There’s a video of Pearl Jam with half of Crowded House at a music festival in New Zealand playing Not Given Lightly, a song by Chris Knox (also of Tall Dwarfs). Everyone at the festival, except Eddie Vedder, appears to know the song, which always impressed me as I thought of it as pretty obscure. Not in Knox’s native New Zealand then. Chris suffered a stroke years ago (which makes the album title of Seizure somewhat… interesting) but is still around and now someone wrote a book about him, named after this song (which, incidentally, made our wedding playlist).
