Eddie Vedder said he took the rhythm and chords from this song to compose Better Man.

Here’s my favorite:

The last line of this song sounds spookily like “I’m dead”, but it’s actually “and then”

One of my favorite songs from the 80’s. Pete Townshend did a very nice cover of it as well.

You probably heard the story about Dave Wakeling getting a call from Pete and David Gilmour asking him about the tuning he used on that song. Imagine getting that call.
