Coolness untainted, but this was "Hunger Strike" by Temple of the Dog which did include Eddie Vedder of Pearl Jam on lead vocals and Chris Cornell from Soundgarden as well as a couple members of Mother Love Bone.
Correction: Chris Cornell was the lead singer for Temple Of The Dog (before he founded Soundgarden) and Eddie Vedder was a featured guest lead vocalist for "Hunger Strike" as well as providing background vocals on a couple of other tracks. Vedder was not actually a member of Temple Of The Dog. Still one of the best albums of the "grunge" era, though.
Soundgarden formed officially in '84, with Cornell conceiving Temple in '90 as a tribute to a friend who OD'd. Cornell wrote "Hunger Strike."
I can't really find anything that says Vedder wasn't a member, but you're right in saying his role was primarily backup vocals. "Hunger Strike" was more of a duet.
I forever stand vigilant to protect this planet from the myriad of forces that are always against us. Be it the octopus, zombies, aliens or the robots my team of human agents, and our feline allies, circle the globe in a never ending struggle for human freedom.
I learn all I can on every subject that interests me. I especially enjoy ancient history because in the past there are valuable lessons to be found. Also, if I ever get my time machine to work properly, it would be good to know a bit about possible destinations and what to expect when I get there.
I greatly appreciate beautiful design. Be it manufactured or found naturally I am fascinated by the process of invention. I am attracted to the unique, the strange, the haunted. I like to share what I find on this blog.
And not let us forget the 'Cephalopod Menace' who, if allowed to, would wrap their tentacles around all that is good and pure in this life and crush it until it remained no more. They are creatures of pure spite. Hate is all they know. Death is all they do. They are our most ruthless and determined enemy.
So we fight. Selena has the celebrity contacts, the cat is ruthless and without pity, Roosevelt's ghost has the experience and I do the wetwork.
Fighting for the future of the planet doesn't have to be a chore, however. We can take the time to appreciate all that is cool in this world even as we cut the octopus into bite sized chunks.
This is the reason there has always been and must forever be, a Cave of Cool. Be sure to wipe your feet before you enter.
