Got a chance to see the HDSA benefit last night where Brad played...Great night, here's the review:

Was a great night...Tim Robbins started the night off with some general remarks, and continued as MC throughout the night, filling the time between equipment changes with readings of Woody Guthrie's writingsHis son's band, The Tangents, played next, and they were pretty solid for 4 teenagers...Played a Guthrie song (California Stars from Mermaid Ave #1), and then a couple of originals...Their guitar player ripped a couple of nice solos, and the whole band had a good vibe going...Tim grabbed a guitar next and played (with a buddy of his) 4 songs or so...He played Here's to the State of George W, a song he wrote for Susan Sarandon, and then two Guthrie tunes...One was Jesus Christ for President, and the second was an awesome version of Deportee, with the full Brad band and Steve Earle's wife Allison Moorer singing the chorus..It's a great song, The Byrds do a great version of it from Ballad of Easy Rider...Brad played next, and Stone began by thanking everyone for coming out...His wife is really involved with the HDSA (the evening's charity) as she has some terrible family history with the debilitating disease...Stone then took lead vocals on Guthrie's "Roll On Columbia"...Brad followed that with 4 or 5 originals, a couple from their new unreleased album and a couple of older tunes that I can't, for the life of me, remember right now...They sounded excellent, Stone was doing his usual Stone moves, and they all looked to really be enjoying themselves...Steve Earle played next, and he lived up to the spirit of Guthrie, playing his great brand of populist country-folk...Played "#### the FCC," and "Christmas in Washington," with it's very appropriate chorus request of "Come Back Woody Guthrie, Come Back to us Now"...Also played a couple from his new album...Then came Billy Bragg, who is hands down one of my favorite artists....He's also great live, with a natural gift for storytelling, not just in his songs, but in his between song banter...He played a bunch of the Mermaid Avenue songs, gave them context with Woody's life and detailed his experiences taking these lost manuscripts and turning them into full songs...Highlights were "Another Man's Done Gone," "Black Wind Blowing" and the hilarious "Ingrid Bergman," in which Bragg drew out every double entendre: "This old mountain it's been waiting/All its life for you to work it/For your hand to touch its hardrock,/Ingrid Bergman, Ingrid Bergman"Bragg was awesome, if you ever get the chance to see him live, do so...By this point it had been a decently long night, and the crowd energy had begun to wane...There was also a consistent din from the VIP section all night, as many of them were apparently more content to talk to one another than to listen to the music (Tim Robbins earned one of the loudest cheers of the night by finally asking them to shut up and listen to the music)...At that point Tom Morello (of RATM and Audioslave) came out and whipped everyone back up to a frenzy...He is a really charismatic stage presence, powerful and personable...He launched into his "Union Song," from his Nightwatchman solo album, which obvioulsy also fit in thematically with the whole evening...Got the crowd energized and clapping, fist pumping in the air, etc...He then brought all of the evening's performers out for a virtuoso closing of "This Land is Your Land", explaining that it was Guthrie's response to Irving Berlin's "God Bless America," which Woody felt was overly syruppy and falsely patriotic...SO he wrote TLIYL as a populist anthem about America...Everyone was having a ball, trading verses, playing solos, etc...Morello then said they were going to play the final verse, a verse you rarely heard because it was considered too subversive...At the end of that verse, he told us he wanted the crowd to sing the final chorus as loud as possible, and to jump up and down and bring the house down...So he tore into the final verse: "In the squares of the city - In the shadow of the steeple/Near the relief office - I see my people/And some are grumblin' and some are wonderin'/If this land's still made for you and me."...And at that point the house lights came on, and the performers and the crowd did indeed sing the final chorus together, in fine strong voice, and sang it again, and again...And jumped up and down and sang it again...It was an amazing, cathartic end to what was a very special evening...

