    yeah that's just convenient, lets put it out of sight, so it's out of mind, I am use to that attitude living in America, typical and I expected at least one of these responses, and actually since it relates directly to a song and why it is not played

    Not to speak for on2legs, but I don't sense the comment was meant that way. Just that it's more a political/current event topic.

    Not a bad thing.

    And those of us who frequent AMT are not out of sight :angry:

    I usually send a note to Ed via carrier pigeon. He never answers so I would just let it go. He could just hate me though so you might give it a shot.

    That is a phenomenal question Hank. Where are we supposed to go to find out why a song gets Vaulted? It seems as the Vaulted song I have been chasing for years I always seem to miss by a show or 2.

    Maybe they can start a new forum called Insignificance where we can find this out?

    I guess it depends on the context? Seemed more political but if I misread, apologies offered.

    bootlegger, pigeons are way underrated.

    no I just thought that the reason it hasn't been played was political, and if that is the case, that is hugely disappointing, I guess I figured the band had more of a conscience than that, I always thought human lives were worth more than any political party? I was looking for clarification

    Was wondering this myself lately. This and Grievance are criminally underplayed.

    I would find it very strange if the lack of play has anything to do with political reasons. That's not like the band.

    the whole Binaural album actually, one that many of us fans have a lot of songs we adore, and it is like they don't want to acknowledge it's existence

    yes exactly, that is why I am trying to figure out why it never gets played anymore, because I know why the song was written, and all those reasons then are more so now, so play the song if nothing else make a statement about the need to make love not war

    Aside from a few tracks like Thin Air, Binaural was a pretty dark album.

    Maybe they're just trying to dig on lighter times as they can?

    Hell, I am.

    What? That was pretty big road to try and cross - not even close to my comments here.

    Pearl Jam has a legacy of standing up for what is right, life is not a bed of roses, I guess I could make believe and pretend, if that will make everyone else more comfortable

    They did cancel the NC show. Too far in the past to see?

    Sorry, just not getting you right now. Pretending and making believe?

    Alright.

    we are talking about people losing their lives, their families, their homes and their countries and the United States is largely responsible sorry if you can't comprehend what has been happening

    My belief is that silence and not saying anything is the same as endorsing it morally, you just don't have to catch any flack that way so that is the easy path

    All in all,... it's no one's fault...
    Excuses turn to carbon walls...
    Blame it all on chemical intercourse.

    The swallowed seeds of arrogance...
    Breeding in the thoughts of ten...
    Thousand fools that fight Irreverance.

    The full moon is dead skin...
    The one down here's wearing thin...
    So set up... the ten pins.
    As the human tide rolls in...
    Like a ball that's spinning.

    Bombs,... dropping down....
    Overhead,... underground...
    It's instilled...to wanna live.

    Bombs,... dropping down,...
    Please forgive,..our hometown...
    In our insignificance

    Turn the jukebox up, he said...
    Dancing in irreverence...
    Play C-3,... let the song protest.

    The plates began to shift...
    Perfect lefts come rolling in...
    I was alone,... and far away, hey..
    When I heard the band start playin'
    On the lip...late take off

    Bombs,.. dropping down...
    Overhead,.. underground...
    It's instilled...to wanna live.

    Bombs,... dropping down,...
    Please forgive... our hometown...
    In our insignificance

    Feel like resonance of distance...
    In the blood...the iron lies
    It's instilled... to wanna live.
