Eddie Vedder was disgusted that Pearl Jams drummer, Dave Abbruzzese, had purchased a gun and brought it to a rehearsal. Abbruzzese grew up in Texas, where guns are common, and tried to explain to Eddie that it was no big deal. Vedder wrote this after their conversation. (thanks, Keith - Phoenix, AZ) G is short for Gangsta, which is a term used in the rap community to describe someone who doesnt play by the rules. Vedder was making the point that people carry guns to feel like theyre important. The line, Glorified version of a pellet gun is commonly misheard as Forty-five versions of a pelican (thanks, Elliot - St. Louis, MO)
