For those that don't know, Glen got his start as a muscian busking on Grafton Street.![]()
I honestly can't think of a better way to honor Glen. So awesome. And can you imagine? You're wandering around Grafton St and there's goddamn Eddie Vedder busking? Unreal. Would have given anything to see that.

I like Neko. But it’s pretty a shitty, cowardly and selfish thing to do to wait until Glen died to level these horrific accusations, when he can’t defend himself or face the consequences, and when his wife, child and family are in deep pain.tragabigzanda wrote: Mon August 03, 2026 6:04 pm I've never listened to a single Glen song all the way through; never saw Once; never saw him open for Ed.

looking from outside, i feel like glen was probably his most trusted buddy for the last 15 years or so
sure he's had flings with boom and klinghoffer
but ed would always come back to glen for his solo tours
and they clearly had a close connection
this prob hurts a lot for him