Looks like Ed (with Flea and Jack Irons) will be at Bridge School

Does two acoustic gigs in our hometown mean that we're sick of the studio again? Nah . . . not really . . . but we are honored that we have been invited to appear at the annual Bridge School Benefit concerts. Held on October 27 and 28, 2007 at Shoreline Ampitheatre in Mountain View, CA, this will be our second time participating in the all acoustic shows, and the 21st year that the benefit has been held in the Bay Area.

As usual, the line-up is stellar and we're looking forward to seeing Tom Waits, Eddie Vedder (with Flea & Jack Irons), John Mayer, of course Neil Young, and others perform those days. Tickets are on sale this Sunday, September 9, 2007 at 10:00 AM and for more details, please see the official press release below.

Started by Neil and Peggy Young, the Bridge School is a non-profit organization assisting individuals with severe speech and physical impairments achieve full participation in their communities and is an internationally recognized leader in the education of children who use augmentative and alternative communication. The annual benefit concerts provide the majority of the funding for the school's operation. For more information, check out http://www.bridgeschool.org/

There will be a special ticket pre-sale for Fan Club members only on Saturday, September 8 at 10:00 AM PST. The Club has held a very limited number of tickets that will be available in the 200 section of Shoreline Ampitheatre (map here). The Bridge School organizers hold the 100 section seats, and if you are interested in lawn tickets, please go to the general public on-sale on Sunday, September 9 at 10:00 AM PST.

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY: In order to purchase Met Club pre-sale tickets through Ticketmaster you will need a password. That password will be posted on the Met Club tour page just before the pre-sale begins, so you will need to obtain it there first. We'll give you a link directly to the pre-sale in the tickets section of the MetClub tour page, where you will enter the password and proceed with your purchase.

We're looking forward to seeing some of you Clubbers out at Shoreline in October!

P.S. - There is no meet and greet scheduled at this time.

I hit the Bridge School Benefit almost every year. It doesn't matter who's playing, that is just a great two days of music. Great vibe, great cause, great city nearby, diverse mix of music, and even the people are cool...everything about it. Probably the best two days of music in America. Highly recommend it to anyone. make a trip of it some time, and you will return. yes.gif I can't believe more people don't know about it (aside from those in Norcal). That said, not sure I'll be able to make it this year. The lineup doesn't inspire me personally (although it'd still be a blast), especially Metallica. Just never could get into them.And yeah, noticed the music tonight on MNF. :no:

Brad's first album was excellent

The other two were hit or miss. "The Day Brings" has become a bit of an adult contemporary classic, that's the kind of song you're pleased to hear in a waiting room.

Shawn Smith's voice is smoov as silk, but hit or miss pretty much defines his life's work. Dude is all over the map. His biggest hit is probably "Battleflag" - Lo-Fidelity All-Stars' remix of a song by one of his umpteen side projects, Pigeonhed. He's done a lot of work with my favorite mancrush Greg Dulli as well, and was one of the original Twilight Singers when they really were SingerS.

It was at Univ of Montana...Jeff grew up in Montana and briefly attended the school...It was a Master's class in Entertainment Business, and he was the surprise guest speaker...

Funny thread over at the message pit about it, where the guy who was in the class posted the info, got flamed for making stuff up, and then people figured out which class it was, and called and emailed the professor to confirm the fact that Ament spoke...

:thumbup:

They ####### called the professor....

pretty sure that they need your address because Pearl Jam is going to come and play at every 10C member's house!

Here's the follow up post
Most people just look me over and say "Nice Horns..." like they don't even notice the rest of the costume! I DO NOT dress in cargo shorts, freaky ### leggings, hiking boots with the logger socks, blah t-shirt, and flannel, with ultra messy hair - AND a black eye and bandaid on my face - normally. I certainly don't wear it to work...I have since added a Starbucks cup to the costume...you know, Seattle?

Don't think I saw this posted. Billboard QA w/ Ed.

