    Isn't it actually the 5 year anniversary of the invasion on Wed. March 19?

    Also, I never noticed the play on words in the line "the lies we were told to get us to go were criminal" until just now watching the video. Were criminal/war criminal. Ed seems to pronounce them the same way.

    This video is great AND important...

    ...yet a bunch of you superficial a-holes are looking for news of a tour, posters or some such shit. No one wants to see PJ live again more than me, but to react to this video post with disappointment over the "tweet" makes you seem like dickheads.

    Get your priorities in order. This guy's in a wheelchair because of the war and we're closing in on 4000 U.S. deaths and 1.2m Iraqis. Go tweet yourselves.

    I agree. Just shows how spoiled we are, not as Pearl Jam fans, but as people in general. I'm not throwing stones, because I know I am one of those that are spoiled.

    Looks like some good tunes on the compilation too. Glad Bright Eyes is on there...that's actually a song I've hoped Ed would cover. I've thought that ever since the first time I heard heard it.
