VEDDER SELLS OFF LOVE BOAT CAPTAIN GUITAR

The guitar PEARL JAM star EDDIE VEDDER used to write LOVE BOAT CAPTAIN has sold for $8,000 (GBP4,000) at a fundraising auction for legal costs to help jailed youths the West Memphis 3 defend themselves against murder charges. The Tuesday night (25Mar08) benefit was held at the New York home of Peter, Paul + Mary star Peter Yarrow. Vedder has long been a vocal advocate for the innocence of the men, who were convicted of the 1993 murder of three eight-year-old boys in West Memphis, Arkansas. He is auctioning off concert seats and meet-and-greet sessions on his upcoming debut solo tour to raise cash for the defence fund of the West Memphis 3.
