    Eh... probably just some wingnut copywriter who assumes that a solo tour means he's no longer w/the band.

    Seriously, 6.7 tons?! Wow. Can I just get one of those bricks? Maybe two? haha

    Oh yea, as for the caption, it's just some doofus writer for the Trib. And Cusack looks kinda freaky too.
    He floated back down 'cause he wanted to share, his key to the locks on the chains he saw everywhere.

    Well as a photographer for the paper myself the photog actually writes the caption below the photos. Now, he can just be making the assumption that since Eddie is on a Solo tour that he is no longer in the band( that would be my guess). Also, the editors don't really look at the cutlines to much when we send that stuff in, they just check for spelling and grammar. In some cases though, I have had them re-write everything for some odd reason( slow day at the paper I guess) but that rarely ever happens.

    So I would say photog just made a mistake and the Editor didn't check.

    Editors are supposed to check, that's why they're editors. Please do not make excuses for the horrendous, unprofessional manner of today's newspapers. Illiterate, inaccurate, just vehicles for madvertising.

    But I'm telling you, I'm putting that line on a T-shirt, former Pearl Jam singer and SOLO MUSICIAN...now THAT'S a vocal ullulation....:)

    I believe that was an OVER-reaction.

    Just because some misinformed newspaper writer thinks it, does not make it true.

    Has it been edited now then?

    I ask as when I click the link it says this with the Picture of the Stanley Cup Trophy:

    Celebs and Stanley
    Detroit Red Wings hockey player and former Chicago Blackhawk Chris Chelios (left), actor John Cusack (center) and Pearl Jam's Eddie Vedder pose with the Stanley Cup trophy before the start of the Cubs game at Wrigley Field.

    Wait a minute. It doesn't say "Former" Pearl Jam's Eddie Vedder. I just copied this a minute ago.

    Now, the blog that says former PJ Stone Gossard is disturbing.

    I think maybe who ever is writing these articles is confused because of the Pearl Jam member's other projects. Maybe they just don't realize the band has always had other projects.

    And yes, John Cusack does look disturbing, and Ed's shirt is definatly cool :cool:

    edit: oops, Fitz beat me to it.

    earlier, it said eddie was the former front man. I figured it was an error. :)
    But I am nosey and searched on "formerly of pearl jam" and that's when I found that thing about stone.

    I did and either the thread starter is pulling our pisser or it was a mistake thats been edited.

    As for Stone, well we knew that as his Twin Brother kindly stepped in for this years dates. He will be missed! Actually no, its terrible journalism.

    Indeed, I was thinking that earlier. It appears when people start these panics its something that is greatly missed and they appear to have forgotten.

    FFS just enjoy them instead of posting this CRAP!
