“With” isn’t exactly accurate—local Johnny Cash-channeling singer/strummer Vince Mira is headlining a show at The Living Room in New York on September 14. Pearl Jam’s Stone Gossard, who recruited Mira to record on his upcoming Hank Williams tribute album, is opening for the teen sensation (and his backers, the Roy Kay Trio). The show, billed as “Walk the Line for HDSA,” is "in celebration of 72-year-old Don Stevenson [a former pastor from Auburn] for walking 13,000 miles to raise awareness and funds” for the Huntington’s Disease Society of America. Tickets range between $30 (standing room) and $250 (raffle entries and after-party). May we suggest the duo put on a sister show in Seattle? At the Triple Door, maybe? Just a thought.

Yeah Stone, you and Ed Vedder could take a lesson from Mike McCready and actually do some side project shit LOCALLY... Why does Seattle keep getting the shaft from Pearl Jam (except for Mike)? When was the last time they played a proper Seattle show? 2002? And even then they were benefit gigs with no fan club privileges... You gotta go back to 2000 I guess... :-(
Ahhh, that felt good... Just had to get that off my chest. I'll quit crying now...
