    Eddie Vedder Fears For The Planet's Future

    Pearl Jam frontman Eddie Vedder has spoken about his fears for the future of the planet.

    The singer has previously been outspoken for his distain for President Bush and believes that the future doesn’t hold much hope for his young daughter.

    He told USA Today:  "I feel our country is being driven down a dangerous road. How do we get our hands on the wheel and out feet on the brakes?

    "The whole world changes the day you drive her (his daughter) home from the hospital.

    "You experience the fragility of life beaming out of your newborn and it projects out into your anger at the way the world is run.

    "Globalisation and the love of the bottom line is the religion in corporate boardrooms, and greed puts this whole planet in danger.

    "Now that I see it as my daughter's planet, I'm even more angry."
