Kate Hudson Reveals Pearl Jam's Role In The 'Song Song Blue' Story

(SiriumXM) Kate Hudson recently hosted a guest DJ session on SiriusXM's Pearl Jam Radio, sharing stories and some of her favorite songs from the band. During the session, Kate Hudson discussed her new movie "Song Sung Blue" and Pearl Jam's integral role in the story.

Kate Hudson reveals Pearl Jam's role in the "Song Song Blue" story: Yes, I'm so excited. Listen, this might start a whole thing for me because DJing feels real fun. I got real deep. First of all, I'm so excited to be here. I'm a huge Pearl Jam fan. I'm a '90s girl, so like when I was in high school, Pearl Jam was everything, and of course, Eddie Vedder was just the hottest thing known to mankind and seeing him like, you know, hanging from scaffoldings was my goal to find a man who would have the guts to hang from a scaffold, but yeah, and here I am. Here I am.

"There's a reason why I'm here other than just my obsession with Pearl Jam in the '90s and to date. I did this film called "Song Sung Blue." If you haven't seen it, I hope you get a chance to. It's a beautiful film, but Eddie plays a big part in this movie. It's a true story about Mike and Claire Sardina. They were a Neil Diamond tribute band. They were married. Incredible love story. Kind of a tragic love story, but it's incredibly life affirming, but Eddie changed their life.

Eddie was playing Summerfest in 1995. Pearl Jam was playing there, and Eddie had a friend, I guess. I think his name was Fred or something. He had a friend that was like a local guy in Milwaukee who said, "You should get this, you know, couple, Lightning and Thunder, to come play with you at Summerfest, and they do Neil Diamond songs," and Eddie just leaned in and called them up and invited them on stage, and it completely changed this couple's life.

Also, Eddie's been so supportive of this movie, and we're so grateful, and he also allowed us to use "Alive," his song, which we were very excited about, and so, of course, I'll be playing that today at some point, but that is why I'm here and now I get to impress all of you Pearl Jam fans out there with my knowledge and yeah. Let's get it going. Let's have some fun."

Kate Hudson's guest DJ session is available on SiriusXM's Pearl Jam Radio (ch. 22) here and anytime on the SiriusXM app.
