Vedder.,. Vedder..,, he was in a niche band in the 90s, right?

If I had to rank the “grunge” bands from the 90s, Toe Jam would be dead last.

Alice In Chains takes the Gold IMHO.

Soundgarden is a respectable Silver medalist.

Stone Temple Pilots gets the Bronze, only because I thoroughly detest Dave Grohl. Kurt and Krist Novoselic get Bronze medals in my book.

The best thing about Toe Jam was their original drummer Dave Abbruzzese who was sacked after their second album AND denied entry into the Rock Hall.

Eddie Vedder is the 90s equivalent of Springsteen….self-important, peaked in high school, and flatulent.

Eddie decided his own career was far more important than the life of the child he convinced his teen girlfriend to kill. He’s a POS. Harrison is a saint.

Lol, Eddie Vedder. Now, I just need to hear what Perry Farrell thinks about it, to make up my mind.

He wasn’t describing White males as maniacal disciples of
Satan, so obviously it was divisive.

There was nothing divisive at all about his speech.

I’d put STP #2 behind AIC.

If Vedder agrees with your position on an issue, re-think your position.

Eddie Vedder‘s voice is perfect for singing sea shanties.

It’s weird how the left is so enraged at any prominent person supporting traditional Christian and family values, but the same people are silent when it comes to the abuses of Muslims, Communists, and many others when it comes to women’s rights.

If I didn’t know better, I’d start to suspect they just hate Christianity, Christians, and especially Christ.

Can Pearl Jam and the NFL both lose this one?
