I dont want Obama to win but if he does at least Eddie wont be able to bitch about the preisdent anymore. I am so tired of his political rants. We get it, you didnt like Bush 1, you didnt like Clinton, you dont like GW Bush. It has been almost 20 years of bitching about the president, it will be nice if the guy he wanted is in office so I wont have to listen to his disgust with the adminstration for awhile.
That being said, McCain will win, so I guess I will have to listen to Eddie "political genious" for another 4 years at least.
Well said. This might be the most accurate political post I have ever seen on this board.

Lookin at your signature, I'll bet GOD leads your political decisions? I'll take an end to all the religious right wing BS rants I hear in this Country...very damaging to this Country vs. anything Ed or anyone in the limelight could do.
God might be real and man is he/she/it pissed w/ f'in conservative redneck idiots!
War monger McCain wins and the US will continue to plummet towards implosion...luckily I live near Canada and can ditch before all our new enemies in the Middle East take the country over and our economy continues to dive.
Ed/Jill and Neil will probably have left for Canada also...we can hang.

This ignorant post is what I hate about far left stupid fucks. You think just because someone believes in God they are damaging the country? I'm not big into christianity but he has every right to say what he believes, and I agree with him. Holy shit, you are a fucking idiot. Continue believing all of the false promises that Obama is saying (Mccain is guilty of it too)..You will see what kind of man he is within the next couple of months. I'm done here though because this is not the politic forum.
EDIT: That is what is beautiful about this country though..You can say what you said and I can say what I said. If people like you and all of the other Far lefts don't get a grip, we won't have the rights like we have now.
On a different note related to the article, I'm posting this review that was in a different thread. I think it really captures the mood there and is a tremendous post. Seems like the best PJ show in a very long time.
Still shaking out the cob webs after what was a really long night but here's some details. So this is my 3rd Bonnaroo and having Pearl Jam there was like having two of my best friends meet for the first time and loving each other. Got up there about 3/4 of the way through BB King's set and started jockeying for position as the anticipation was really starting to build. Jack Johnson came out to an incredibly warm reception and played a killer set. He said at one point "are you guys as excited as I am to see Pearl Jam?" He then brought out Eddie to play a Jack song (Constellations I think). That was an exciting moment because it was our first glimpse of Eddie.
The stage set up is really cool with a big screen behind them with a wave mural and then two big PJ banners on each side of the stage. The lights go out and everyone goes nuts. Hard to Imagine was a great opener and he had the crowd singing instantly. If there was any question that this crowd belonged to PJ it was answered right then. Courdoroy was awesome and then All Night threw some people off but still sounded awesome. Who You Are is a song I've been waiting to hear for a long time. In preparation for this show I hadn't checked the setlists from the previous nights but someone had mentioned they played Who You Are so I had a feeling it was coming. They've reworked the drum intro and they nailed it, absolutely beautiful.
Half Full ripped, Mike did a blistering solo. Before Gone Eddie says that on January 8th, 2001 when Bush took office that gas was 1.56 a gallon and now it's 4.50. He said he wrote this next song when it was at about 2.75 and played Gone. Just mentioning Bush got mixed response from the crowd. Not like the San Francisco crowds I'm used to. Love Reign O'er Me was really solid, Eddie really put it down on this one.
During the first encore the camera man zoomed in on the setlist so we knew what was coming. I saw No More coming up and wondered how it would go with the crowd. Eddie comes out and says "we were talking backstage and you guys really remind us of a crowd at a festival in Amsterdam. All I need now is for you to tell me to go fuck myself in Dutch, Don't worry you'll get your chance in a bit" a reference to No More? I don't know. WMA sounded really, really good. Reworked just enough and it extended out nicely.
For the 2nd Encore he came out alone and told the story of the guy from Body of War. He recently slipped into a coma and Eddie was obviously affected by it, in fact he seemed to be battling a lot of emotion all night. He said I know there's a time and a place to talk about this stuff but I'm pissed!!! He then talked about how the 80,000 people here have the power to change the world. The crowd came around for No More and really made it a nice sing along. Eddie said that if we sang along he'd said Thomas the tape. I had seen Release on the setlist and thought it was really odd to be played so late. Eddie talked about how their friend had lost their Father the day before and he was going to play this for him. The most amazing Release ever with Eddie crying throughout.
To backtrack a second suring the 2nd encore break the crowd starting singing Alive on it's own, in fact it sounded like the whole crowd was signing it so Alive was a big hit when they played not to mention that I think Eddie was into bottle of wine number 3 by that point. Yellow Ledbetter and Indifference were on the setlist as the closers but they must have changed it up and went with Watchtower.
All in all the most amazing PJ show I have been to. I was proud to be a PJ fan. The band really, really brought it and I have a feeling will go down in Bonnaroo history as one of their best headliner ever, hands down the best in my book. Sorry for the long review but last night's show was a marathon, not to mention Kanye West finally coming onstage at 4:30 in the morning and playing until the sun came up. Bonnaroo is nuts, absolutely nuts!!!

