I think Eddie Vedder and Jim Morrison have one thing not in common, Eddie Vedder has managed, so far, not to self-destruct.  Otherwise they have so much in common in as much as they were both extraordinarily talented poets, singers, and musicians.  But I give Eddie Vedder credit, it takes real guts to be all of that and not self-destruct.  When you share your inner self that way you also open up your inner self to everything around you and sometimes what is around you can destroy you if you’re not strong enough.
