” (…) And then there’s a cynical fuckin’ media on top of that. Fuck that, fuck ‘em. All along the line, they question your fuckin’ honesty. No matter what you say, no matter what you do, they think it’s an angle. They think it’s all a fuckin’ game. Because that’s all they’re used to. That’s what they think it is, a fuckin’ game. They don’t know what’s real and what isn’t. And when someone comes along who’s trying to be real, they don’t know the fuckin’ difference. “So if you say, ‘No, I’m not playing your fuckin’ game. I want out… I’m not doing this, I’m not doing that…,’ they still think you’re part of it. They just can’t accept that you don’t want to be part of it, that you were never part of it. They just think it’s an angle. Some kind of fuckin’ angle. And that makes it so hard for somebody who’s just trying to be honest. So fuck it.”
Back at the Paramount, the interview is winding down when Steve Gullick turns up. He’s been told that he can only take pictures during the first number of Pearl Jam’s show, no flash, from an obscure vantage point on the far side of the stage.

“Fuck that,” Eddie says. “Take as many shots as you like, from where you like, for as long as you like and if anybody gives you any shit, tell ‘em to talk to me about it.” Steve asks if he can do a couple of shots in the dressing room. Eddie says sure and goes to fetch his guitar.

“Let’s go in here,” he says, walking into the shower stall and turning on the water. Then he borrows my lighter and starts burning the cork from the wine bottle we’ve just emptied and starts making up his face, drawing dark circles around his eyes, and a cross on his forehead. “This is going to make you look ever so weird,” Gullick tells him. “Let me be as weird as I fuckin’ like,” Eddie says. “It’s my fuckin’ life.”

Rest In Peace, whatever peace means to you.
If there’s life after death, I wish you the best one.
