I caught Mr. Ose on MTV two weeks ago - he appeared on a segment of MTV
News with Eddie Vedder and Gloria Steinem.  They were covering the Pearl
Jam MOVE benefit in Charlotte, which went very well apparently.  Eric
looked like he felt really out of place, though.  If I remember correctly
they only included one or two sentences from him while devoting the rest
of the segment to drivel like:

(Real quotes:)
MTV:  "Eddie, where do you get your opinions on politics?"
Eddie:  "Uhhh, I just get on the phone and call Gloria, uhhh.."

That's intelligence, ladies and gentlemen.

It's kind of interesting to look back and see the comments to you from
the guy who just committed suicide Sunday night.  Rather ironic he told
you not to let the door hit you on the ass on the way out.  Some of us
just handle reality better than others, I guess.
