October 22, 1990 the band Mookie Blaylock, named after an NBA point guard, played their first official show at the Off Ramp Cafe in Seattle. The band was later renamed Pearl Jam. Jeff Ament Bassist was a huge Mookie fan having watched him play basketball at Oklahoma, and thought his name was superunique. Mookie was cool about it too and didn't sue.

Pearl Jam's Ten was named after Mookie Blaylock's jersey number.

Get the Mookie Blaylockmug.

Mookie Island

a mole: marijuana + tobacco (if you know what's good, american spirit)

after adding american spirit to a batch of herb, you take a fat shnap. once/if/when the mole is inhaled, the lucky smoker begins the journey, fuhl it. so you've inhaled the smoke, you're feeling that overwhelming sense of light-headed-ness and euphoria - Mookie Island. At first, the feeling is alarming (some of those first timers will yak...some will not such as MC, CM). nothing matters because you're swimming. as you swim, you approach the shores of mookie island, you breathe, you breathe again, and it feels fucking good. you feel the sand, you're almost there. you keep going and yes, you're there. i hope that was fun, that's my life.
