After 17 years of being the frontman for Pearl Jam, Eddie Vedder is writing and recording solo tracks for two movie soundtracks this fall.He recently talked with Entertainment Weekly about raising 3-year-old daughter, Olivia, in today's world and facing the upcoming adolescent years.
He says, "It's hard to get through a kid's life without f---ing them up. And no matter how good you are, at some point your kids are gonna have to create their own independence and think that Mom and Dad aren't cool, just to establish themselves. That's what adolescence is about. They're gonna go through that no matter what. And I think that'll be an interesting time. I'm thinking about it myself. [Chuckles] These are troubled times, too. Do you force your kids to pay attention to what's going on, or do you let them live their lives outside of it?"
One thing he does hope to pass onto Olivia, his activism and passion for the world.
"My hope is that my child is a strong activist. That would make me most proud."
