Baseball Tonight & Pearl Jam

[Guest Spaceman Spiff]

So I'm watching Baseball Tonight from 7-8 PM tonight (9/1/02), and they're playing Pearl Jam's "Rearviewmirror" as the background music for Web Gems. I was kinda curious to see what portion of the song they were going to play, because towards the end, one of the lyrics is "I gather speed from you fucking with me".

 

It turned out to be the last portion of the song, so I was sure to pay attention for this lyric. Lo and behold, the lyric makes it onto the air without being edited out. Granted, "fucking" isn't crystal clear when hearing the song, so I doubt anybody else picked up on it, but I guess they don't have any Pearl Jam fans on staff (or at least none that would have put the Web Gems segment together).
