NEW IDEA:
Inspirational children's book about how the ashes of Mother Love Bone live in all of us, and no matter who we are we have the ability to rise from those ashes.
I'm thinking there should be penguins and turtles and baby goats in this book.

If it is a sheep you can have it rise from the ashes of mother love bone and grow up to be the sheep from vs.

That's a fantastic idea, and it will make for better product tie-ins with the Ten Club.
"The ashes of Mother Love Bone live in that baby sheep, just like they live in EVERY SINGLE ONE OF US, kids..."

Be quick, christmas is around the corner! That would be a perfect holiday story and i wouldn't exclude movie rights in the near future.

What Lament is not telling you is how much this smacks of a writer with delusions of grandeur wilfully moving away from his co-writer before their original idea came to fruition! "I started to believe" that he was about more than some post-Riot Act money grab, but now I'm not so sure.

Oh man, you haven't seen the bizarre crop of ideas I've been cobbling together for My Father's Son. Soon you will though...

I'm trying to work out a way we can shoehorn a secret multi-generational family feud into it as part of the background story explaining why the kid has an obligation to travel through time.
I'm not entirely certain it's gonna work though.

Well you've gotta try, man, rather than having a mountain of regret. There's so much at stake!

Pearl Jam Lightning Bolt (Monkeywrench/Republic)
Has Eddie Vedder outgrown Pearl Jam? Primary composer of the Seattle quintet's previous LP, 2009 ramrod Backspacer, the frontman wrote half of 10th studio album Lightning Bolt, and it's the better half. Both the singer's pummeling opener "Getaway" and the title strike recall the 23-year-old group's raw sophomore disc, Vs., the band having grown more Dischord-ant in middle age. And yet, it's the balladic side ("Sirens," the echoing "Pendulum") that stands out in this storm. "Sleeping by Myself," whose four-string accompaniment first appeared on Vedder's career high 2011 solo disc, Ukulele Songs, outshines everything else on Lightning Bolt, save perhaps his violin-kissed closer "Future Days." While the backside wavers, the band has never sounded better or more self-assured, but its ambition suggests they've outgrown simple song collections. Time for a concept epic. Time for Pearl Jam's Quadrophenia.

This review is a crock. But I thought the end was interesting. I think a concept album could be cool, not even necessarily an album with a story (I think ed could pull a story off though), but an album with any concept behind it, though backspacer could count as that maybe?
Maybe we just forward them harmless and laments story and see what we get?

I'm supposed to keep this a secret, but I figure I can trust you guys not to tell anyone else...
I've been in communication with Jeff about helping him write a rock opera about a mild-mannered skateboarder from Montana who accidentally falls into another dimension where basketball and rock 'n' roll don't exist, and he has to invent both of them in order to save the fate of the universe. He's pretty confident that if he shows up with the whole thing written and works one of Ed's ukulele songs into it, they'll just say "Fuck it, let's put it out. We need more cars."

I heard that after LA2, Eddie re-recorded the vocals to one of the outtakes from LB to be "Ricky, Ricky Micro-Penis" and he plans to open every show with it on a poorly tuned acoustic guitar during next year's Euro tour.

So, do they do anything in the studio between March and May in 2014? Or is this their 3 month vacation?
Looks like the next opportunity for studio time will likely be winter of 2014, assuming there is some type of US run in the fall of '14.
Are we taking wagers on release date for this thing? If so, my prediction is spring 2016, and I bet they will think they moved fast to get there.
