Eddie Vedder Raises Awareness for Rare Disease in New Docu Clip
Eddie Vedder and his wife Jill share why they've become so heavily involved in the Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB) community in an exclusive clip from Matter of Time, a new documentary about the Pearl Jam singer and his efforts to raise money and awareness for those suffering from the rare genetic disease. In the clip, Jill Vedder reveals that she first learned about EB when the child of one of their friends was diagnosed with the disease. 'We were just like, 'This is the most crazy, brutal, intense thing I've ever seen,' and what can we do?' she says. More from Rolling Stone MTV's the State Look Back on Early Years in New Documentary: 'It Was Intense in Every Way' New Doc Explores How Julia Sweeney's 'SNL' Favorite Pat Became a Complex Nonbinary Icon USC's SoCal VoCals Are Pitch Perfect in 'Just Sing' Documentary Trailer ''Okay, maybe we can talk about this, and just start small and see what happens.' I see people on the street or when I go to shows when they're playing and there's always an awesome Pearl Jam fan that will come up to me and say, 'My god, I love what you guys are doing for the kids with EB.'' Matter of Time, which is premiering at the Tribeca Film Festival, is set against the backdrop of Vedder's Seattle benefit show in 2023 to raise funds for the disease, and features personal stories from parents and young patients impacted by the disease. 'The closer you get to this community and the more you understand it, you cannot escape how difficult the challenges are for these families,' Eddie Vedder says in the clip. 'We've had to clear some hurdles already that are examples of why you can have faith and why you can have hope, but the tricky part is patience.' Eddie continued, 'If raising funds and raising awareness, if those things are able to fuel the process, and the scientific end of finding a cure and how to apply it. It feels like just a matter of time.' (The film shares its title with Vedder's 2020 song of the same name, a track he wrote in tribute to 'everyone worldwide afflicted with EB.') In addition to Vedder's music, Matter of Time — directed by Matt Finlin and executive produced by Jill Vedder — also features an original score by Broken Social Scene. 'Eddie's presence is in every frame, whether he's physically there or not. His leadership, his love for Jill and their dedication to the EB community, his relentless belief that this can be cured — it shaped the spirit of this film,' Finlin tells Rolling Stone. 'He doesn't just fundraise; he instills purpose. He makes the world stop and listen, then act. I think the real measure of Eddie's influence isn't just what you see onscreen, it's in what you feel after watching it: that we're all part of this, that we must be part of this. 'This is a story of rare disease, but even more so, it's a story of rare community,' Finlin adds. 'A group of people who've decided that this isn't just about surviving — it's about treatments, it's about curing. It's about taking big swings. And they've backed that hope with action. Michael Hund, the CEO of EB Research Partnership has a great quote in the film: 'All of us in this community that have the profound honor of serving those that battle EB, our duty is to give them something to march to, that illuminates an end game.' Matter of Time is a love letter to that fight.' As for Broken Social Scene's score, Finlin said of working with the band's frontman Kevin Drew, 'When I told him about the film, he simply asked the band, 'Are you in?' And they were. They gave their time, their talent, and created something truly special. Their music sits alongside Eddie's performances in a way that feels seamless. The emotional current they bring to the film is something I'm deeply proud of. Honestly, I'd love to hear more of it.' Matter of Time will premiere Thursday at the Tribeca Film Festival; the opening screening will also feature an intimate acoustic performance by the Pearl Jam singer. { pmcCnx({ settings: { plugins: { pmcAtlasMG: { iabPlcmt: 1, }, pmcCnx: { singleAutoPlay: 'auto' } } }, playerId: "d762a038-c1a2-4e6c-969e-b2f1c9ec6f8a", mediaId: "21101e80-0f42-4df6-80d7-29f307bf559c", }).render("connatix_player_21101e80-0f42-4df6-80d7-29f307bf559c_2"); }); Best of Rolling Stone Sly and the Family Stone: 20 Essential Songs The 50 Greatest Eminem Songs All 274 of Taylor Swift's Songs, Ranked

Hail, Hail: 3 homers propel Mariners to 5-1 win vs. Padres in Vedder Cup opener
SAN DIEGO -- J.P. Crawford homered on Stephen Kolek's first pitch and Rowdy Tellez and Cal Raleigh each added a two-run shot for the Seattle Mariners, who beat the San Diego Padres 5-1 Friday night in the opening game of the inaugural Vedder Cup. Rookie Logan Evans (2-1) pitched six strong innings for the Mariners, who took a 1 1/2-game lead over the Texas Rangers in the AL West. The Padres came in trailing the Los Angeles Dodgers by one game in the NL West. The annual interleague series between the teams that share a spring training complex was informally known since 2011 as the Vedder Cup, a reference to Pearl Jam frontman Eddie Vedder. Vedder, who is actually a Chicago Cubs fan, spent some formative years in San Diego before moving to Seattle and joining the fledgling band in 1990. The two teams formalized the competition in March, with the winner getting a trophy featuring a guitar provided by Vedder. Pearl Jam was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2017. The teams play again in Seattle Aug. 25-27. The Padres and Mariners will support EB Research Partnership, a charity co-founded by Eddie and Jill Vedder dedicated to funding research to discover treatments and cures for Epidermolysis Bullosa. Crawford's homer was his fourth. Tellez also connected to right with two outs in the fourth, with Raleigh aboard on a walk. It was his seventh. Raleigh homered to left, his 14th, after Julio Rodriguez singled leading off the sixth. Evans held the Padres to seven hits while striking out three and walking one. Only four Padres reached scoring position. Kolek (2-1) was coming off his first career complete game in a 21-0 win at Colorado last Saturday. He allowed five runs and eight hits in five innings, with four strikeouts and one walk. Crawford set the tone with his 357-foot homer over the home run porch in the right field corner. Crawford's 14 leadoff homers are second in Mariners history behind Ichiro Suzuki's 37. Mariners RHP Emerson Hancock (1-2, 6.91 ERA) and Padres RHP Nick Pivetta (5-2, 3.05) are scheduled to start Saturday night. ___
