In an interview with Jared from the KoL today in the Irish times, he had the following to say about Eddie:
It depends what kind of rock star you want to be. There are certain people who get off on being the 'rock star', and it kind of brings out the worst of them and makes them want to be an asshole. But then you meet people like Pearl Jam's Eddie Vedder, who is just a chilled, laid-back person, and who only cares about doing good. He has his head on his shoulders, and that's the kind of rock star I'd like to be. I don't really want to be a rockstar to be honest.

Pretty cool view of Eddie I think :)

    They really seemed to appreciate the time the two bands spent together.
    It was fun watching KOL at the VA Beach show. They were hanging out on the side of the stage, enjoying the show like the rest of us.
    Eddie also mentioned a contest-filled stopover at the Followills' farm.

    They should play together. Or even better, a PJ gig with KOL supporting, i would pay top for that. KOL are awsome live.

    Then why does Jared act like such an asshole?

    And he even admits it in the home movies.

    Eddie mentioned the same thing at the Columbia show the night after the stop over. Sounded like it was a hella good time.

    He's young still. Remember Eddie in the early 90's?
