that was very cool I thought. I know some people will like to take the "$10,000 is a drop in the bucket for Vedder" route...but still, it was his drop to keep or give, and he chose to give.

and that it was so seemingly random made it all the more nice.

Also, unless the laws have changed, that's the largest amount you can offer as gift tax free. So "only" giving 10 grand helps the family in the immediate AND they won't be burdened by a tax hit. So, it's actually a great move beyond it's generosity. Good on him.

that's a really nice story. Somewhere in another thread you can find RMers criticizing Eddie for not doing it anonymously...

I like how defensive all the comments are in this thread.
