If you were looking forward to catching Eddie Vedder perform on his solo tour in the coming weeks -- as I was looking forward to at Jazz Fest -- you're going to have to wait a little longer, if you're lucky, as nerve damage resulting from a back injury has forced the Pearl Jam frontman to postpone or cancel some dates.

I probably should be writing about Stephen Colbert’s fantastic guest editorial in the South Carolina newspaper The State, but it’s the day before Christmas Eve/fourth night of Hanukkah/Eddie Vedder's birthday, and I don’t want to think about anything that matters.

Somewhere, Eddie Vedder and the other guys in Pearl Jam are smiling, as they've been FINALLY vindicated to some degree.

A lot of people may not remember this -- I myself, admittedly, had forgotten about it -- but Pearl Jam's Eddie Vedder and Nirvana's Kurt Cobain at one point didn't like each other and engaged in a bit of a public pissing match after both Seattle-area bands "made it.

Last summer, in the wake of the BP oil spill (LOL remember that youse guys.

So it's possible that you've heard something about this little Pearl Jam documentary coming out later this year, right.
