Does anyone know the story behind these lyrics/poem from Ed? It’s not ringing a bell at all. This was posted by a big music collector here in Arizona.

    Doesn’t look like the signature I have. Possibly fake

    Yeah, with all the signatures in the signed poster thread, I'd say this looks very suspect.

    It really does. I don’t want to flame the owner of it but it seems off.

    And yes, I thought it said “Breakfast” not “Breakout” the first time I read it.

    Very nice!

    Well if this thing is fake, they are a pretty good lyricist, I’ll give them that. It just is all so odd.

    They’re the lyrics from the Dead Milkmen song Diamonds in the Rough. Ed used to perform this with C-Average back in the late 90’s.

    Tenclub used to offer autograph verification if you emailed them a photo. I have no idea if they still do it.

    I’ve seen that signature before early 90s. The rest of the text looks like Ed’s printing.

    Interesting. It makes a lot more sense now… like I said I don’t want to flame the owner, they have a good reputation. I had just never heard of the song before. I appreciate the insight!

    I was very shocked to hear that Eddie Vedders band was not only covering a Dead Milkmen song, but one so obscure I had never heard of it

    Dead Milkmen, Dead Moon.. got the wrong Dead. At least I didn’t say Grateful.