Sean Penn has wanted to make a movie based on Jon Krakauer's 1996 book "Into the Wild" since the moment he finished reading it. The true story of Christopher McCandless, a recent college graduate who in 1990 cut ties with his family and embarked on a two-year odyssey that ended tragically in the Alaskan wilderness, struck a major chord with the actor/director.

And while it took him years to convince McCandless' parents and sister to give their blessing to the project, it took only a matter of hours for him to secure longtime friend/Pearl Jam frontman Eddie Vedder to write new original material for the movie's soundtrack. On it, Vedder plays nearly all the instruments and explores more of an acoustic, stripped-down musical approach than normally heard on Pearl Jam albums.

With "Into the Wild" garnering strong reviews and whispers of Academy Award nominations, Vedder talked at length with Billboard about his creative partnership with Penn. The pair will expand on the subject during a keynote interview Nov. 1 in Los Angeles as part of the Hollywood Reporter/Billboard Film & TV Conference.

Sean says he tracked you down in Hawaii. Is it fair to say that's one of the only calls you would take in the midst of a vacation?

Well, at least I'd wait a week before I'd call them back. But I think I called him back within an hour or a half-hour. You never know what it's about with Sean. I had no idea the scope of this thing. It remained that way. It was never really a big project until seeing the film in New York for the first time a few weeks ago. I didn't really grasp what an epic story it was. Participating on a music level, it's very simple compared to what Sean's challenges were. What he had to do was kind of make six records in such a way that you could play them on all on different turntables at the same time, and all that music would fit together. It's like 3-D chess, two games at a time. In that analogy, I feel like I was an important pawn (laughs). I was more like a rook or a queen. He let me choose directions. He let me go at it in a very uninhibited fashion. It just so happened that most everything found a place.

He said he wanted you to be in a movie, and you turned him down by sending him a song with the explanation as to why?

Yeah. It was called "I Can't." He had asked me and I said yeah, because he can be very convincing. If he thinks you can do something, you start to agree with him. Then I came to my senses. For one thing, it was a great opportunity and I would probably do it just to spend time with Sean. But if you get past that, I always felt like a lot of people watching would be thinking, "Wow, this guy took the job of a working actor" (laughs). Why does he need another job? He's already got a good occupation. That came into play a little bit. I didn't want to disappoint him then, and was happy to get another shot. It was good to have another opportunity to make up for that one when I felt like I disappointed him a bit. I'm glad I got a shot to redeem myself, in an arena that is more, this is what I do. I don't do that other thing, and I've just never been driven in that kind of way.

So, you get the book and immerse yourself in it. How quickly do you start thinking about music?

I read the book and within a couple of days, he showed me the film here at the house in Seattle. In the book, what I knew immediately was, I had some insight beyond the pages of what might explain the extreme actions and reactions of Chris McCandless. We had similar upbringings and similar events in our lives. We were both young white male Americans. But I didn't have to burn my money to end up with nothing (laughs). He took a bigger leap there. I was already off the cliff. So, I understood that much. When he showed me the film, I could see the landscapes and I could hear music in my head. But to be honest, most of it was similar to the music he had in there. Michael Brook made great choices with the way he orchestrated the score. Without even really thinking about it, I saw the film the one time and our pieces of music meshed together pretty well for not having approached it in a way of, let's make sure these puzzle pieces fit. They just did, you know?

Sean said once you finished watching the movie, you told him, "It's on." True?

Yeah! The film ended and we shared a moment of silence, because it was heavy. I think I just asked him, as I'm reaching over to light a cigarette, "What do you want?" And he said, "Whatever you feel. It could be a song, it could be two, it could be the whole thing." So I went in for three days, starting the next day, and gave him a palette of stuff to work with. And then he started choosing. Immediately he had a few things he put in. I wasn't expecting that. After that, then it was really on. What I gathered was, the songs could now become another tool in the storytelling, especially when you have shots of the young man solitary. In a way, it's offering a window into what he's going through intellectually and emotionally without having to have him talk to himself (laughs).

