I had a chance to catch a sneak peak of Sean Penn’s soon to be released, “Into the Wild,” last Thursday.  The movie was brilliant, any Oscar buzz is spot on. Especially for Eddie Vedder.

For those who don’t know, Eddie Vedder wrote all of the songs on the soundtrack and had a hand in the score. My friend is a huge Eddie Vedder fan, so she wore her “I Love Eddie Vedder” t-shirt.  The girl who took our tickets did not know who Eddie Vedder was.

Is that possible?

Am I old, or do I just have an unrealistic view of the importance of the grunge music that I, and many of my generation, once held so dear? Freakin’ Eddie Vedder! He was in Singles! He hated MTV before it was cool to hate MTV!

This girl wasn’t even that much younger than me. Girls, especially, are SUPPOSED to know Eddie Vedder. He’s the cute one, right? That’s what all the girls used to tell me. They loved him, didn’t they? I thought… Never mind.

My world is now turned upside down.
