You know, rock stardom… I have a hard time discussing that because I dont really accept it. Its not really that tangible. Whats really bizarre is how its used as a thing – you know, Hes the rock star of politics, Hes the rock star of quarterbacks – like its the greatest thing in the world. – Eddie Vedder
