This week's episode takes us back to the Yield tour to cover Pearl Jam's first headlining arena gig in Minnesota. With only a few shows under their belt in the early onset of the Matt Cameron era, the band was starting to figure out their stride with the new, then temporary, drummer. The crowd was red hot for every performance and every hiccup within this set, which led to some surprised reactions from Ed, who didn't have the show in mind as a sleeper show. The big story coming out of this show stemmed from a callback to something that The Who did in their live shows. After years of playing My Generation ad nauseum, they turned the song into a very riffy, blues influenced jam. This is something that Ed, a lifelong Who fan, picked up on and started to utilize during Porch in a similar fashion back around the mid-2000's. This was the first instance where they dabbled in it. We'll talk about the history of both My Generation blues and the slow/riffy Porch intros and how it became a staple for them much later in their live career. We'll also dig into great performances of Brain Of J., Faithfull, Even Flow, Black and very early versions of Pilate and All Those Yesterdays which were rarely played that year. Joining us for this episode is our longtime friend Kirk Walton who we like to call Mr. Minnesota. He'll share his story about the show which included a trip to Mervyn's of California, and we'll also get to chat about the misery that Minnesota sports fans endure.

Auckland Council says it was aware of dishonest behaviour from E-scooter company Beam before it was made public.   Australian media exposed the company for deploying too many scooters in some cities and manipulating its data.   The council's since accused the company of breaking its contract, and is referring the matter to the police.   Auckland Council Licensing Manager Mervyn Chetty told Mike Hosking it was tipped off this month.   He says it included internal comms from Beam, showing an intent to mislead the council.   Options are being explored to restock scooters in the city, and Chetty says they hope to have the process completed soon.   LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Send us a Text Message.Mervyn Kersh recently celebrated his 99th birthday.  Nearly a century of life on earth and what a life he has had. The hair may have turned silver, but he still has the same twinkle in his eye that he had as a young man.I went to visit Mervyn at his immaculate home in Cockfosters, which he shares with his two cats, and over a cup of tea and ginger biscuits he told me his remarkable story. In this episode you can listen to his experiences of the D Day landings, entering a booby-trapped chateaux,  battling his way across France and into Germany and the horror of stumbling across newly-liberated concentration camp Bergen Belsen.From there Mervyn was told to prepare to go to the Far East. 'The Japanese heard I was coming so they surrendered,' he joked. Instead, he was sent to Egypt where he contracted dysentery. By the time he was demobbed and returned home he was so brown and skinny his own mother didn't recognise him. 'Can I help you?' she asked as he walked up the garden path.Mervyn attempted to settle back into life as a civilian, but it was hard. 'Every job I applied for I was told I was too old. I was 22. How could I have come earlier?'Eventually he found his calling in journalism, settled to civilian life, married a lovely lady and had three children. In 2015 he was awarded the Legion d'Honneur, France's highest military honour. He is also president of the Association of Jewish Ex-Servicemen and Women. Every year he returns to Normandy to take part in commemoration services, but the visits he enjoys most are to secondary schools. He tells children his extraordinary story and sings them a song that goes like this.'Me and my wise old horsey. The times I've heard him say, the trouble with the world is the people who live in it. They've all learned to get, but they've never learn to give in it. You'll never build a world, a decent sort of world. You'll never build a world that way.'Thank you to our media partner: Family History Zone – a website covering archives, history and genealogy.  Please check then out at www.familyhistory.zone and consider signing up for their free weekly newsletter.Thank you to our media partner: Family History Zone – a website covering archives, history and genealogy.

Part 2 picks up where we left off in Part 1, with Nate's arrival at SF State and his counselor's suggestion that he switch his major from Business to Art. Nathan graduated from State in 1994. With airbrushing becoming popular around that time, he and his buddy E had opened an airbrush store in the Bayview that did quite well. Nathan wasn't even 20 yet.   The store on Third stayed open about a year and a half, he says. At this point in the conversation, Nathan and I go on a sidetrack about how we both approach life and big decisions. He says he tries to stay open to opportunities, to seize them when appropriate.   He still lived with his parents after graduation and didn't have a job lined up. At this point, we cycle through many jobs, good and bad, that he had over the years—Atari (game tester), American Design Intelligence Group (graphic designer), Mervyn's (graphic designer), Gymboree (boys' clothing designer), Zutopia (clothing designer), and Duty Free Stores (product/souvenir designer).   He still worked at DFS when 9/11 happened. The months and years following that event saw a decline in sales for the company. He was on paternity leave following the birth of his first son when he got a phone call—he had been let go.   But whatever pain that might have brought—after all, Nathan had an infant and a mortgage—it proved to be the impetus for him to start what this year is celebrating its 20th anniversary. New Skool Clothing and Accessories is his line of SF-inspired clothing for all ages.   We end Part 2 with Nathan's response to this season's theme on the podcast—We're All In It. He mentions the mentoring he's been doing at Hunt and Gather Gallery in the Inner Sunset. And he says he's at a point in his life where he wants to help and give back.   Follow New Skool on social media @newskoolSF and Nathan's personal accounts @nate1design.   Photography by Jeff Hunt
