Re: Rolling Stone/Eddie Vedder interview



Thank God for Eddie Vedder, and the fact that he's politically oriented.

He had written a piece called "A Different Bomb" on his website; I read it
last November. I was so upset by what he described: the access to child
pornography, what kind of images are there. The second I heard [of his
arrest], I knew what his stand was.

The hard thing was to see the press pin that scarlet letter on him:
"rock-star pedophile." So many of the benefits we have worked on together
had to do with children: orphanages in Chicago, teenage cancer units in
London. He doesn't just show up and play. He does research. To see that
turned around-it was sickening. Then he was let off with a caution. Someone
gave me a printed fax of it. I didn't read it in any paper.
