no, there are conservatives everywhere, and even in the South, the big cities are pretty liberal or at least moderate. If I member right, Atlanta loves them some Pearl Jam.

English please.... Hahahahaha.
No. He said it's because of you.
Hail, Hail!!!
They say every sin is deadly but I believe they may be wrong...I'm guilty of all seven and I don't feel too bad at all
Conservatives want PJ to play the South then they heckle Ed for spouting his views (his right). It's no wonder he appears to say "fuck 'em."

So, now that you see what I was getting at, don't you think staying out of the south based on politics would be a tad childish and not very liberal at all?
If it's money, that's fine....'dem bruthas gots to have steaks in the freezer too

You got the numbers for those shows?
tampa and columbia only have top tier tickets left. And fan club sales don't reveal how the show is going to sell in those regions.

Why just vedder? He's not the whole band. I think Stone gets a say too!
For Those About To Rock !
Art changes people. People change the world.
that's all well and good, but there are plenty of venues in the south I'm sure will sell out.
for the least they could possibly do
You're right. Most people get their political opinions from rock stars. Myself, I became conservative because I went to a Ted Nugent show.
Maybe I need Ed to set me straight.
for the least they could possibly do
oh yea, because everyone knows that sioux falls south dakota is where the party's at!

this is a myth. Just don't play middle of nowhere places like Birmingham, Alabama and what not.
Every show I've ever been to in Texas has been sold out. Every one. They could play one damn date in Dallas and it would sell out. You'd also draw folks from Oklahoma City to that.

I think it has more to do with the south sucking in general. He wants to go there as much as everyone else.......not at all.
There's a chance here that I am not able to convey my true thoughts in a text based medium. I think you misconstrued what I was saying. Not that people get their political opinions from rock stars as much as people really don't have their own political opinions at all and just do what their parents did before them. Outside influence can sometimes cause a person to look at what these politicians stand for themselves and make informed decisions when choosing a candidate to vote for and not just following family tradition.
I have to admit, I somewhat resent your implication that I am a lemming and would follow Ed off the edge of the flat earth.
Peace
Ed's worried about his "purty mouth"
don't be a tool. read much?

DALLAS — Four Texas metropolitan areas were among the biggest population gainers as Americans continued their trend of moving to the Sun Belt in 2006 and 2007, according to Census Bureau estimates released yesterday.
Dallas-Fort Worth added more than 162,000 residents between July 2006 and July 2007, more than any other metro area. Three other Texas areas — Houston, Austin, and San Antonio — also cracked the top 10.
Atlanta saw the second-largest population jump with just over 151,000 new residents. Phoenix was third with more than 132,000, and was followed by Houston, Riverside, Calif., Charlotte, N.C., Chicago, Austin, Las Vegas, and San Antonio. Of the 50 fastest-growing metro areas, 27 were in the South and 20 were in the West. Two were in the Midwest, one — Fayetteville, Ark. — straddles the South and Midwest and none was in the Northeast. Detroit lost more than three times as many people as any other metro area — its population declined more than 27,300. Other areas losing more than 5,000 people were Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Columbus, Ga., Youngstown, Ohio, and Buffalo, N.Y.
Experts credit much of the growth in the South to relatively strong local economies and housing prices that are among the most affordable in the U.S.
“People are running away from unaffordable housing, from the economic slowdown,” a state demographer in Texas, Karl Eschbach, said. “I would expect Texas to stay at the top of a slowing game.” According to figures compiled by Mr. Eschbach, 16% of Americans who moved to other states between July 2006 and July 2007 came to Texas, which led the nation for the second straight year in that category.

I dont think it's outrageous for those in the south to be calling for shows. It's been about 5 years now since they were here last.
Not everyone in the south is conservative; especially those in the demographic that would go to a concert. We need to stop generalizing; it probably has to do with ticket sales more than anything.
If anything the non-conservatives in the south should be rewarded with shows b/c we are the ones down here offering opposing views....
Also, in Cornice, at the church the guy asked why did you decide on our city and Eddie replied something along the lines of "I go where they tell me."
