General Music Chat

Fame and fortune is highly over-rated. Most people are simply crushed under it's weight. J. Morrison, J. Joplin, J. Hendrix, Sid Vicious, Kurt Cobain, and others paid the final price while 100s of walking wounded are still out there today. I watched as many of my musician friends snorted their whole lives up their nose in the 80s.

So who gets it right? The ones who understand that they are just a guy/gal with a cool job that has long hours but pays pretty well. They are well grounded, humble, and have no illusions of grandeur. They know who God is and it ain't them. When the tracks are laid or the tour is over they go home to their families in the country and avoid the trappings of high society.

I got the chance to work for 6 months at Eddie Vedder's home and I have to say he's the nicest most stable person you'd want to know. And his wife was really nice to me too. He's a good model for how you'd want to be if you were famous.....

Bah. I saw him live once and he spent more time drinking than he did performing. Not exactly who i'd want to be.

Maybe that speech impediment keeps him humble...

That had to be a very long time ago. And if you met the guy you might think differently.

I was never a fan but you just don't meet people like him very often.

You could only wish you had an impediment like that......
