Does anyone happen to have a pdf of the article “Inventing Eddie Vedder?”
I know it wasn’t the most flattering article, but I’m trying to find a pdf to read of it…Can anyone help?

I didn’t know he was a big theater actor before this article. In the recent audible recording he mentioned he loved (maybe still does) reading plays. I mean that fits. Plus the scarf/mourning seems very young Ed. I think Black is about that girlfriend.
Ed hustling at the Baccanal also just makes logical sense. He wanted to make music his life. Who wouldn’t want to get close to as many people in the biz as possible.
Mourning in a very... extroverted way is part of every teen having their heart crushed, is it not?
Dave A talks about Eddie and how he was networking (maybe he framed it more as "sucking up", don't remember) with famous people in the biz when he was in the band. In the podcast interviews he did. So I guess that kind of networking is part of Eddies ways.
Mike McCready once said in an interview or if it was the PJ20 book that Eddie is the one with Neil Youngs phone-number, and not the other guys in the band. Don't remember the context.
All I ever find is what Stone says about it.

My favorite is still Eddie’s explanation for “Glorified version of ‘I hate this song’” - made me think of the acting comment.

it seem like he was fake and invented his persona. If it would have been after Yield it would have been “The Evolution of Eddie Vedder”. Context of the time was when politics really dug low to find dirt to ruin candidates running for office. Feels like they tried to do kind of thing to Eddie.
