Didn't seem to help the Twins avoid a sweep, but cool story anyway.

    I'm assuming he was in KC to see Tomas Young. You have to give Ed credit, he is very loyal.

    It must have been a very difficult trip to say the least.

    My new favorite description of Ed: ".......you can tell he's got a lot of special things going through that head of his. He's a poet, just an incredible human being."

    Thanks for sharing this article! :clap:

    What he said about Ed when he looks at you is dead on. He always looks you in the eye and has a way about it that's very special. If you have ever been in the crowd reaching out for a hand shake he does the same thing he makes sure to see who's persons hand he is shaking and makes sure to lock eyes with you for a good second or two. It sounds very normal but there is something about it that just isn't. He's the man!

    I agree. It is almost like he doesn't have his Polaroid with him, so he is locking you into the memory bank or something - like he doesn't want to forget. And you're right -- He IS the man! ;)

    I wonder if he was in town to say goodbye to Tomas Young? If so, it must have been a pretty emotional time.

    Lucky bastards. Dream come true for sure. I would keep the guitar locked up but I would still play it.

    Vedder had stopped by the Twins' clubhouse last season when the team was in Seattle, where the godfather of grunge still makes his home.

    Godfather? Really? What about someone like Chris Cornell or Layne Staley or even Andy Wood?

    Of course, now I gotta know which lyrics Ed sang during YL! Was there a tag? DETAILS, DADGUMMIT! :lol:
