Jerry Vedder

Yesterday early evening I was driving back with my folks and my sister and nephew from a fish fry dinner. I was driving and turned the radio on. YLB was playing so I turned it up just alittle bit more. My father sitting up front with me turns and says what is this Jerry Vedder guy even singing about? My mother in the back seat says that's not Jerry Vedder his name is Eddie Vedder even I know that. I bust out laughing and so does my sister and her son along with my mother. My father then replies well whatever his name is he still can't sing worth a darn. And then does a quick impression of Ed. Just kinda grunting and moaning sound. I nearly had to pull over from laughing so hard. My dad laughed and smiled after it was all over :lol: So it's good to know that my dad hasn't lost his sense of humor after all he has gone threw in the past 7 months. :D
Just wanted to share that quick story. :)

    My mum calls them 'Pearl' :lol:
    And doesn't realise it's a band and that Eddie had long hair prior to the garden/showbox shows.

    My brother, who is an ass, calls the band "toe jam". As much as I hate to admit it, it's kinda funny when he says it.

    Hahaha, great story. Funny one going along with it, one of my roommates, when a bunch of my and my friends went to Bonnaroo last summer, he was high or something during PJ's performance, so he said "OMFG, It's JESUS on stage!", and then started doing "huh hah huh", singing along with eddie, in a moaning voice. He actually does that whenever I play some PJ song on guitar, it's funny stuff.
