Where did Pearl Jam get their name? Thereâs a lot of misinformation on this subject, most of it gleefully spread by the band. For example, despite Eddie Vedderâs repeated claims, he did not have a great-grandmother Pearl who married a Native American and cooked up jam with peyote as an ingredient. And although the band was originally named Mookie Blaylock, after the star NBA point guard, âPearl Jamâ was not his nickname. (They changed their name to avoid legal problemsâbut Ten, the title of their debut, was Blaylockâs jersey number.) The band also doesnât seem to have intended their name to refer to semen.
Slick Rick is a rapper who was popular in the '80s, and Sammy Davis Jr. was a legendary entertainer and part of Frank Sinatra's Rat Pack.. He was, as Winehouse sings, a black Jew. The titular Mr. Jones is New York rapper Nas (real name Nasir Jones), who became good friends with Winehouse after being name checked. He told XXL in 2011: I don't really remember if [producer] Salaam [Remi], who was really close to her, who introduced us, if he told me about it or not.
