Not to worry, fellow jammers.... seems Ed was just playing a bit of a joke on Neil....this is an excerpt from the diary of the road manager for the Nil Fun tour...if you wanna...check it all out here http://www.frenz.com/16min/
"Eddie comes out and tells me to head to his room in the 2nd half of the set (oh honey)....but sadly it's just for "the stage project".
The show is underway, sold out again. The second half I am in Eddies room , attempting to make his hair into a Split Enz mohawk ...that's the secret, during TAKE A WALK Eddie Vedder will have a (small) Enz mohawk, eyeliner, makeup and an original Enz shirt made by some girls in 1974...with THE SPLITZ on the back...Anne from the front bar had this...saved it all these years...and I tell her it's fate as Eddie needs something to wear that's Enzish.....
Our problem is that his hair refuses to stay up....no time to do the old soap trick so I'm holding it together, he's upside down allowing gravity and eventually and tonnes of hair lacquer we have something...not what we wanted.
But the reaction is good...Neil just grins, loves it. They do a kick arse version of TAKE A WALK......Eddie thanks Neil for SOME GREAT SEX....No No No he says , for a fantastic week.... I am killing myself so funny. I can picture Neil wondering if I have corrupted Eddie Vedder.... massive hair products, kohl eyeliner, eyeshadow, clothing, gay jokes....BUT Mr Finn it was all his own doing, I wasn't even a catalyst....honestly!!!!!!!"
