music still rocks though<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Yeah, that about sums it up for me.
And, I'll admit that Billy can be a douche, but his music still kicks ass. Vedder, on the other hand has been known to be a decent human being, but I just never got into PJ. His solo stuff is pretty good though.

A couple things. First, Ed is not a fair weather Cubs fan. He's been wearing Cubs hats at shows since they started, started singing the 7th inning stretch in '98 and has made no mistake about it. He grew up in Evanston. As for "all the way" Ed wrote it because Ernie Banks asked him to write a song about the Cubs/Wrigley at Randy Hundley's fantasy camp. He played it in '07 at the Vic, and at those shows last year. The idea that he was trying to capitalize on it monetarily is a pretty silly.
