Okay. So, I am bored. BORED. And now, I want to torture you.
Because I'm bored. Is it fair? No, but it's life. Buck up. :)
Web excerpts having *something* to do with Ed and his Hair (I don't
make them up, I just copy and paste them):
(About Three Doors Down) This band isn't 3dd or 3d, it's 1/2d. I
would have given it a 1d for one dimensional, but they can't even
crawl that high. The only reason this band exists is because some
greedy record executive picked up an Eddie Vedder hair sample off his
chair and decided to give it to geneticists in order to manufacturer
clone variants like Matchboxtoomany, Crud, Bush, STP, WeedGarden,
Nickelback, Default, Theory of a Deadbeat, and 3 Dorks with Down so
they can give stupid people what they want: stupid "music".
Eddie drew admirers like flies...with a halo of sun-streaked brown
hair,
The bearded Vedder, with chin-length hair framing his still-boyish
face, launched into a tender version of "Soon Forget," from Pearl
Jam's latest album, "Binaural."
He's got neatly trimmed short hair and pale blue eyes, and he talks
quietly. Some of his political diatribes are delivered in a
conspiratorial "are you with the movement?" kind of whisper.
B.J. was taller than me and had that wavey Eddie Vedder hair that was
all the rave around that time, so I made the best of my trips to their
house by using him to improve my own popularity stock. Perhaps the
oncoming threat of puberty hurt my attempts, I can't say for sure, but
all I ever got out of the friendship was knowledge of skin-care cream
and the lyrics to every "Tracy Lawrence" song. "My little
TEEEEEEEEEEEEEExas Tor-NAYDOHO....blowin' me away a geeeen....."
"Guys as a whole have shorter hair, but if a man with hair 4 feet long
walks in, it would be absurd for the barber to assume he wants a
buzzcut." That actually happened to me recently. I had 2 ft. of thick
curly hair. It looked like Eddie Vedder's hair. Now I have a mini-fro.
There was just something about Ben that I couldn't get over. Was it
his messy tangly Eddie Vedder hair that was wet from the rain or was
it his muscles that were exposed out of his soaking shirt? I have no
idea but it got to me, it got to me good.
mailing list:Programs that can send e-mail to many people at once,
usually focused on a single topic. Once you subscribe to a mailing
list on, say, Pearl Jam, your mailbox will be filled with messages
from around the world focusing on Eddie Vedder's hair and Stone
Gossard's chord changes.
Last week I saw the taped ceremony on VH1; I think it goes without
saying that it was heartbreaking to see them standing there without
Joey but I had to say it anyway. And I'm not even gonna mention the
whole Green Day thing OR Eddie Vedder's hair because then we'll never
get to the book review.
I haven't the foggiest idea what Eddie Vedder's hair looks like. Or my
own for that matter... I'm chiefly concerned with keeping it out of
the turkey. Who is named George W. Third turkey in a row that my
family's had named after him. No wait... one of them was named Dick
Cheney, I forgot.
And of course, Eddie Vedder, hair cropped short, beginning to show his
age on his face, but possessor still and always of the Voice of His
Generation.
I must of been locked in a cupboard for awhile or something i haddnt
heard about the new pearly song an i was watching rage lastnight and i
saw it, ..not sure how good the song was i was too shocked at vedder's
hair!! what the hell did he do
Onstage, Vedder's early dramatic training came in handy. Constantly
fingering his long mane of hair, grimacing, pounding his mike stand
against the floor, Vedder brought all his theatrical know-how to bear.
"Eddie's always been a great performer," says his San Diego friend
Mike Aitken, whose parents where Vedder's landlords for four and a
half years.
eitan: um. ok. so...what are you into? i saw you have a guitar with
you guys....
hitchhiker2: i really like....like...janes addiction.
me: GRUNGE!!!!!!
hitchhiker1: i just cut off my eddie vedder hair...
me: ummmmmm. cool.
EXTENDED SILENCE >>>>>>>>
The authors, whose Web site, www.mulletgods.com, should be up and
running soon, denied they are mocking a style worn by millions of men
who cannot quite give up the long hair of their youth -- even after
Pearl Jam singer Eddie Vedder once famously demulletized a fan on
stage with a pair of scissors.
"We don't hate it; it's just that it is treated with derision instead
of quiet reverence," said Hoskyns, 40, who has never had one.
"I am not worthy of the mullet. It is something you must earn and
cannot just grow willy-nilly. It takes a lot to sport a hairstyle that
attracts scorn and abuse. In this world of narrow taste and fashion,
the mullet is a splendid statement."
And this I applaud Place/Date for its work. And how many times the
band members change their hairstyle, their musical style, Place/Date
remains as one proof that Pearl Jam is band and not a one-man show.
In November 2001, as a "small political protest" against the bombing
of Afghanistan, Pearl Jam frontman Eddie Vedder got a mohawk. "I
didn't want to walk around looking normal," he explained, "like maybe
someone thought I was OK with the world."
Vedder's new do brought some unintended consequences. "A day or two
after I'd got my hair cut, I was out trying to find a gift for
someone," he recalled, "and I was accused of shoplifting, of stealing
some earrings! It was definitely the hair..."
Pearl Jam front man Eddie Vedder says he shaved his shaggy locks into
a hawk as a reaction to the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. Then, he found
that he liked the look, despite the fact that his punk style got him
wrongly accused of shoplifting.
I agree, Ed's new approach is as different as his hairstyle. He seems
much more conservative now than he did with those long locks and
seemingly infinite vocal range that he belted out not so long ago.
Some days ago Spin-magazine named the 50 greatest bands. The criteria
for the 50 greatest were that "these groups had to have a
roof-raising, history-changing sound, presence or hairstyle."
Damn straight. --Jett
