    It's actually humorous and ironic regarding Will Ferrell. I don't think the band or Neil could give a shit. Therefore, neither do I.

    Once again . . who cares . . . why do we raise such a fuss when someone opposes/"disses" the band?

    Not everyone likes them and not everyone ever will. Live with it, ignore what you read and move on..... those articles do not detract from what they mean to us and don't stop us from buying records and going to shows.......

    omg omg omg PJ and Neil should totally get together and write, like, a diss track about the journalist and release it as a bootleg. Ya know? They could even give Ferrell a verse... ;)
  • bonebone Posts: 498
    Holy overeaction Batman. It's obviously a joke piece making fun of a supposed Will Ferrell curse and all you get out of it is that it was a slander to Pearl Jam and Neil Young. Some PJ fans amaze me.

    Overreaction? Dude I ain't losin sleep. Your response is an overreaction. It is a Pearl Jam forum to bring things to discuss and comment on no? If this amazes you. You need to get out more.

    Wow. That was such an unprofessionally written article.. amazing that garbage like that even gets published - I thought newspaper writers were supposed to at least pretend to be impartial and unbiased.

    No logic, no evidence, no point.
    It was a passing comment that was completely irrelevant to the story.
    What a prat!
    + I don't care what this hack claims- Will Ferrell may be over-the-top...
    ...VERY, in fact. But Talladega Nights is still funny as all get-out.
    That article was a waste of 3 minutes.
    I want my 3 minutes back!

    There are people in this world that will not like PJ or appreciate the music, the lyrics, the dedication, the experience. I'm fine with that. It's good to have differing views and personal opinions. And trust me, there are people in this world that I would not want to see at a PJ show. I've been to Wal-Mart.

    I always find these kinds of critics pathetic, desperate for attention by trying to write these columns saturated with exaggerated slights which they think are actually funny. Actually, you read alot of these in album reviews; critics who don't really go out and accomplish anything, just sit around absorbing other people's work and judge it based on their own passive, and what is obviously pessimistic view on life..........really who gives a shit