Can you describe your writing/recording setup once things got rolling?

I went in to a room in Seattle we work in. I worked with the guys we do the band music with. In essence, they became the band. Not as far as playing any instruments, but being sounding boards for what was taking place and what was being created. You're playing the music by yourself, but you end up in a band with the guys pushing the buttons and sorting out the guitars and amps. Also Sean is in the band and Chris McCandless is in the band. The film becomes the record. In a way, I wasn't in the band (laughs). It was like being a songwriter for a band -- serving the voice of Chris McCandless. Not my voice, or something I wanted to say. In almost every aspect of this process, it simplified things. There were fewer choices. The story was there and the scenes were there.

If there was anything that I learned with my own writing process, maybe there's too many choices what to write about. Just the amount of subject matter in the world these days; maybe that feels chaotic for me. This took away all the choices. There was a point A and a point B and I found it pretty easy to get there without hitting all the other points in between, which I seem to do when we make our records. When you do that, you feel like, okay, this is a galvanized piece of work because we've done this song every which way it can go and here's the best way. I don't think it has to be that way. You can just go right to it.

One thing I found with this was, we'd go in and start the day knowing we had a few duties to fulfill. Something would start coming together and I'd realize, that's not what we want here. But I'd just go ahead and finish it and make something out of it. It's a song. Why force that song into being something else? Since it was just happening, just go with that. We were moving so quick. If at noon you sit down and there's just silence or blank tape, in an hour if you have a song, that didn't exist an hour ago. Now it exists and it might exist for a long time. There's something empowering about that. It makes you feel like you're contributing as a human being -- adding some kind of beauty or emotion to the planet, whether anyone hears it or not. Then you feel like maybe you can even do something better.

Were you consciously trying to put yourself in Chris' head or was the narration more omniscient?

It was startling how easy it was for me to get into his head. I found it to be uncomfortable how easy it was, because I thought I'd grown up (laughs). I think all this stuff was right under the surface for me, barely. Because of that, lyrics and words and even chord changes were coming quick. It was like being asked to do something you did every day for a decade -- you just hadn't done it for 20 years. You go to do it again and it's just all right there. It never left.

What are your thoughts on the perception of the character? Some people have come down hard on McCandless for never contacting his family during his trip.

I think Sean and Jon Krakuer were successful in presenting the truth. There are elements of it that weren't pretty. If the kid makes it back, I'm sure he would have shared his story with his family and I'm sure he would have reconnected. I shouldn't say sure, but you can imagine him reconnecting, certainly with his sister. As he matured, I think he'd start to forgive, if for no other reason than for the sake of progressing. At some point, you see that there's a real powerful, positive energy from forgiveness.

Some of his actions were really bold. To part with his money ... to do what he did without money to fund his trip and make it comfortable, without taking classes or waiting for permits to go down rivers or to hike trails, or the fact that he didn't take a map, were choices he made in order to get to the truth of the matter, whatever that matter was to him. The truth of his existence, or a human's existence on this planet. A lot of people aren't going to understand that, and that's their prerogative. I actually respect those decisions. I'm going to respect anyone's choices if they want to live this life to get ultimate value out of it. I think one of the reasons a lot of people are uncomfortable with this idea is that maybe they haven't done it themselves.

In regards to people having opinions, when we say things at shows, sometimes people don't like, I hear, us mentioning that we are at war. Even if we bring out a veteran and introduce them to somebody who has been involved. Some people feel that this is time when we could be playing a B-side or something. To me, this is equivalent to somebody sitting in the back seat of a car, and the car is hitting people and killing them, and they're asking for the heat to be turned up or the air-conditioning to be turned down -- something in regards to their comfort level.

