‎"So that was about a friend who is fucking up and there is nothing you can do about it! And you just watch'em go down down down. And then, other times you have got friends that don't fuck up at all and are great people. And then you just lose them for some reason. They are off the planet and you never had a chance to say goodbye. I only mention this because there was a person we used to know here and that was Diane and ah, we never got a chance to say goodbye. This is goodbye!"And if you've got good friends, love 'em while they're here."

- Eddie Vedder

    man, i love that speech. that's what i like the most about pj... it's not only music, it goes beyond that...
    friendship matters, love matters... ed was really inspired.

    it's great to see that others pj fans are aware of that. they've listened to what eddie said and made that an important issue, important enough to put that in a new topic at 10c forum.

    that's awesome...
