Eddie Vedder Fends Off Lawsuit, Covers Bruce Springsteen

Pearl Jam’s frontman keeps good company (Neil Young, Bruce Springsteen, Madonna’s new producer, et al.), but Canada’s Gordon Peterson, aka Indio, probably won’t be getting an invite to Eddie and thefuture Mrs. Vedder’s New Year’s bash this year, as the songwriter behind “Hard Sun” is claiming alleged altered “key lyrics” have “erod[ed] the integrity” of his song on the Into The Wild soundtrack.

Original song here, Vedder’s cover here, and lawsuit info thataway. Lawyers are on the case, of course, but that isn’t the only headline for the “Better Man” singer tonight… And the good news:

The Kennedy Center Honors aired tonight and from the few clips uploaded so far, Vedder’s cover of Bruce Springsteen’s “My City in Ruins” is stealing the Internet’s reaction to the concert thus far.

Watch The Boss loving this flawless version of his inspirational, post-9/11 jam here or below.