Right now, if people have something to say about the issue, then I'm all for it, whatever it is. If their comment or critique is, they don't want to hear the conversation, I have no patience for that whatsoever. I think that's anti-patriotic. That's one of the reasons we got into this mess -- people shirking their duties as Americans to have an opinion and to lead our leaders. So when I hear about people talking about McCandless doing this or doing that, I'd have to know what they've been through to even know whether I can put any stock in their critique.

Basically, Sean said the only people he'd listen to in this regard are Chris' parents and sister.

I defer to them as well. I thought about them a lot. There's a line in "Guaranteed" that says, "Don't come closer or I'll have to go/Owning me like gravity are places that pull/If ever there was someone to keep me at home/It would be you." That line is for [McCandless' sister, Carine].

Once you get inspired and start cranking out material so fast, is it hard to turn that faucet off? Was there a void left?

Well, no, because then we started living it. We went down to the Grand Canyon and I almost made it to Alaska. I started making choices in my own life. I started living outdoors this summer. It was using that inspiration to do things in my life. When I was working, I was inspired to make the music. That's what I was requested to do. After that, I took the inspiration and put it into my real life and my family life. We spent the summer outdoors. We did some camping. I felt like a real human being.

I've been real fortunate. Music afforded me and the other guys in the group to do things in our lives that got us close to nature, whether it's (Pearl Jam bassist) Jeff (Ament) and his relationship with mountains and snow, or my relationship with oceans and waves. My surfing got blockaded as a young adult when I had to start working (laughs) ... the drugstore jobs, et cetera. In about 1993 or 1994, I realized I'd been afforded the opportunity to get back to the ocean, and that really has been what fueled 80% of my creativity and 95% of my sanity. You know, this project comes out of the blue from a phone call from a friend. In the end, it's a collection of songs that becomes a limb of this body which is the film. To have been involved with something like this on a creative level, it's such a healthy, soul-serving exercise. I'm just a better person from it, if for nothing else than the act of being creative.

If people took the initiative to just create -- write or paint or make music or sing -- on a regular basis, I just think it's such a healthy thing. To do it as a family or do it with friends, it's just so healthy. We don't have the arts programs in the schools anymore. They were the first to go. The only thing I'm guessing at for why this isn't taking place is the amount of people who are watching things like "American Idol" or trash TV. At the end of the day, people come home and want to be brain dead. They're too exhausted from trying to keep up with their kids that they anesthetize themselves. It's like needing food and eating junk food.

One could say that's precisely what fueled what McCandless did -- the fear he would be slipping into that same lifestyle.

Yeah, or the so-called American dream that ends him up clean-cut in a pickup bar with an expense account and a job that might be a 40-year sentence. A 30-year mortgage and a 40-year sentence.

It's cool that in tandem with your stuff, there is the new Pearl Jam DVD. You get a nice glimpse of the band as people as opposed to just straight-up performance footage.

It has a lot to do with the guy who made the film, Danny Clinch. We can forget that he's there. I think the best part of the film to me is the people of Italy. They were a great representation of the people that come see us in general, wherever it is. To me they're like a character in the film, and incredibly well-cast (laughs).

That old guy in the church is classic, when you and Boom go to look at the organ.

Well, it's incredible. It's like throwing a dart at a spinning planet and ending up in this ancient church with ancient organs. One was from 1775, I believe. And he knows Tacoma, which is 20 miles of south of me (laughs). They're very famous for organs. I had no idea. I think he'd been one place in the United States and it turned out it was 20 miles south of me. That's the best part of touring, in a way. Half the time you're too worn down to walk the streets on your time off, but magical things happen on tour.

There's reasons why guys tour and some of it is paying the bills, but you have such an incredible opportunity to interact with the rest of the world. Outside of going on a search for waves, I don't think I've ever gone anywhere without having the excuse of playing. I've never gone to Europe just to go. It's like an addiction. Why would I go if I don't have the opportunity to address 20,000 people in their city (laughs)? I think that might be a problem I should think about. There's other ways of doing it.

Well, speaking of that very thing, we have an important election coming up. Have you guys started to think about how you might add your voice or presence to what will be going on then?

