DescriptionAn outtake from the Riot Act sessions that appeared as the hidden final track of Pearl Jam’s 2003 compilation album Lost Dogs. “4/20/02” was the date when vocalist Eddie Vedder first heard the news that Alice in Chains vocalist Layne Staley was found dead in his home. The song functions as a tribute to him as well as an attack on anyone that has sounded or tried to sound like him for the sake of making money, because to Eddie Vedder, there’s no one that was as good as Staley.
LyricsSo all you fools
Who sing just like him
Feel free to do so now
Cuz he's dead

Using, using, using
The using takes toll
Isolation
Just so happy to be one
Sad to, sad to think
Sad to think of him all alone

Lonesome friend, we all knew
Always hoped you'd pull through

No blame, no blame
No blame, it could be you
Using, you can't grow old using

So sing just like him, fuckers
It won't offend him
Just me
Because he's deadYou might also like
