Opened up the sports page of the LA Times this morning and on page two found a blurb about Billy Corgan's recent comments about Eddie's "All the Way" song for the Cubs (along with a small picture of each).
Not gonna scan the paper but here's a link to the web article: http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/sports_blog/2008/11/totally-rand-24.html
And this is what the blurb had to say:
Cubs' October swoon
The rock band Smashing Pumpkins hails from Chicago, and during a recent hometown concert, lead singer Billy Corgan turned territorial when alluding to Eddie Vedder’s “All The Way,” inspired by the Cubs.
According to the Chicago Sun-Times, Corgan railed against Pearl Jam lead singer Vedder for writing the song, telling the crowd it doomed the Cubs’ chances of reaching the World Series.
''Last I checked, Eddie ain't living here, OK?'' Corgan reportedly said. ''Eddie ain't living here to write a song about my . . . team.''
No, Vedder’s band is Pearl Jam, based in Seattle. But Vedder is a native of Evanston, Ill., and inspirational fodder in Seattle -- home of the Mariners, Seahawks and Washington Huskies -- isn’t much these days.

Agreed. I was just bringing up the fact that it was in the newspaper today. Thought it was kind of cool to open up the sports section and see Eddie's picture in there. That's all.
