Mr. Vedder, you deserve it.
When I heard his name last night, I clapped my hands like crazy. It was silly, but I was so happy. "Guaranteed" is my favourite song from Into the Wild.
Congratulations!
Let's say knowledge is a tree, yeah.
It's growing up just like me.
He is your friend, your partner, your defender, your dog. You are his life, his love, his leader. He will be yours, faithful and true, to the last beat of his heart. You owe it to him to be worthy of such devotion.

hey maybe he won because they knew he wasnt giving a speech..haha
quote]
Funny I was thinking the same thing, although i'm sure Ed would of given a good speach. He's grown up so much since those days
"it feels like it's the end of the world and we all got a good seat. you know -- step right up, get your tickets...here we go."
A friend, he called, I didn't mention a thing. The last thing he said was, "Be sound". Sound. I contemplated an awful thing, I hate to admit. I just thought those would be such appropriate last words. But I'm still here.
I was watching NBC and they didn't even mention the writing and the music awards. BOO! I mean, you didn't need to pan to the useless people on the couch. It amazes me that even with the "concise" reporting of the winners they couldn't manage to squeeze in those categories?
Anyway, hooray to Eddie Vedder for his song “Guaranteed” from Into the Wild.
/Sucked that Eddie couldn't have gotten his award in person.
//Doesn't really matter because he wouldn't have probably been there anyway.
///Even if he was there, it’s possible that he would have only said a few words and left the stage.
////Once he gets the statue he’s going to drive across the country, take the statue to Chris McCandless’ mother, have dinner with the McCandless family, talk about the life of their son, life in general and his own family. They’ll have dessert and coffee; invite him to stay the night. He won’t and somewhere in Middle America, as he’s driving back home, he’s going to pull to the side of the road and eat a piece of pie the family sent home with him and he’ll silently give thanks to everyone that’s ever helped him.

Wow, this is awesome. I just found out.
So proud of you, Ed
I was just listening to the soundtrack and when
Guaranteed played, I totally thought how amazing the song is
Yay!
That's great!
Do we really need a show?
Plus I'm glad there wasn't a show. maybe now the writers will get some press and they can work on ending this thing.

Why contain yourself like any other book on the shelf?
Subtle voices in the wind hear the truth they're telling.
A world begins where the road ends.
Watch me leave it all behind.
hilarious! thanks for clarifying that the portly fellow was not eddie!
