Eddie Vedder’s Song was Written Before He Could Legally Drink
Eddie Vedder, Pearl Jam’s frontman, did not imagine himself growing up to be a rock star like he is today. He wrote ‘Better Man’ and started the journey of being a super songwriter rock star. He said to himself that he wrote the lyrics of ‘Better Man’ even before he was of legal age to consume alcohol.

“Sometimes I think about it, how far I’ve come from the teenager that was sitting on a bed in San Diego, writing ‘Better Man,’ wondering if anyone would ever want to hear it for one,’’ he said during an interview with a magazine. His song was top of the charts on Billboard Mainstream Rock Tracks. That’s not all; the song remained at the top of the charts for 8 good weeks.
