But Ed pronounces it like I always thought it was, which is "A-ment" - ie: stressing the second syllable, not the first. A flat "a" sound, not "ay" or "ah". Like the word "lament".
Yeah that's what confuses me. Stone also says Ay-ment on that Integral Naked interview. Actually he "corrects" the interviewer who was saying Ah-ment.
But then I hear Eddie saying Ah-ment...
I pledge to you a government that will not only work well, but wisely, its ability to act tempered by prudence, and its willingness to do good, balanced by the knowledge that government is never more dangerous than when our desire to have it help us blinds us to its great power to harm us.

If that's the case then Vedder mispronounces Jeff's last name every time.
I have the Philly interview where the DJ tells Jeff straight out that he always called him ah-ment, and didn't know his name was pronounced ay-ment until he showed up for the interview that afternoon. The DJ goes on to say, but Eddie always says ah-ment, and you can almost hear Jeff's smile, and he sighs and says, yes, he does, and that's cool, too.
So although there's so much about him that makes you want to say "Ah," it's ay-ment, and our Eddie is just being a sweet little, ball busting pain in the ass!!
Wouldn't be surprised if Eddie is pulling his chain because Jeff grew up Catholic (AH-men...t)

Yeah, there is a joke in Poland, that every catholic fan of Pearl Jam adds "T" after "Amen" in a prayer
