Also pictured: Kerry Wood, awesomeness. Not pictured: Sobriety, shame.
Yes, this actually happened, and there is video.
Chris Chelios and Eddie Vedder sing “The Weight” as a tribute to Levon Helm at Stanley’s in Lincoln Park during Sunday’s live band karaoke night. Kerry Wood provides support.
I mean… what else can I say, really? Besides the requisite “this is awesome,” I mean.
EDIT: Well, the video was taken down from YouTube, which disappoints me greatly. However, it was saved for posterity on Deadpsin, so check it out over there.
I wonder if Wood recently took up smoking as part of his retirement or if he’s one of those “I only smoke when I drink” types. Not that either way is wrong.

Eddie forgets his own lyrics, of course he is not going to remember someone else’s.
