I don't think Bush is the Devil. I am voting for McCain. I do believe marriage should be between a man and women.

In the beginning it was about the music. Now everything has become so political. I believe they have become a political band. I don't know. But we've grown apart.

I'm not throwing away my Pearl Jam cds. I don't hate the band or there politics. I do believe they have become cheerleaders for the far left. And it's not like the far right is any better.

I feel I’m not qualified or I don't fit the profile to be a pearl jam fan. I don't know.

I am removing the website from my favorites. I doubt if I by any more PJ cds. I'm just not into that style of music anymore.

I believe this person only registered here as a troll.

As for this left vs right, I hate it, to me its right vs wrong.
Politics shouldn't be like a team you choose (left vs right) rather right vs wrong (no pun intended).

oh geez. Here we go again... get off your computer and get some fresh air. Your going to loose hair over something really stupid. In case you haven't realized, they've always been very political. Take it for what it is and don't waste time worrying about it.

Funny... I just started this thread over on the Moving Train today:

I DON'T believe marriage should be allowed only between a man and a woman. I do agree with Pearl Jam's stance.

Maybe i should quit the boards too. Dammit. I'll sell my Eddie Vedder autograph on ebay.

no no... cheneys the devils hand maiden.

not that i believe in marriage but if thats what floats your boat then it should be between two people who love each other. 1 dick, 2 dicks, no dicks... it shouldnt matter. lets face it the heteros havent exactly exhibited a lasting endorsement for its exclusivity, now have they?

Yeah if we get off topic this'll end up in AMT where SCB started one ... again.

But huh, ya got me with "Even Flow" is political. Or Garden. You got some references of the artist sayin as such, or is that ya'lls interpretation? Don't mind interpretation, Ansel Adams: there's two people in every photo, the photographer, and the viewer.

I mean, yeah, I see Even Flow is about a homeless dude, so "the homeless" is political? They're taking a stance in that song? I don't get it.

I think it's much much more about the emotions of homelessness, a state of mind that can lead to such and so forth -- as for it being a political rallying cry, dunno...

But, "I'm open...."

As for the polygamist comment ... LMAO! THat's why I read these threads!

Homelessness is a social issue. Some people hold the belief that we should have compassion for the homeless and possibly help them overcome their situation. There are others who feel that if people are homeless it's because they're lazy fucks who should pull themselves up by their bootstraps, get a job, and stop looking for handouts. Pearl Jam took the former stance in Evenflow, at least regarding the compassion part.

There is no right and left. There is right and wrong. The past 8 years have been wrong.

There's always the music, if you are, in fact, a true fan of it.
I love Tool. Love the music. Saw the band in Rolling Stone years ago. I got a little creaped out. I think the lead singer was in a bra.
I hate when people dress up like halloween and play music.. blah, blah, blah. I have never seen Tool live. Sometimes to my regret. But my point is, I still listen to their records all the time. For me, it's their music.
It's all that really matters for me, anyhow.

You know what I don't understand. Why people find it necessary to announce they are no longer fans. Why go through the effort? Just leave. It's as simple as that. Another thing I don't understand is why people let their politics affect their taste in entertainment. For instance, I'm a conservative, but if I allowed my political beliefs to determine what I liked, I'd be a Toby Keith fan (God forbid).

Bottom line: just leave. That is all you need to do.
