Some of you might have heard that Eddie Spaghetti, frontman of Seattle band the Supersuckers, was recently diagnosed with cancer and just underwent intensive surgery. I was reading the latest update from his wife on the donation site http://www.youcaring.com/eddie-spaghetti-373610/update/349464 and it looks like Ed had somewhat of a hand in Eddie's fight:

And I want to thank someone that changed the course of our lives for the better. Like, for real. Someone that is probably responsible for saving Eddie's life as much as his amazing doctors and for putting us on the path that we are on. Without this person giving us the tools and fighting for Eddie to be seen by the BEST surgeon for his particular disease... I just don't know where he would be, I'm not sure where I would be. I am not sure what situation we might have ended up in. Getting diagnosed with cancer is scary, navigating the system and finding the right medical care is, toe to toe, the worst part and I want to thank Ed Vedder for being the most amazing friend to us. We don't love him because he is a famous rock star (even though he is pretty damn charismatic on that stage), we don't just love him because he worked tirelessly for my family- I love and appreciate this man because he wouldn't stop until my husband was in the very best hands. He wasn't afraid to encourage us get right surgeon, he reminded Eddie that his voice was his craft, something my Eddie forgets. He took us under his wing, cared about our situation like it was his own. I'll never forget it. - Jessika Daly (Eddie's wife) and the Spaghetti family.
It was a nice reminder amongst all the PRAMG snark, there's plenty of evidence that Ed is still a good-intentioned dude.

That is cool. Still remember Eddie joining them in Thunder Bay for Poor Girl and I Believe in Miracles. I have also seen the Supersuckers open for White Zombie and recently for the Toadies. It's always a bonus when the opener is kick ass.
Thanks for sharing this. Stories like this make me proud to be a fan of the band. They seem like good dudes.
Yea but he probably did it while calling from his private jet on a private island meeting up with michael moore and other rich assholes because backspacer sucks target etc

In the mid aughts I saw a burlesque show that included Bernie Mac and John Cleese impersonators doing a show called Mac and Cleese, and it was the best work I have seen John Cleese do in decades.
