As a die hard Pearl Jam fan I had to blog about this. This week Eddie Vedder released the single “All The Way,” a tribute to the Chicago Cubs. While baseball is probably my least favorite sport (although I would rank it ahead of hockey), I do hold a special place in my heart for those lovable losers the Chicago Cubs. Plus, how can you not love the nostalgia of Wrigley Field? I’ve been lucky enough to attend a few Cubs home games over the years, and there really is no better place to catch an afternoon baseball game.
According to Pearl Jam.com, “Eddie threw together a song for the Cubs (“All the Way”) at the request of Ernie Banks.” (link) How cool is that? It was recorded live at the Auditorium Theatre in Chicago this past August and is now getting heavy rotation on local Chicago radio stations. Thankfully, Pearl Jam has decided to make the song available for download at their online store for 99 cents. So, whether you’re a PJ fan or a Cubs fan head over to Pearl Jam.com and pick up Eddie’s latest single “All The Way,” a tribute to the Chicago Cubs.
Pearl Jam.com is also teasing that EV might be making some hard copy CDs and souvenir 45 singles of the song as well, so if you might be interested in picking up one of these keepsake collectibles keep checking back at Pearl Jam.com for all the latest info.
