The song was actually written in 2007. Pearl Jam played it at the Vic Theater in Chicago in two nights before they played Lollapollooza last year. So actually, it could have jinxed them both years.

Billy doesn't live in Chicago anymore either, so who is he to say anything? And again, 'journalist', check your facts - Vedder has been enough of a fixture at Cubs games over the years that Ernie Banks asked him to write the song. I'm guessing Ernie has never heard of Billy or his current band (that does not include D'arcy or James Iha any longer…but the SP name sells more tickets than anything called Zwan or solo gigs…who is the sellout again ?)
Here's a review typical of the current tour:

I'm guessing these guys won't be touring together anytime soon.

If Billy's so upset, why doesn't he write & perform a Cubs ballad?

On the flip side, who would the Cubs rather have as their celebrity musician fan, Vedder or Corgan?
