Yeah - I will NEVER, EVER turn on Leno again... no matter what.

Luckily PJ will never go on Leno - they never have and I'm guessing never will.

It would be a dark day in PJ history if that ever happens.

If i lived in LA, i'd try to go just to start a "we want conan" chant or something, and try to boo Leno off stage

Sorry for coming off so harsh, but I am so sick of the bitching about the 'Target' deal. PJ is a sell out. I think posting that is worse than telling someone to shut their pie-hole...No other band bends over backwards for their fans like PJ...enough said...Not my intention to start trouble on the board...Just sick of whinners... :evil:

what three rumors were squashed?

Dark day = American Idol and PJ lore.

In PJ's defense, they struck the deal with Target as a distribution deal. Of course releasing an album on your own is hard as hell, and you need all the help you can get to distribute the album, so striking the deal with target allowed them to distribute the album in a lot of places....

also with the commercial...it's not like they had their song playing in the background of some normal Target commercial where they are selling other products...it was a commercial for PJ's new album and it told you where to get it "only at target"...sure the flashing target symbol in the background was a bit much, but i'm pretty sure that wasn't PJ's doing. It was Target who superimposed that on there, which they had a right to do. The point is, that commercial was selling their own product, Backspacer. It didn't say "here's a song by Pearl Jam, and now buy these clothes"...no clothing or any other product sold by target was used or advertised in that commercial.

I know the point of this ad for Target's benefit was for you to walk through the store on your way to the music section and buy the things you pass by, but i don't know about all of your Targets, but my Target placed the PJ display right next to the door, so i just grabbed what i wanted and checked out.

sorry, but in the way i think of it, it wasn't selling out, merely a way to easily distribute their album without the convenience of a distributing company, and to promote themselves and their own product, Backspacer.

I agree, it was just for distribution purpose and also for advertisement?

It will take some people a while to understand this.... the band, Ed I think, did say that they thought about this carefully for a long time. And then gets dropped on us right away with the leaking.... inevitable, I suppose.

My hubby didn't like it... he still likes to go to record stores to buy LPs and CDs... and his favorite store just went out of business, and another one he really likes but a bit out of way also closed recently.

He's not really an internet person...and is "old-fashioned" musician. So this took him a while to understand...it was a lengthy discussion about how musicians can survive on their own and still getting out to the bigger audience. He understands and is still a bit uncomfortable with it but he's not dwelling on it.

I pointed out that they were still working the "old-fashioned" way by working with mom and pops record stores and still making LP records. They haven't gotten rid of their traditions.

Also, you have to consider their previous record companies.... c'mon, how are they really any different than Target? They had more control than this deal with Target. :P

Just my 2 cents.

I love how people have this bitterness towards jay. The dude has been #1 for like 16 years. The dude is a ratings beast. Now u don't think he is all that funny but he is a class act.

conan is a very classy guy. he really cared about the integrity and tradition of the tonight show and would never allow it to change from its traditional 11:30 start. leno could care less about the show and had the opportunity to just walk away and leave coco, fallon, and carson daly in their respective timeslots, but nooooo he tried to screw everybody over. good thing coco was the better man and decided to leave as to not screw over fallon and daly

Leno must pray to Hugh Grant like 5 times a day

his show is
like a hooker who doesn't know when to hang it up

I'm glad his rep is takin a beating
