It’s like a moron’s interpretation of what a Generation X Bruce Springsteen character would be.

I have a framed print I’d like post of Eddie Vedder. It depicts an earlier version of his big first class shtick.

It is an image on my phone. How best to post said image?

I just had an epiphany today. 11 will hinge on the 2020 election. It won’t come out until a year from now and the content will depend on who wins.

why are we even wondering about a new album after those last 2 turds? that's like eating two horrific dinner courses and hoping the next is amazing.

bunch of masochists around here, i guess.

Agreed, as though there's an "Eddie Vedder" character he plays on stage.
Dave Grohl did the exact same thing around the turn of the century - he inexplicably went from the softly spoken guy who used to be in Nirvana into a yellin' and burpin' Jack Black on stage.

It's almost as if you can't be yourself once you're playing huge arenas/stadiums.

It’s probably an age thing. Fucking around buys yourself time to catch your breath

Every single A-list frontman ever has a stage persona. This isn’t news.

Ahem

Eddie Vedder and Glen Hansard working on the soundtrack to Sean Penn’s new movie?


According to Glen Hansard, the soundtrack to Sean Penn’s new movie may feature songs that he wrote with Eddie Vedder. Photo by Andrea Rosate.


As reported by estupidafregona.net, Glen Hansard was interviewed by a Spanish radio and revealed that he has been working on new material with Eddie Vedder. The Irish singer-songwriter said that they have written a few songs in a cabana near the sea in California, where they have been staying for ten days in early October .

One of these songs may be I’ll Be Waiting, a new tune by Eddie and Glen that premiered at the Rock4EB benefit concert in Malibu on October 6.

Hansard also added that these songs could be included in the soundtrack to Sean Penn’s new movie (Flag Day, now in post-production), but nothing’s been confirmed yet.
