seeing as Shell Oil is a sponsor of Jazz Fest. Great cause to get behind PJ.

    Please spin it for me. Why is it okay to play Jazz Fest and take money from Shell Oil and also promote Shell Oil's brand? Why not boycott it?

    I don't think they should cancel every performance. But that is why cancelling NC was ignorant of them. They opened themselves up to this criticism. Why is it okay to take money from Shell Oil?

    Pearl Jam should also stop producing music on vinyl LPs as they are a byproduct of oil.

    In fact PJ should stop touring by plane and bus and get themselves a fleet of Teslas to tour in.

    Oh wait it takes oil to produce Teslas

    Damn

    Maybe PJ should tour on foot and only play acoustic instruments that came from natural, organic, free trade ,non-gmo products that died of natural causes.

    Doing those things is the same as playing a festival SPONSORED by Shell?

    I agree. It is done. I think fans expressed enough displeasure on here and elsewhere and it was heard. Carrying it around and crusading does not help.

    I like Shell. I don't know what is is, but the engine in my Honda seems to run a lot happier on Shell gas than most other gas.

    Maybe they should decide what they support and don't

    Let it go...it happened 2 days ago and he just gave a horrible explanation last night and the jazz fest show is the next one. Its still relevant. I mean NOBODY is talking about the boycott anymore in terms of the positive it has done for repealing the law. But when you make a choice like that that has negative ramifications, then you need to live with it for a bit.

    I think its fair for people like me to point out what hypocrites they are. Especially when I was so naive to believe they weren't like that.

    Taking money from Shell Oil is a pretty big example of hypocrisy. I'm fine w/ accepting them as hypocrites (or if they apologized and said they made the wrong decision in cancelling NC). I'd like people blasting those fans for being critical of the band to at least acknowledge they are hypocrites. I don't think that is asking too much.

    sure, i'm a crybaby. i'm also someone calling out the band for being a huge hypocrite. and you are someone that feels compelled to defend the hypocrisy by belittling the messenger. Good job.
