    Haaa. True. I think he might despise him, but what matters is the 2013 vedder is cool with 2013 vedder. Its hard to crush him when the money is for a cause, ya know?

    Sounds like the dinner is only with Clinton and Affleck, Ed is just performing. Definitely not worth it in that case. :roll:

    I find all this talk about what 1992 Vedder would think of 2013 Vedder weird. It would be more interesting and at least possible to find out what 2013 Vedder thinks of 1992 Vedder. Eddie is now a much more educated, realistic and centred person than he was in the early 90's. Surely that added level of muturity would make that a much more relevant opinion. Thats right most people think 1992 Vedder opinion and ideas are beter ebcause thats the music period they like.

    This probably gives more fuel to the rumors he's gonna be with the Stones on June 3rd in Chicago.

    If anything I would say it makes the rumor less likely. If you didn't know, Beverly Hills is pretty far from Chicago. :roll:

    No, the charity is the understandable part. The despise would come from the fact that someone has to pay 35k to watch him play music. You think 1992 eddie would be cool with that? Im sure 1992 eddie wouldnt have pictured being sold as a package with a filandering ex president and a movie star. But my point is that 2013 eddie is different, and if he ok with that, it's fine.
