An excerpt from Rolling Stone 10/28/93 

"Five Against the World" by Cameron Crowe 

It had all begun with an unassuming tape marked "Stone Gossard
Demos 91." The guitar-god magazines have only recently
discovered it, but most Pearl am songs began life as a Gossard riff.
One of his early favorites was a song called "Dollar Short," an
unfinished track that he'd started working on back when he and
bassist Ament were in Mother Love Bone. Love Bone was the
promising Seattle hard-rock band they'd formed after the breakup of
their previous group, grunge pioneers Green River. When Love Bone
singer/songwriter Andrew Wood died in 1990 of a tragic heroin
overdose, Ament -- the Montana-born son of a barber --
downshifted, playing around town with a group called the War
Babies and returning to his other love, graphic arts. Gossard -- a
Seattle native whose father is a lawyer -- barely put down his guitar,
playing constantly, moving away from the trippy atmospherics of
Love Bone and toward a hard-edged groove. Part of the new
blueprint was "Dollar Short." Eventually Gossard called in
McCready, an explosive lead guitarist who had been so bummed
out by the breakup of his own Seattle band, Shadow, that he'd
started turning into a Republican -- literally. He'd cut his hair, was
working in a video store and was reading a book by
archconservative Barry Goldwater. "I was becoming a staunch
conservative," McCready says, "because I was so depressed."
Gossard saw him more as his new secret weapon for the band he
wanted to form.
