Eddies goes political on this tour! The world is on fire and no policies from this admin. has helped our image or liberal ideaology! There are people dying everywhere including in Chicago like no other and if he mentions Trayvon Martin again I will be upset that Eddie will concentrate on small things that are divisive when he has a moment to use the stage to bring us together. You know its very easy to say something uniting or positive! Cmon Eddie use the stage to praise the USA for our resolve, hard work, role in the world! If you like the president so much Eddie, then praise the country for the progress we have made. Dont waste our time by dividing us further. Egypt and the Middle East is on fire and this tour coming up shouldnt be about one person, one thing, or one side! Please Eddie, seek libertarian leanings and meanings, and seek smaller govt. as we all know the big govt. is not the way! Please Eddie I cant believe you of all people would advocate the growth of this govt. The growth of any govt. that takes away freedom from THE PEOPLE. Please Eddie come to the middle and voice for smaller govt. and more freedom!

Please Eddie......we all know when MAN is in control.....corruption is inherently rampant!

Use the platform to help us unite and lead us to the Middle!
Theres no time like the present

A man that stands for nothing....will fall for anything!

All people need to do more on every level!

    More freedom to do what? Fill your greedy bellies, destroy the environment and shoot each other with semi-automatic weapons?

    As for the 'when MAN is in control' part of this bollocks - is that an attempt to promote your imaginary 'God'?


    Must be hard for some people to have to confront reality every day. good job they have the T.V, and a shit-load of wacky internet sites to distract them.

    So to understand, you will excercise your right to freedom of expression IF someone you are paying to express himself does so in a way that's beyond musical expression in a manner you don't like? Gotcha.

    Three cheers for freedom of speech!!! Maybe, as long as it ok with you!!

  • i don't ask that eddie become a libertarian

    but it is awfully tiring to hear him go on and on, tour after tour, about "fucking republicans" horse shit type of speech, bashing petty Right wing policies and drumming up support for the democratic liberal agenda under the pretense that it is pro-peace and that it is for the 99% ... which OBAMA HAS CLEARLY PROVED, IT IS *NOT*.

    Eddie's most accurate political summation is from Charlotte 2001 "Improv"
    "there are democrats,
    there are republicans,
    they're just two men wearing the same hat."

    he indicates he knows how it really works,
    why continue to hype one side of a played out paradigm over another?

    Interesting. The middle is something you couldn't be further from. You have consistently called anyone who didn't subscribe to your theories and ideology, sheep and, most recently, losers.

    The musician you seek to rally the troops towards your way of thinking is a man by the name of Ted Nugent. Don't expect Eddie Vedder to edge remotely close to your way of thinking- he's far from it. He's not changing because he's inspired by your post (or fearing a really good booing from you in the third section from the stage).

    I don't sell my soul to those I disagree with. I like that the Right disagrees. The world needs dissension to avoid corruption. But no, I would definitely Boo.

    You ask politely to refrain from assumptions.

    Yet , you state that you will "boo" if a music band changes?

    Logic vs emotion is well represented with this request

    And because we will never know each other...we can only base our responses on what is shared on this website. Thus resulting in assumptions.

    So...assume on.

    I think he should just stick to ROCK-N-ROLL....it's waht he does best and trying sell his opinion on politics is not the best idea ...but if you live in La Jolla Ca. and have enough money to as you wish then great but I can not support his politics or ideas.

    ?????? they're political ideas didn't make them rich and famous...it was their music and his voice (one of the best in music over all) and sense you said it "stay home" that could very well happen with many fans and it's a shame because the band is one of the greats, right up there with Zep the Beatles etc. and a bands involvment in ploitics always ends with a memory of their music not their political ideas.

    I just wonder when those that supported Obama will realize that aside from social issues he is essentially a direct extension of George W Bush?

    I wonder why people will support that?
  • Well said!!! The top 3 cities for murder (chicago, detroit, D.C) have the strongest gun control laws. I am so sick of celebrities using there forum to preach! I go to a concert to hear great/live music, not to hear someone rant about their politics!! Eddie, I love your words and your voice but please keep your politics to yourself. You really don't live in the same world as the rest of us do. I am sure that most of you (zealots) out there will be angered by this. Oh well, maybe you don't live in the real world either.

    I actually asked a few people I know if they still support Obama like they did. Most said they liked him way less than before, but still like him more than Bush because Obama didn't lead soldiers to their death in a pointless war (Iraq).

    Ed Vedd is who he is, and that includes someone with a political conscience. If you have a problem with that then don't listen to him, or the band. Stick with ACDC singing about getting drunk and laid instead.

    Pearl Jam are a political band - in part. And if they weren't, then they'd be less interesting and engaging.

    As you were.

    I don't think there are many people that haven't noticed that. Though there is a difference between the two, at least in terms of character and intelligence. One was a bumbling idiot, and an embarrassment. The other can at least put a nice sentence together and present an air of authority and confidence. As for their politics, the U.S political system was hijacked by big business, the religious right, and the Israel lobby, a long time ago.

    You could always go and see Justin Bieber instead. I'm sure he'd make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside with his one-dimensional, non-threatening lyrics, his well-rehearsed, up-beat dance routines, and cherubic little smile.

    Eddies going to do whatever the fuck Eddie wants to do. and he's fucking right. Your pleading makes you come of like a whiney pussy... why do you need eddies validation for your point of you. he thinks you are wrong. grow a pair and deal with it.

    fuckity bye
  • I just got a PM from Eddie and believe it or not, he said he has been really looking at my posts for a long time and he said I made alot of sense, but at this point he cannot change parties in public so he will try to be a closet-libertarian in the upcoming elections. He also said I was right about many things and he said he has to remain in the closet on many of the stances i ask him to take.

    So I responded, Thank you for being humble and honest. I know you are in the spotlight and you cannot change any positions as that will make you look weak and shallow, so I will keep it a little secret between you and I and I will continue to support you and the band. In my heart, I will always know that you are for limiting this damn govt. growth!

    Thanks and God bless you Eddie!

    ?????? they're political ideas didn't make them rich and famous...it was their music and his voice (one of the best in music over all) and sense you said it "stay home" that could very well happen with many fans and it's a shame because the band is one of the greats, right up there with Zep the Beatles etc. and a bands involvment in ploitics always ends with a memory of their music not their political ideas.

    Godfather.

    :lol: When a band's songs drip with a message, albeit a social one ("No Way", W.M.A, Unemployable, Glorified G, Do the Evolution, Green Disease, Jeremy, Better Man, Given to Fly, Rats, Whale Song) or a political one (Bushleauguer, World Wide Suicide, Grievance, Marker in the Sand, Dissident), it is the fans who are fooled into thinking they don't sing about big issues "that they don't want to hear".

    Bottom line, if you don't like the overall politics or social message, stay home. Because their politics actually HAVE made them famous.
