    Awwww...

    I LOVE that "I want to be the plumber of rock stars"...I remember looking at the Riot Act photos and saying, "Wow...he looks like a plumber or a mechanic... or sweep up at a coffee shop..." When I developed my crush on Ed, my husband said, "I thought you said he looked like a plumber or a septic tank drainer..." What? They can't be good looking?

    "Do you still wear a lot of flannel?
    I'm not wearing one today, but I sure was wearing one yesterday."


    So Ed does change his clothes? Interesting.

    Newsweek: "Do you still wear a lot of flannel?"
    Vedder: "I'm not wearing one today, but I sure was wearing one yesterday."

    People do understand that flannel is a fabric not a pattern, right? Plaid is a pattern.

    This is plaid. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3o6nNFZu2wc

    This is flannel. http://www.amoeba.com/dynamic-images/blog/tad-press1.gif

    Maybe I shouldn't be surprised that Newsweek doesn't understand this. Misreporting seems to be one of their staples. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/05/15/AR2005051500605.html

    I remember how excited I was when Eddie and Pete Townsend were going to be on David Letterman together (July 28th, 1999 I believe). I even left myself a post on the TV. When it came on my brother was watching TV with me and he said "He doesn't look like a rockstar. He just looks like a normal guy."

    I think it's great that he has never really gotten comfortable with the whole "celebrity" thing.

    "I don't feel any differnt, although I may have a different job then some of the other parents...." That's a great line.