If democracy was a big bus, and you're on board, and you think you have an idea where it should be going, you should combine your voices in the back to tell the driver. At some point, you might have to get your foot on the brakes and take over the wheel. We're talking about hiring a new bus driver. I can't imagine being inactive. But I think everybody should, in whatever ways they can. If we want to protect our Constitution our country as an ideal still have meaning, we're going to have to participate.

Going back to your question, Sean asked me to do this deal and then I came to my senses and said, "I don't think I can do it." But he would write me. Every time, I'd say, "I hate to do this but I just can't. Somebody will do it better." He'd say, "You can, and you will and I'll get you through the big waves." The reason why there was a song is that he just wouldn't take no for an answer. The only thing I wanted to add to the beginning of that answer was that it was an aggressive song (laughs).

Like, "Lukin" aggressive?

Exactly! Kind of L.A. punk scene aggressive, like, "I Can't!" It took that to finally get through to him. In a way, looking back, Sean saw that if I really need to make a point, given certain subject matter, I could do it. That's probably what got me this job (laughs). One last thing I'll say, because I don't think I'm going to do any more interviews about this. The combination of Sean and the story, meaning McCandless himself and the work Jon Krakuer did, and also the performances in the film, the amount of respect I had for those entities was so huge. I'm ready for a break, but I have to say, this offered me an opportunity to get deeper into writing than maybe I had in a while. It was just the most welcome set of demands I've come across in a long time. It ended up to be a great exercise in writing. Our band is going to be better for it and from it, which I'm pretty excited about.

What a great, unexpected result.

We've been doing what we've been doing for a long time. To go outside of those parameters, it's a whole different terrain. It's been such a cool experience. It was interesting. I went to hang out with Sean at the "Charlie Rose" show, and I wound up sitting at the table, which was unexpected. It came on the other night and I was sitting on the floor with a beer and a smoke and it was late. I thought I'd catch it. I'm sitting there watching it and I realized it was the exact place I was sitting on the floor with Sean when we watched the movie.

It really didn't feel like much time had passed. It was interesting to go from sitting on the floor with an ashtray and a six-pack a few months ago to watching us talk about a finished product (laughs) on the TV. It book-ended the whole odyssey. It made it real, in a way. I had to see it on a screen to make it real. I don't remember much of the process because it went real quick and it was real unconscious. I almost don't remember anything of the time of making it. It was a weird way to be notified that it had actually taken place.

:mellow: I like the soundtrack quite a bit.

So the show you're talking about? I was there. And damnit, can't recall much. I'm sure if I give it a listen, some will come back to me -- something the bootlegs are invaluable for, by the way. All of which reminds me, I know people jot down memories from concerts (something I've never done) and I now realize what a great idea that is -- so simple to do as well. Man, do I wish I'd done that. To be able to pull a bunch of lost memories out and go through it all would be sweet.

 
I know there's been a little talk in here regarding the various side projects, Brad mostly. I've never gotten into them all too much, but I have been listening to some Mad Season lately. Got a concert from the 90's on my ipod, etc. Mike is especially PJ-like on his Wake Up solo (it reminds me of his Little Wing/Maggot Brain gem, although much shorter).

Which projects are the best/are your favorites/recommend (including Brad/Mad Season)?

Is there anything else outside of Brad/Mad Season worth a spot in the collection?

http://www.pearljam.com/press/

Pearl Jam’s Eddie Vedder Releases First Solo Music Video for the

Multi-Nominated Song “Guaranteed” Inspired by Sean Penn’s

Critically Acclaimed Motion Picture Into the Wild

World Premiere of “Guaranteed” Video Airs January 7th

on VH1 and VH1.com

HOLLYWOOD, Calif. (January 2, 2008) – Singer/songwriter Eddie Vedder appears for the first time

as a solo artist in a music video for the Critics’ Choice-, Golden Globe- and Grammy-nominated

song “Guaranteed” from the Sean Penn-directed motion picture Into the Wild.

