New Eddie Vedder Video - "No More"

Because online niche media demands there be an MTV site for every concept imaginable, meet think.mtv.com, the online community for youth activism that doubles as a place to premiere Eddie Vedder videos. It's a fitting site for this particular song, actually: The acoustic protest tune comes from the forthcoming soundtrack to Body Of War, a documentary about 26 year old Tomas Young, an Iraq war veteran shot and paralyzed from the chest down after a week of military service. Eddie's in good company on the soundtrack (Neil Young, Bright Eyes, and Bruce are involved too), and the clip shows the power of his song to inspire thousands at a concert to chant "No more war," or just to inspire Tomas to stop and smile as the two sit with an acoustic guitar between them.

Body of War: Songs That Inspired An Iraq War Veteran is out 3/18 on Sire.

That was amazing. Eddie's the man and we definitely need a lot more of this kind of stuff.
