5K EVERY DAY – Day #357
(Opening clip — acoustic intro of “Elderly Woman Behind the Counter in a Small Town”)
On this date back in 1964, Eddie Vedder was born in Evanston, Illinois —
named Edward Louis Severson III.
(Clip — “Alive” opening riff)
But the name we know?
Vedder — taken from his mom’s maiden name.
A small change…
that became a whole new identity.
(Clip — “Animal”)
Pearl Jam never chased trends.
Eddie never chased shortcuts.
They built something real — on their own terms.
You don’t need to be who you started as —
you just need to keep becoming.
So today, I kept moving it all forward – I ran.

QUOTE OF THE DAY:
