A St. Louis radio station "K-Hits" were talking about the Saint Louis Film Fest... Here is a Documentary that Eddie is supposed to be in. The Disc Jockey said Eddie is all over the movie. Not sure if this has been posted or not.

Song Sung Blue
Greg Kohs, U.S., 2008, 85 min.
Saturday, Nov. 15, noon, Tivoli 1

“Song Sung Blue” tells the inspiring and ultimately tragic love story of Lightning & Thunder, Mike and Claire Sardina, a Milwaukee husband-and-wife singing duo who pay tribute to the music of Neil Diamond. Filmmaker Kohs goes backstage into the tumultuous and frequently calamitous personal lives of the couple – from their humble beginnings more than 20 years ago to the threshold of fame, when Pearl Jam’s Eddie Vedder memorably joined the couple for a rousing “Forever in Blue Jeans” at the Wisconsin State Fair. Variety observes: “Dysfunction and delusion run rife through a stranger-than-fiction saga that starts out kitschily amusing, then finds drama and pathos in its subjects’ rather hapless progress.” “Song Sung Blue,” which won both the jury and audience prizes as best documentary at Slamdance, movingly explores fleeting celebrity and lasting love. With director Kohs.

I read about this some months back. Totally forgot about it too.

I read about the documentary and the concert at the fair was in 1995, so I assume it will be an old clip of that.

I noticed in Ed's solo tour booklet that he's been in or written music for, a lot of movies. I was surprised at the number: fifteen. :eek:

I do remember reading about this a few months back.
Hmmmmm kind of tempted to go see it. Man the website to get tickets is all wonky tho! I kept clicking on this movie and it kept bringing up Rebel Without A Cause!
Finally figured it out, $10 a ticket. Wish it was on this side of the river.
