No matter what the announcement is, PLEASE, NO MORE "LET STONE SING" Signs

So tonight, we may get a tour announcement... we may get a bonnaroo announcement... who knows, but if they do announce shows, I beg of you... Please, lets not make any more of the "Let Stone Sing" signs... If you really want to make a sign like that, go listen to Pearl Jam's newest song (it isn't PJ in my mind without EdVed on vocals) "Rock Around Borat"
Oh, Mankind and Gimme No Lip are HORRIBLE also!

    Let Stone Sing was one of the great moments in my personal experience at State College '03.

    I can not agree with this sentiment.

    :D
    Classic.

    Yeah. We should replace all those meaningless Let Stone Sing signs with Rock Around Barack, until they actually play this song.

    Then we can flip the sign around and write 'COWABUNGA!' on it and wait for that to happen, too.

    Please don't even let Stone sing in the shower! Ugh. I like Mankind, but I am not a fan of his vocals AT ALL.
    I shit and I stink. I'm real, join the club.

    A friend, he called, I didn't mention a thing. The last thing he said was, "Be sound". Sound. I contemplated an awful thing, I hate to admit. I just thought those would be such appropriate last words. But I'm still here.

    I like Boom!
    I say we let Boom sing!
    Seriously, this new song is crap! I liked Ed's Dylan cover for Kerry (or Nader or whoever he was backing at that time)

    Oh the times, they are a changin!

    London, ON 09/12/05:

    Ed: "1, 2, 3, 4, 2,..." (Stone started strumming JUST a little too early, stops himself, Ed laughs, crowd cheers),...

    Ed: "Stone Gossard, everybody, right here...there's two people,ah, standing over here with "Let Stone Sing Songs" Signs (crowd cheers, Stone noodlepicks on his acoustic),...

    (crowd up front starts the chant, "Let Stone Sing,..."

    Ed: "Let Stone Sing a Song is the sign",... (dumbfounded)

    the crowd cheer picks up steam, Stone still noodlepicking, likely embarrassed,...Matt then joins Stone with a little high-hat groove as he's picked up on the cheer,...Ed has also now picked up on it, and repeats it in amazement "Let Stone Sing,..."

    Jeff joins in on the groove, then Matt kicks it up a notch with the cowbell, Ed strums a note, and we have ourselves a funky little groove inspired by the chant

    quick jam ends. crowd cheers.

    Ed: "No, he shall never sing! (crowd laughs),...He shall never sing! He shant be singing! (crowd boo's),...Not only will he not be singing, but he'll be kissing fish! Where's the fish to kiss? (side note: the practice of kissing fish in Newfoundland, known as "screeching") I think we've been had! (Ed giggles),...What? You think that actually somebody's not letting him sing, is that the connotation of that sign? (Stone noodlepicks) Stone Gossard can sing anytime he wants, at any time, on this stage, on any stage really (crowd cheers),...He chooses not to, and he's waiting to find a worthy audience apparently (crowd boo's),...

    Stone: "Actually, what I've always wanted to do is dance, so, (crowd cheers) tonight I'm going to perform later, ah, after the show for an hour, so (Ed starts strumming a little groove for Stone to dance to), everyone stick around, it's gonna be fuckin' kick-ass, for sure! (the rest of the band joins in you, and Stone can't resist!)

    No sir, can't say that I agree here.

    Besides, why are folks taking the "Rock Around Barack" so fucking seriously? Christ on a fucking electric wheel-chair, it's clearly not something we're supposed to be in awe of, it's just a campaign song.
