    Update...in line now.
    Tom Morello and Thomas Young were on the radio about a hour ago said that EV was planning to come but has "some things he going through now and couldn't make it.". Hope all is well.

    Should be a great show regardless.

    BTW...sxsw volunteer says that EV is an "egotistical toolbox" and cancelled b/c too many people found out he was coming. Toolbox-who says that? Jeez, what an a-hole.

    He was also supposed to do a show on the kids stage at Lolla but he bagged on that too.

    So yeah, looks like EV was the special guest but didn't make it. Which sucks even worse cause there was no alternate special guest. However it was still pretty awesome. Plus, it seemed like Thomas Young (the soldier it was for) was having a blast. Have to admit I got a little teary-eyed a couple of times. And Tom Morello gave us a badass acoustic version of Guerilla Radio. Man, that guy can't sing for shit, but he can play some damned guitar. So it was still worth it to go.

    The musicians were celebrating the release of "Body of War," the new documentary about paralyzed Iraq war veteran Tomas Young, who also worked with Pearl Jam's Eddie Vedder to curate the film's soundtrack. Vedder was caring for an ailing relative and unable to make yesterday's premiere of the film and concert, but the others filled in admirably.

    I hope everything is okay with Eddie's family.
    Let's say knowledge is a tree, yeah.
    It's growing up just like me.
