Is Ed really a Cubs fan or just a poser? On SNLin 92' and early on he wore a White Sox hat all the time. Meaningless I know, but just wondering.

remember the bar fight he got into alongside Jack McDowall? maybe it wasn't with him but it had something to do with Eddie.

I am from New York and ever since I was 5 I have been a Bears/Cubs fan. I hate the Sox, both red and white. I can't understand why he always throws the first pitch later in his career for the Cubs, but in the beginning wears a stinking Sox hat? It has always left me questioning where his loyalties lie. Like this question will keep me up at night, silly I know.

If you've heard the complete unplugged set, he says that Jack McDowell gave him the hat.

I'm a Sox fan and to be honest I enjoy giving Cubs fans shit, but thats the fun of it. It's like picking on your little brother. Some people take this shit too seriously.
Although claiming you are a diehard Cubs fan and then going on national television wearing a Sox hat is a different story. At one point at the end of the song he holds the hat up and endorses it.

Exactly... If you had a friend that played for a certain team you would support them... I am a die-hard Red Wings fan and hate the Avalanche but if one of my friends played for Colorado I would have to like them. He really had no choice.

Back in 1992, Dr. Dre wore a White Sox hat all the time too. Good times...

FWIW, I listen to >75% of all cub games on the radio, not a huge fan but that's all we got in the midwest.
Anyway, either last summer or 2 summers ago (B4 Vic?), EV was at a Cubs game to sing "Take Me Out To The Ball Game". If you are aware of who Ron Santo is, an infamous former cub player now radiobroadcaster, was going on and on and on about how much he respected EV, and how he comes to camps in the spring, and how he is a huge fan.
And if you listen to the Vic boots, after he sings the "Go All The Way" song about the cubs, he says "Now here is a song about the sox....f$&k 'em"...
Ron is old enough that he probably doesn't give two shits about Pearl Jam.
I would think that if someone that close to the Cubbies says publically that EV is a die-hard Cubs fan, it's more than likely true.
Remember, I am talking "present tense", not 10 year ago
Also, since I know soooooo many of you are Foo Fighters fans , whenever they play near Chi, Dave Grohl always tells the story about his first concert at the Cubbie Bear.

You would be suprised how many people like both teams outside of chicago. It is possible for someone to not make it their life.
no more shows
