Exclusive!
An Afternoon with Eddie Vedder
(scroll down for the full audio interview)
Eddie is happier these days now that his man is in the White House. In fact, he proudly displays an Obama portrait at his home outside Seattle. He’s relaxed, rejuvenated and re-focussed, a far cry from the 90s dude who had a tough time dealing with the pressures and obligations that came with being one of the Holy Trinity of Grunge. Pearl Jam, are the sole survivors of that trinity.
Pearl Jam’s new album, Backspacer (named after a turtle, or vice-versa), will be out on September 20th. Ahead of that, the band went out to road test some of the new material.
Before a show in Toronto, I met up with Eddie backstage. And knowing that he’s is a big fan of wine, I brought a bottle of a fine Canadian syrah and a couple of glasses.

Nice job Alan. Not another same old bullshit interview with Eddie. It just felt like a cool conversation. I could tell that you could have picked his brain for hours. But at least you got 20 minutes right before he took the stage. Nice work
