Eddie Vedder. With all his dark and moody songs, you might be surprised to learn that Vedder is a ukulele-playing surfer. When asked to compare waves to crowds, he once said: “With a packed house, unless you say something incredibly offensive to God or country, a crowd of 15,000 people will not kill you. I guess they could if they wanted to, but they will not all jump on you at the same time and hold you down for two minutes. That’s the difference between a big crowd and a big wave. When Kelly (Slater) takes me to Waimea Bay, that wave does not give a sh– who I am.”

    Nice article, but I have to admit I find it a little funny that a STL article would be talking about surfing. Not too many places to do that around here.. LOL
