Saying one word about politics, war, Bush, or Obama in Albany. I am glad I didn't have to hear "No More" again or listen to how bad Bush is or how great the demi-god Obama is. It truly was refreshing.

If he did talk about how bad Bush was, and how great Obama is, he would only be speaking the truth.
Gimme some truth!! Now thats a song that I wanna hear tonight at the Tower!!

i don't know about that!!....i know there is nothing to be happy about with the state of this country..quite the opposite in fact...i think he just wanted to keep the mood lite.
"thanks for not being concerned about the future or making me think Eddie"............these people piss me the fuck off!!!! :x :evil: :x :evil:
AMEN!!! I love him and all, but "shut up and sing!!" LOL

Why do they piss you off so much? Isn't it ok for them to go to a concert and not hear a rock star talk about the ills of the world? MOst people don't need a rock star to make them think about the world...in fact, most people want a rock concert to be a place to get away from it for a little while.
Either way, I'll never understand people getting mad at others that are happy when ed does or doesn't go off on a political rant.
Don't give him fuel. He is always looking for an excuse to bust out the old soapbox. A communications guru he is not.
"Shut up and sing"???
People who make statements like this sound idiotic. If you loved him so much, then you would respect his opinions on things.

And here's to FREE SPEECH!!! Let the man say absolutely whatever he wants, whether we want to hear it or not!
most people don't think...period...that's the problem...
everything around you is a distraction! sports..(one of the biggest),movies,TV in general..from sitcoms to "news"...fucking celebrity worship dominates the 5 o'clock "news" just as much as it does on E entertainment..American idol!! don't even get me started on that garbage! i feel like I'm living in the twilight zone with a bunch of people turned to zombies by the idiot box and now they no longer care about freedom or justice or the futures of not only their children but of this planet and all man/woman-kind!!!....so i enjoy when Ed says ..hey..let's talk about this shit going on.
there's today's mother fucking dose of soapbox for you!
nice!!!

That shit was and is getting OLD!!!
We still love ya ED...
Many of us have made a difference in the world because of their music so I say keep talking about your ideals. Make me think about something else we can change for the better.
My two cents...
why do you think NBC pulled the plug on the RITFW video ?
I certainly think it might have had something to do with Eds " Doctor " line and "Right To Life" Statements at the end,
and i think there will always be something for him to voice his feelings on or about,
one way or another,
one president or another,.
That it ain't no sin to be glad you're alive

Listen dude...i go to these shows (and pay top dollar, might I add) to get AWAY from it all. Not to hear grumbling about the world from someone who #1) let's face it, does not remember what it's like to be a "normal citizen" of the world and #2) is not aware of what life is like as a small business owner who is getting taxed up the wazoo and who doesn't want government telling them how to run shit. Let's face it....he can get diarrhea of the mouth sometimes.
I fucking LOVE Eddie. I'm young and have loved Pearl Jam since they started. More and more celebrities rant and protest and hold fundraisers....this does not give people their own opinion. It gives them their favorite celebrities opinion.... I've been to MANY shows and would like to just enjoy the music.
Life is too short. Free speech is awesome and I respect his opinion....but there is a time and a place. No need to get hostile. It was a joke....hence the "LOL" after. I have completely opposite viewpoints than Eddie but believe he is a genius with music and yes, do respect him. It's refreshing to know that at the 2 shows I'm going to, I get to look forward to enjoying the moment....
