The fact ESPN has an "ESPN Music Director" pretty much says it all.

That's like the Wall Street Journal having a fishing editor.

"...labels turn out...we have the biggest eyeballs...a label and an artist...drop their record...perfect way to fuse the two."

Great quotes, Kevin. But next time, ask the audience what it wants. I bet they tell you that they want a FUCKING FOOTBALL GAME. And they don't like being referred to as "eyeballs," you arrogant, money-hungry douchebag.

Stay tuned, later I'll tell you how I really feel.

Yeah, I was going to mention something about the eyeballs thing too. Makes no sense really.

Eyeballs was my high school nickname, jerk.

what a surprise, Springsteen.

Allegedly black pxp man Mike Tirico is a big Springsteen fan (SHOCK~!) and TK has said for years he would give up his radio show to become Bruce's guitar catcher on tour.

Another reason to watch the baseball game tonight.

Jesus f'ing christ. Two words to ESPN Music Director Kevin Wilson:

Get FUCKED.

Actually, Kevin is doing a public service for me. MNF told me that there's a new Foo Fighters coming out. So now I have a new .torrent to look for.

And Kevin, tell this to your corporate music buddies, dickhead. I'll start buying albums again when they stop trying to sell me "greatest hits" albums full of songs I already own, just so that I can get the two new songs. And also when they stop trying to make me buy the same album for the FIFTH time, just because there's a new "Super Special Ultra Extra Deluxe Edition," complete with one new studio rehearsal demo version of a song.

And many of us thought in the 90s that Eddie Vedder was different. Eddie Vedder was a strange bird who had integrity.

So much for that. Maybe he'll get to be in the booth and defend the Seahawks uniforms.

ESPN, the music.

Isn't that the condemned-to-hell network that tried to shove Hootie and the Blowfish down our throats, like a Berman slider, every fucking second as some band that appeals to guys in dockers who go out on the weekends to play a game of flag football?

WANNA BE WITH YOOOUUAUAAAAUUOUUUU.

Is this corporate suckhole cocksucker who was responsible for that?

ESPN, the music, brought to you by BioDiesel shuttles and organically grown Sportscenters.

Eddie Vedder never had "integrity".

He was in it for the money.

"Oh, but he so totally wasn't like that."

Bullshit.

You don't put together a whole little marketing campaign as he did without being in it for the money.

If you asked him to take back the last 20 years of his career and change it so that he never sold a single record and was working as a busboy, or not working and a toothless bum, but still with "integrity" and a notebook full of shitty songs, you think he would take you up on it?

Not a chance.

Eddie Vedder was in charge of the biggest band in the country, and did everything he could to sabotage it. If he was "in it for the money," there would be about two dozen Pearl Jam studio albums and year after year of concert tours.

There are some musicians who play music because they like it. And they can live comfortably without becoming Justin Timberlake, and also selling their music to fast food companies.

If he only played music because he liked it, he would never have made any money, been on SNL, etc.

His whole anti-corporate rock attitude was complete bullshit.

Sorta like how Sting procalims his love for the fucking rainforest. Total, dishonest bullshit.

Or the Rage guys, putting out complete corporate rock while taking this pose as revolutionary Communists or some weird shit...

If he would just admit that he likes the money and all the trappings of success without guilt, I'd have more respect for him.

But the posturing is annoying...
