defenseless. Pearl Jam's first album, titled ten , reveals your passion. In the song "Garden," you write:

the DIRECTION of the EYE
so MISLEADING
the DEFECTION of the SOUL
NAUSEOUSLY QUICK I don't QUESTION
our EXISTENCE
I just QUESTION
our MODERN NEEDS
