Gordon Peterson, the man (not really all that) better-known as Indio, broke a twenty year silence worthy of Thomas Pynchon last month. Was it to record another album? Perhaps a single? Were we once again going to be lucky enough to hear that desperately honest voice produce music we don’t even hear in our dreams? No – the fucker came out of retirement to sue the one man responsible for awakening the world to the wonder that was the little-known 1989 album Big Harvest, which Peterson wrote and then recorded with a group of some ten other artists (including Joni Mitchell and her then-future husband.). Recent Photo of Gordon Peterson, AKA Indio That’s right – Peterson broke self-imposed cover to kick a lawsuit into the face and eyes of Eddie Vedder, whose singular crime was to cover Hard Sun from Peterson’s album and sing some different lyrics. Wow, what did Vedder do, call him a “cunt” in the opening line?

Openly mock his family and religion? Perhaps he gave Peterson’scredit card details out in the chorus, as well as his mother’s maiden name in the middle 8. Maybe the bassline was actually morse code for Peterson’s home address. Gigastudio V3 21 23901 on this page.

That’s if you CAN have an address for a camouflage netting-covered treehouse in the woods, of course. Surprisingly (or maybe unsurprisingly) it turns out to be none of those things (not EVEN a combination.) Vedder’s only crime was to change a few lines of one verse, and miss out another half-sized verse half-way through the song. For avoidance of doubt, here are the changes Vedder actually made in real life. You can hear and (that is until he sues Youtube for hosting his song FOR FREE presumably.) Hard Sun – Lyrics comparison – Bold indicates change, red is missed out. Blue shows original lyrics. C’mon, Gordon Peterson made a mistake by filing this lawsuit, but he also must have felt betrayed by Universal Records and Eddie Vedder. Imagine writing a song and focusing your artistic intent into every lyric only to see it compromised, however slightly, 2 decades later.

If anyone remembers Hard Sun now, it will be with Eddie Vedder’s lyrics, NOT Gordon Peterson’s. Universal sold his song out when they gave it away to. I read in an interview from 1989 that Peterson saw Hard Sun as a metaphor for environmental exploitation. In that context, “pillage” is an appropriate description and he meant “her” to mean mother nature. When Eddie sings about “her inner charm” he misses the point of the original song.

To conclude, I don’t think the lawsuit was an appropriate (or legally tenable) response, but I can imagine where an artist might feel compromised to see his work simultaneously altered and misinterpreted on a large scale. I’m also not quick to condemn Eddie Vedder, who singlehandedly revived Indio and Gordon Peterson’s career (and performed very well, no less).

You dont change someones art without permission. Would you paint a moustache on the Mona Lisa?

Would you change the lyrics to John Lennons Imagine or Bod Dylansblowing in the wind? Without asking??? The origninal lyrics are the original lyrics for a reason. They represent the thoughts and meaning intended by the person who write it.

Changing the lyric.changes the meaning of the song. Lets say the originator of this Blog wrote something profuond and meaningfull. A personal materpiece lets say. Then some guy changes that masterpiece without permission.

Get the point. Apparently, like most song writers, he was ticked off that no one asked permission. Peterson was not asked because he was obscure a one hit wondera relative no-body. He should have contacted Vedders people for an apology Who knows maybe he tried to contact people and the only thing he could do to get their attention was to sue. Before you trash someones motivesand call him an ass you should maybe look deeper. “You dont change someones art without permission.
