So this morning I was greeted with this story:
Pearl Jam's Eddie Vedder pens Cubs song
Tribune report

Chicago radio stations and sports bars have begun spinning "All the Way," a Cubs-themed ditty written by Pearl Jam's Eddie Vedder at the request of Cubs legend Ernie Banks, Billboard.com reports.
The track features lines like "Our heroes wear pinstripes / pinstripes in blue / give us a chance to feel like heroes too." It was recorded last month during Cubs fan Vedder's solo concert at Auditorium Theatre, according to Billboard.com.
The song will be available for downloading in the next few days, according to Pearl Jam's Web site, and may also be sold on CD and "souvenir 45 singles."
Do you believe in miracles? While we've known for a while that EdVed was a die hard Cubbies fan, it looks like he's put his talent where his heart is and blessed us with a new tune. Will this make "Go Cubs Go" irrelevant? I don't know, but I am champing at the bit to hear this song!!!
If I didn't have to go to work today, I would hunt this down. Stay tuned folks - I'll do my best to have this posted soon if it's out there on the web!!!
