Hi Branden, I just listened to your episode with Ryan Bauer on going over "No Way." When I was looking to sign up for a track off of Yield, "No Way" was actually my first choice.  I was pretty surprised to see it wasn't available when I gave my top 3.  To be honest, I'm really glad Ryan came on for this episode.  He seems to have had a great appreciation for this song since it came out in 1998.  What really caught my attention was comparing the message of the song to be in-line with the war with Ticketmaster.  The band, and namely Stone, took on "the man" and unfortunately weren't able to make a difference.  I'm not sure if this was accurate, but I believe that period of Pearl Jam was highly contentious and I am sure taking on Ticketmaster added onto the stress.  It's as if Stone wrote this song to say, I'm going to just focus on what I love most and that's making music.  The line "Let's call in an angel," does ha
