Eddie just showed up at NASCAR's annual awards to recognize his friend Tony Stewart's career. He had a good speech and introduced Tony. Next the NASCAR community donated 1.8 Million in Tony's name to Eddie Vedder's Foundation.

    Isn't that the dude that ran over and killed another driver during some incident a couple years back?
    And so you see, I have come to doubt
    All that I once held as true
    I stand alone without beliefs
    The only truth I know is you.

    Very cool. Thanks for posting that.

    When he's all cleaned up the Russel Crowe likeness is even more apparent.

    Would love to see him stand up there and yell "are you not entertained!?"

    No one knows for certain. The blame should go to the guy who was driving high and walked into the middle of the track.

    Here's the porch message board I know and love. Wait long enough and someone can turn a $1.5 million donation to charity into something negative.