The video, directed by critically acclaimed writer/director Marc Rocco (Murder in the First and

Where the Day Takes You) premieres January 7th at 6:00 a.m. EST on VH1 and VH1.com. Video

repeats will air throughout the morning hours and online leading up to VH1’s live telecast of the 13th

Annual Critics’ Choice Awards at 9:00 p.m. EST. The full Into the Wild soundtrack is currently

available from Monkeywrench/J Records.

“Guaranteed” is an acoustic song inspired by the true story of Christopher McCandless, who, in 1990

at the age of 22, left behind a life of comfort to test himself against the wilds of nature. The song was

written and performed by Vedder for the soundtrack of the Paramount Vantage release Into the Wild,

which features nine original tracks and two cover songs by Vedder. To date, the soundtrack has been

nominated for numerous awards, including a Critics’ Choice nomination for “Guaranteed” for

Best Song; two Golden Globe nominations, one for “Guaranteed” for Best Original Song, and

one for Best Original Score (by Michael Brook with Kaki King and Eddie Vedder); and a

Grammy nomination for “Guaranteed” for Best Song Written for a Motion Picture, Television

Or Other Visual Media. In addition to the film’s numerous nominations and accolades for song and

score, Into the Wild has emerged as an awards season contender, having been nominated for four

Screen Actors Guild Awards (the most of any film), seven Critics’ Choice Awards (the most of any

film), and winning the Gotham Award for Best Picture of the Year. The film has been hailed by

critics across the country and appears on over 65 top ten lists.

Feature film writer/director Marc Rocco conceived, produced and directed the video for

“Guaranteed” in just a few days – and shot the project entirely on 35mm film in three hours – as a

way for the typically video-shy Vedder to pay tribute to Sean Penn’s film and Christopher

McCandless’s journey. The video weaves a series of floating, translit images from Into the Wild with

striking silhouettes of Vedder to capture Vedder’s intimate and poetic performance in a simple yet

powerful way.

“To me, Eddie is the most compelling musical artist of our generation,” explains Rocco. “His

songwriting pounds you on a visceral level and his storytelling always stands apart in the same way a

great film does – each time you hear his words, they engender a different experience in your heart,

soul and mind. Listening to Eddie is the same experience for me musically that watching a Scorsese

or Truffaut film is visually. It has been a privilege and honor to collaborate with Eddie in a medium

that he so rarely visits. I hope that I've portrayed visually the song ‘Guaranteed’ in a way that leaves

the viewer as emotionally moved as I was the first time I heard Eddie's music for Into the Wild.”

Sean Penn’s screenplay for Into the Wild was written to include song accompaniment almost as an

additional character in the movie. “I had structured my screenplay to be dependent on song

accompaniment for both visceral and storytelling components," says Penn. "It was during the

shooting of the film that Eddie Vedder’s voice as singer and songwriter came to mind as the right

voice for this movie."

About Into the Wild

Freshly graduated from college with a promising future, 22-year-old Christopher McCandless

(EMILE HIRSCH) instead walked out of his privileged life and into the wild in search of adventure.

What happened to him on the way transformed this young wanderer into an enduring symbol for

countless people. Was Christopher McCandless a heroic adventurer or a naïve idealist, a rebellious

1990s Thoreau or another lost American son, a fearless risk-taker or a tragic figure who wrestled

with the precarious balance between man and nature? Each strand of his journey is woven into Sean

Penn’s screen adaptation of Jon Krakauer’s acclaimed bestseller, Into the Wild, which is as much

about the insatiable yearning for family, home and connection as it is the search for truth and

happiness.

I got the book of posters for Xmas, and this is probably the best thing that the 10 club as ever put out. It's a hardbound book and each page has different comments from the band and artists about the posters.

Definitely recommend to any fan :confused:
