I remember Eddie pulling his Garbo act of "I don't want to be famous" in every interview he did after they made it big. It was very annoying, and yet people took him seriously. Layne Staley was great. Chris Cornell was great. Hell, Andrew Wood was great. They're all gone, but Eddie Vedder is still with us, though perhaps not as famous as he once was.

Garbo act? He was worried about inauthenticity (i.e., selling out). Cobain was similarly afflicted and, so far as I can tell, much of Gen X cultural commentary was, too.
