Interview with "Josh" from Pearl Jam's 1992 "Even Flow" video [1]

['Elías Villoro']

Date: 2022-12-06

At the beginning of the 1992 official music video for Pearl Jam's intergalactic grunge anthem, "Even Flow," lead singer Eddie Vedder can be heard yelling at someone named Josh.

"It's not a TV studio…JOSH. Turn these lights out. It's a f***king rock concert."

Who was Josh? And what actually happened? Was he a lighting person? A friendly cameraman? In this exclusive The Cuckoo Show interview from September 2021, "Josh"* offers insight into what life has been like, the constant hassling, his ongoing battles with PTSD, and his traumatic relationship with lights.

*The Josh referenced in the Pearl Jam video, now famous for his troubles with lights, is Josh Taft, the prolific music video and commercial producer.
