MATT DRISCOLL: IS SICK OF THE BARACK BANDWAGON>>>

So, one of my favorite bands (well, almost) recently came out in favor of Barack Obama. Pearl Jam, minus one Eddie Vedder, has recorded a a version of the rock and roll classic "Rock Around the Clock," but cleverly changed to words to "Rock Around Barack." Is that witty or what? Check out some info on the song here. Listen to it here.

My guess is Eddie realizes the country needs more than inspiration right now. Pearl Jam, minus Eddie, just proved you don't have to be young to be hopelessly idealistic.
