Now he wants more, a piece of all the action - the bills people pay, the phone calls they make, the news they read, the TV they watch. But he may have reached that point in the arc of success where the very qualities that raised him high could start to drag him down. If Gates is feeling a little cranky these days, he has good reason. The U.S. Justice Department derailed his $2 billion bid to acquire Intuit and its popular Quicken electronic check book program, a deal that ___(I)____ realize Microsofts ambition to make money from almost every commercial transaction in cyberspace.

Were sitting in the back of the bands tour bus on a cool desert night in Phoenix, where the band has just finished another musically and emotionally compelling show. Its weird he muses, were getting more comfortable playing live, and were playing more consistently every night. Yet sometimes its more difficult to get in that state of mind where you can just lose yourself to the music. Its clear that Gossard and the rest of Pearl Jam no longer want to rely... anger and craziness to drive the band, On the first tour we might have lost ourselves that way, and it could have sounded like a wall of shit to some people. Now were finding a new way to groove, through getting more confident as a band. Were locking for a new balance between losing ourselves and locking in, while still being conscious of the song.