You're calling me a "far right stupid fuck" and I'm the idiot?
I didn't say anyone who believed in God was the problem...just the religious right freaks pushin their political agendas.
I'm not HUGE on Obama...but anyone is a better choice than McCain. HE could only bring this country DOWN...no matter how much time if he spent as a POW...I respect him for that, but its time to move ahead and he needs to quit obsessing about it. He ain't the answer.
I dont want Obama to win but if he does at least Eddie wont be able to bitch about the preisdent anymore. I am so tired of his political rants.

You are very good at complaining about a guy that isn't elected to represent you. Why would you pay for something that makes you feel so unrepresented? If Eddie paid money to go be part of the 'George Bush' experience and complained all the time, we would have a right to think he was a fool for subjecting himself to it. I think we have a right to proclaim you are fool for subjecting yourself to Pearl Jam. It's like buying a hooker but being upset about the crotch crickets. Even worse, what you do is buy the hooker, take the infestation back to your wife and show her.......
Can you imagine Bono and Ed playing together? It'd be half-politics, half-music, but at least Bono has his heart in the right place when talking about Darfur, etc.
That must be a different Bono from the egomaniacal, shamelessly self-promoting, platitude-spouting little turd I have the misfortune to share a country with.
Weird that they both talk about Darfur

I wont add any fluff to this. Many people that are religious are irresponsible with the life they live on earth. The whole idea that this is a temporary position and that eternal life awaits people is the single most damaging idea in the history of mankind. It allows people of all religions to do awful things. Once you empower a human with the idea that they have earned the right to live forever under the shadow of their own god, that human exploits that false power ends up justifying anything from greed to murder, to mass suffering and mass murder.
It happens with every culture and it is happening in ours now. Could you please explain what Far Lefts need a grip of? That was an irrational point, backed up by nothing and that goes nowhere......

Well put... its too bad that its so uncommon for people to embrace a religion or ethic without taking it beyond trying to do the right thing in the present...with no thought of what somehow lies beyond in some "heavenly place. Whether its a sucide bomber or someone bombing an abortion clinic...or making political pushes/decisions based on some certain religious morality...its all the same thing. The means to no end.
I'd start walking your way
You'd start walking mine
We'd meet in the middle

I enjoy their music, sorry. Did I boo at Uniondale when Eddie did his Bushleauger stunt, no. Did I throw shit at the stage, no. Did I leave, no. Did I agree with what he was saying, no. Do I think that it was probably a bad idea to bash the president in their 1st NY area appearance after 9/111, yes. He was standing in front of a crowd, who many knew someone who died that day (including myself) and he expected the crowd to go with him and his hatred of Bush?
But they are my favorite band, and I will go see them every chance I get.
oh sorry, if I spell a couple words wrong. I am typing while I am talking on a phone at work.

So just because 9/11 happened, we were required to bow down to the President and do whatever he says, no matter what? Fuck that. He's not my fucking king. And if more people had taken their heads out of their asses at the time, maybe we wouldn't have let him start a war that's claimed many more lives than were lost on 9/11.

Where did I say that? All I said was making youre first appearance in an area where many people lost people they knew, if not members of their family, wasnt the best place to go off on the president. He had to know it wasnt going to go over well.
the problem is most people have their heads up their ass as far as politics go so when Ed starts talking about the need for change these dumb zombie fucks are unable to comprehend what he is trying to say thus exposing their massive ignorance triggering them to become irate in defense,because of their own insecurities of feeling like a moronic dumbed down slob.
not that Ed has all the answers.
Obama suck just as much as McCain!
but at least he wants to promote getting involved & educated. he knows our freedoms are being attacked (and we may want to do something about it before it gets much worse.)
so to the asshole who wants to yell @ Ed for speaking out, you are the un-American dip shit that's too stupid to realize you need to be speaking out too!!

I disagree. I think people are more aware about politics now more than ever.
Isnt the asshole who is yelling at Ed speaking out?
Bush a patriot?? are you out of your fucking mind??!!!!!!!
Wow dude You just got owned.
Ed isn't scared to upset the "herd".that's what patriots do!!
He said you could sub Bush's name in there. Bush has done what he has stood up for and he didn't care how upset anyone got about it. So, by your definition..Bush is a patriot.

One bright day in the middle of the night
Two dead boys got up to fight
Back to back they faced each other
Drew their swords and shot each other
A deaf policeman heard the noise
He came and shot the two dead boys.
If you don't believe this lie is true
Ask the blind man, he saw it too!
You're a poet and didn't even know it.
