    Out of the most played songs by PJ, it ranks 22nd. They probably got burned out playing it which is a common theme with PJ. It will probably come back into rotation when TRUMP is elected POTUS and invades Mexico.

    he's not invading Mexico, that doesn't even make any sense

    Really not hard to see this.. Barry was at his crib in flip flops and Hillary bases her campaign on following in Barry's footsteps and Barry supports Hilary..Ed has positioned himself in the inner circle of POTUS..you don't think he likes that? ed enjoys the A list celebrity circles and power families..the Clintons will be no different..but what the fuck ever happened to insignificance???

    No doubt there is value in all human life.
    Yes, Insignificance should be played more often - The version on Letterman was incredible.
    A great song, but it's like Betterman - the deep meaning/message has become a little lost and has turned into a crowd favorite.

    Go read Sea's rundown of the shows this tour. He has said plenty of Trump and said good things about Bernie. I haven't read most of them, but he hasn't said anything about being a Hillary supporter. And if so, it changes my mind of him. So, I don't automatically write him off as a supporter of Hillary's.

    Got thrown in the same pile with all the other insignificant filler tracks that overstayed their welcome during the album's tour and the couple of tours following it.

    filler tracks? obviously much different tastes in music, that sounds like a standard canned response, according to your logic, they view the whole Binaural album as filler tracks, that's beyond dumb
    Hank... You seem to be really argumentative with people in this thread. Which kind of follows the pattern of your visits here. You start off mellow, then start a bunch of threads where you get frustrated with people and then you post that you're done with the boards for good. Why not ease off the accelerator a little and pace yourself here. Stick around awhile and enjoy this place.
    whatever dude, name me one song on Binaural that gets played regularly anymore?
    Wait, are you miffed about your view that Binaural songs are not being played (I recall quite a few in recent shows - Of the Girl opener, even!) or the lack of one song in particular for political purposes?
    are you listening to the same shows I am? It has been played 7 times total since 2010, including one time in 2015, and one time in 2016
    7 times in 6 years isn't bad for one of the worst songs in the catalog.

    It's not that great a song. The album version is better than any live version so far. It's one that could use a mostly permanent rest. It's not Force of Nature man, come on.

    It may have been a little bit of a hit if there was a party you could sing along to. You can't. That's why the single went nowhere, for example. I do really like the middle though, but it's best left off stage.

    Yea, it definitely belongs in the bottom of the catalog. Binaural as a whole is a weak album.

    Whats the point of being politically active if you just blindly through your support behind one political party or the other ... Especially when all political parties are corrupt.

    And your answer to this is? Say nothing at all?

    I never say nothing you can still be politically active ... Just don't support a corrupt system.

    I will reserve judgement then, but Trump is already positioning himself to the left of Hillary for trade and military action for the general election, and those are my top 2 issues, so I may have no other choice, unless Bernie pulls out a miracle, or Hillary gets indicted

    Hillary was the muscle that got NAFTA passed, she worked behind the scenes, and it would not have passed without her efforts

    At the risk of being redundant I'll say it again- the choice is easy, folks:

    You can vote for a woman who is pretending (vaguely) to be moderate to liberal Democrat or
    You can vote for a man who is pretending to be a Republican politician or
    You can vote for the one person who wants to work to create changes that will benefit the average woman and man in America, motivate us to movie away from being a war-like people and assist in creating a healthier environment (Bernie Sanders, of course).

    As for Ed, he's a smart enough guy. I'm hoping he has this figured out.

    Amen, I wish he had endorsed Bernie, he is the only one I want to vote for other than Jill Stein, but unless she can get her message out there, not sure how she can get more than 2 or 3%

    Stein would be my first choice too, Hank. Apparently America isn't ready for someone that good yet. Bernie is the best choice of the three top runners by a mile. No, make that by about 2,475 miles (NY to LAX) plus the other captured territories.
