Monday’s Hors d’Oeuvres: Vedder, Out
Eddie Vedder, Flea and Jack Irons have pulled out of this weekend’s Bridge School Benefit due to a personal family matter with one of the band members. Not to worry: My Morning Jacket has been added to a strong lineup that also includes Metallica, Neil Young and Tom Waits with the Kronos Quartet. So if you’re counting at home, MMJ has added the I’m Not There concert and the Bridge School Benefit since saying they were done for the year.

They may have been responding to this:
Was Phil’s second item of business as Mayor to declare every that every Trey-related show include a Shine?
Thanks for the Bill Maher clips. I always wanted to know what the hubbub was about.
Where can I cash in my winnings from the “Kid Rock will get into a fistfight in the middle of the night at a Waffle House two weeks after releasing a new album” bet I made this year?
