$4,990.00
Original song lyrics handwritten by Pearl Jam front-man Eddie Vedder, and signed at the conclusion. The lyrics are from a Bad Radio song titled "Homeless". Bad Radio was Vedder's band before Pearl Jam.
The lyrics are written in black felt-tip pen on the back of a 10" x 8" Public Relations photo for Bad Radio.
Handwritten lyrics from any major artist are scarce, and very few have made it out on the market from Vedder. Pearl Jam lyrics written by Vedder would sell for MANY times this price.
These lyrics were written out many years ago. Vedder has changed his signature since this was signed. This is a very nice example of his signature.
Pearl Jam has only played this song once in concert, on Jan. 23, 1993 at the Palladium in Hollywood.
In very nice condition. This is a rare investment-quality piece from Eddie Vedder.
Sold with Certificates of Authenticity from both The Autograph Source (Lifetime Guarantee) and independent third-party authenticator PSA/DNA.

Homeless (just Wanted You To Know)
Look me in the eye just this one time mister
I won't be brushed away I have to hurt you don't you know
My back is broken and my hands are blistered
I've worked a bloody life time tell me what have I to show oh ho

The tragedy is killin' me and you...you say you gotta go oh ho

Fuck off

I won't be here tomorrow there's only one place left to go
You think the homeless think they must be crazy
Well listen to my last words as I say it ain't so oh ho oh ho
I just wanted you to know 2x
Oh oh ho oh 2x

Oooh oooh oooh oooh

BAD RADIO HISTORY:
Bad Radio was a four piece, American progressive funk rock band that formed in San Diego, California in 1986. The band is most notable for having featured future Pearl Jam vocalist Eddie Vedder as its lead singer from 1988–1990. The band was a popular live band in Southern California, but never released a record on a major label.
Bad Radio was formed in 1986 by vocalist Keith Wood, guitarist Dave George, bassist Dave Silva, and drummer Joey Ponchetti.[1] The music of the original incarnation of the band was influenced by Duran Duran.[2] Between 1988 and 1990, future Pearl Jam lead singer Eddie Vedder was the vocalist. After Vedder joined Bad Radio, the band moved on to a more alternative rock sound influenced by the Red Hot Chili Peppers.[2] During his time with the band he premiered the song "Better Man", which would later be recorded with Pearl Jam.
In 1989, the band released a 4-song demo tape which has been dubbed the Tower Records Demo[3] due to it being sold locally in San Diego Tower Records stores for about a year. Later that year the band released another demo tape titled What the Funk. The demo tape was funded after winning a battle of the bands contest held by San Diego radio station 91X. The demo tape included recordings of songs titled, "I'm Alive", "Homeless", "What the Funk", and "Believe You Me".
Vedder's last show with the band was February 11, 1990. After Vedder left, original band vocalist Keith Wood replaced him, and the band relocated to Hollywood, where the band was joined by a new drummer, Dawn Richardson. Richardson would later join the 4 Non Blondes.
