In 2000, I was the Road Manager for David Crosby on the CSNY reunion tour. One of the stops was in Austin and the band was put in the women’s locker room. I grew up in Moscow, Idaho, and went to school with a girl named Andrea Lloyd. She was the female athlete of the year in North Idaho in 1981, 82 & 83. She was all-everything in basketball and volleyball. Andrea received a scholarship from the University of Texas and led them to an undefeated season and national championship in 1986. She then went on to win gold medals in the Pan American Games and the 1988 Olympics. Following that she played professionally in Italy for 11 years and played a few seasons in the WNBA for the Minnesota Lynx. Getting back to the locker room in 2000, I saw something honoring Andrea and told everyone how I went to school with her. The women had these stools at their lockers, so in my own warped tribute to Andrea, I had to liberate one in her honor. Later in the year, Pearl Jam was preparing to tour. Mike McCready started using the stool in rehearsals, as there were no arms and it was much easier for him to play the guitar sitting down on this stool, rather than a folding chair. Cut to a few years later, when PJ would play some acoustic songs in their set - Ed wanted a stool but he didn't want wheels on it (like the one Jeff uses). So he borrowed the stool Mike used, and it has been used by Ed on Pearl Jam and his solo tours ever since. When he held it up for the crowd in Austin on these last few shows of the 2023 tour, it came full circle. It brought back all the memories of Andrea and her amazing career, and the fact that it has been a staple of Ed’s stage gear for the last 20+ years. So thank you University of Texas Women’s Basketball and UT, for the stool and a wonderful piece of PJ and my personal history!"」11月7日 12時30分
