What was special about that? Not trying to be a dick, but I didn't see anything profound.

There wasn't supposed to be anything "profound". That wasn't the point. You obviously missed it.

Hey, it's Eddie Veder being a smug, too cool for school spokesperson for the anti-establishment. Wow.

That it's not about winning a grammy, they couldn't care less about the grammy. They think the whole idea is a joke, which it is. It's about the music.

Nah. If they truly didn't give a shite they wouldn't have went to the Grammys. They were just trying to bolster their image of not giving a shite by acting all not give a shitty.

That's BS...If the whole thing is a joke, then why were they there? And it's not just because they wanted to see the show. It was all for show and a weak attempt at showing the anti establishment attitude. If that's truly how they feel, stay away like some artists have done in the past.

Don't get me wrong, I love me some Pearl Jam. It's a little pretentious of him to act like a dick for being recognized for their musical contributions.

Anti-establishment became the establishment for musicians. So they had to become anti-anti-establishment. Which is why the majority of rock bands are so affiliated with sell outs and establishment nowadays. That paradigm will flip again. And rock and roll will come back to life.

The Grammy's are a joke... That's what he's saying. Having a Grammy does not make you a better artist than an artist who does not have one.

This is a rock star. Too bad they muted the best part.
