As Much as I Try To Hate Eddie Vedder
I really can’t. And I HAVE tried, believe me- since about 1996. Don’t get me wrong, I passionately hate Pearl Jam (I mean, post-Vs., duh) and the thousands of bands that heard EV sing and thought their imitation of his voice was a good idea. Eddie, on the other hand, seems like kind of a funny, cool guy. X-RAY: EDDIE VEDDER 5% Morbid fear of Kenny Loggins “I’ve always thought that as a surfer you need to be careful of what the last song you hear before you paddle out is going to be—‘cause that’s the song that could be playing in your head. Say if you;re in the parking lot at El Porto, and you are hearing maybe “Footloose” coming out of one of the other cars as you;re putting on your wetsuit—you are fucked. You’re going to be listening to “Footloose” for the next hour and a half in your head.”
