Life imitated art imitating life Sunday as Eddie Vedder<\/a> covered the A Star Is Born<\/a><\/em> song \u201cMaybe It\u2019s Time\u201d during his set at Tempe, Arizona\u2019s Innings Festival. Bradley Cooper<\/a>\u2019s Jackson Maine, a character that was partly inspired by the Pearl Jam singer, performs the Jason Isbell<\/a>-penned track in the film.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is about another guy from here,\u201d Vedder prefaced before his acoustic rendition; the Jackson Maine character is from Arizona in the film.<\/p>\n

In an interview<\/a> leading up to the release of the Oscar-nominated film, Cooper revealed he leaned on Vedder for insight into the rock star persona when scripting the Maine character, asking \u201c9,000 questions\u201d of the Pearl Jam singer.<\/p>\n

\u201c[Vedder] gave me minor, little things that only musicians know about what to do, just aesthetically and the inner workings,\u201d Cooper said; the actor-director also said Vedder discouraged Cooper from remaking A Star Is Born<\/em>. \u201cBro, don\u2019t do that,\u201d Vedder told him.<\/p>\n

Upon hearing that Vedder covered \u201cMaybe It\u2019s Time,\u201d Isbell tweeted<\/a>, \u201cHoly shit Eddie Vedder sang my Bradley Cooper song in his set tonight. That is by far the strangest sentence I\u2019ve ever composed, but it\u2019s certainly a huge honor. I was 12 when \u2018Ten\u2019 came out and by god I learned how to play every song on it.\u201d<\/p>\n
