Does anyone happen to have the old essay that Vedder wrote about Kurt Vonnegut? I think it was in Rolling Stone, but I’m not positive. I’d love to read it again if anyone can possibly help find it?
I appreciate anyone’s time and help.

    This might fit the bill?  Vonnegut is only mentioned towards the end but I will include the entire letter, since it is a nice reminder how many artists (including Vonnegut) the band has introduced me to throughout the years.

    Cool letter. I saw Pete Townshend at the Supper Club as well but it was on 1996. It was the first time I ever bought a ticket from a scalper. But I squeezed my way up front and got one of his used guitar picks. So it was worth it.

    Wow...Thanks so much for these posts. You guys are awesome. A friend of mine was at a show in which Vedder was handing out books from a box — and he was handed “Bluebeard” by Vonnegut. Anyone else here happen to have been there, or know what other titles he was handing out?

    Any other Vonnegut books that Ed has mentioned - that anyone knows of?

    I definitely remember hearing (elsewhere) that cats cradle is (or, at least, was) his favourite book.
