yeah what a weirdo thing to say

You misunderstood me. Many front men in rock have odd reputations and stories that go with them - not necessarily true stories. Divorces are often a source of this stories. I wouldn't have thought of that if Beth wasn't mentioned in the story about the Bad Radio tape.
I was wondering how come someone with a reputation of being difficult or worst doesn't really have that much anecdotes to back that up floating around.

Maybe he took the Springsteen approach and gave his ex an absurd amount of money and made her sign a contract to never publicly speak of what happened.

This alone is an example of what i was talking about.

What was the story that was on the internet about his oldest daughter not really being his? It was a really fucking bizarre thing that popped up on youtube, right?

i think the "eddie vedder odd story" is probably the chick trying to drive her car into his house. or the numerous times he's almost drowned.

really? never saw or heard that.

It was on a video of Just Breathe I think, one that had a slideshow of him and his family on it. I remember someone posting it on here, but maybe I'm wrong. The story was one of the most bizarre fucking things, something like it was the kid of one of the 10C employees and Ed was raising it and pretending it was his. Fucking batshit stuff.

This seems to be the source of it. I'm assuming it was a joke, but it's a pretty fucking odd one. Then again, someone from RM is probably behind it.

Im halfway convinced thats an actual crazy stalker, ive seen that pop up in the comments of different youtube videos and various pearl jam related articles and what have you, usually sounding pretty angry/nutty in tone. Seems like alot of effort for a joke idk.

is it our very own malice?

Lol never heard of that story before. Gadawful.

for all the shit we give the band, and especially Eddie (warranted or not)... I can't imagine the scary things they actually have to put up with

Also, it's pretty noble of him to raise some other dude's kids as his own.

The effort to make show unique, from the merch to the setlist, is the best thing they have done.
