Sorry, I was trying to be ironic and sarcastic. The fact is that I think that chart is ludicrous. I was making fun of it. Although I do think the comments about Obama were off kilter with reality.

Seriously, I'm not sure where you're getting your information, but Obama cut most of our taxes this year with the stimulus package. What's more, you're paying local sales tax at merch booths, if you're paying taxes not federal, taxes.
And I thank you for proving the earlier post about why people don't like politics in every poster.
Second though... I said he would be taking money from the sales at the merch booth. That, my friend, is going to end us as income to the band which is indeed taxable at a federal level.
And i could be wrong here, but I'm guessing PJ is in that upper income bracket that is going to be paying a lot more in taxes over the coming months and years. So you can try and bash my IQ, but a little extra attention and you would have seen that my comment was that more would be taken from the sales and not taken from people buying merch at the shows. Pearl Jam has upped their merch prices enough over the last few tours to notice the increase already.
But again thanks for showing everyone why politics in every poster can rub people the wrong way - I love when it happens without anyone asking for specific examples!
You're not making sense, brother. Your original comment was about taxes. I don't think you can blame the increase in merch prices in the past few years on federal taxes. But I could be wrong.
I think you have a problem with politics in the gig art because it reminds you about just how out of sync you are with the band's progressive beliefs and lyrics. Just a guess.

Again, if you read my post it was that they would be behind the table taking more FROM the merch sales - not from the concert-goers. That combined with me just now saying that PJ has increased prices enough on their own lately...
Whether or not I'm out of sync with their beliefs has nothing to do with the other people on here saying they wish not every poster was a political poster. I was just pointing out that part of the reason that people don't like politics is because starts arguments over meaningless comments such as you jumping over my joke that Obama would be involved in every poster since he'll be taking more from the band for their sales of them. Personally I don't care - if it looks cool I'm game. I don't go calling everyone I disagree with part of the Fox News machine or MSNBC bandwagon, etc. That would be generalizing quite a bit in an attempt to marginalize people... kind of childish for people that have an IQ over the average Green Day fan.
I liked one or two of the Ames prints from 2008 ... not loved, liked ... the Columbia one was nice, I'm a huge fan of the Clash, so, that has something to do with it.
Mentioned previously, the 2006 San Francisco prints are pretty horrid. I went out and found these alternates ... much nicer ...
Would like if PJ used a different artist every now and again ... certianly keep BK for a few shows, and yeah, throw Ames their bone ... but, bring in a few others once in a while like they did in 2000.

this would be an interesting thread idea...listing fav posters from each year....
but really? london over dusseldorf?
exactly what I was going to say ... maybe he was there ... but the Dusseldorf is my fave for 2007 and possibly my all time favorite ... at the very least, top 3.

i would take a neon snuffleupagus over BKs work ANY day!
glad hes only doing 2... hopefully both torontos and neither chicago
oh and as far as the obama thing... id say theres a good chance ames does it for chicago... but that would be taking the obvious route... and they have alot of making up to do for chicago '06... so something less political would be nice / more timeless
brads stuff looks like it belongs in a sticker vending machine at white castle / the grocery store - to then be bought and stuck to the school notebooks of insane clown posse / slipknot fans :twisted:
