But there can never be resolution to this kind of discussion because we've seen the same set of arguments every which way about this band. So let the facts stand for themselves: Early on, Pearl Jam was young, wild and had a degree of socio-political flavor to their energetic bravado. Mid period, they honed their craft and became a better band and presented a more clear message. Later on they became middle-aged, family-oriented and began to move to the center politically and became more polished but less creative artistically. Sometimes this happens, sometimes not (for example, the likes of Neil Young and John Lydon have maintained a socio-political tendency in much of their art). And we all get to choose our flavor.
I like all kinds of music and respect any artist that gives it their best at every turn (Pearl Jam included) but I always rue the loss or quieting of strong outspoken voices or having them just rest on their laurels. I hope that isn't the case here.
3 individuals of the same band in attendance AT a fundraiser doesn't mean the band is doing or hosting a fundraiser FOR said candidate.
The missoula concert on the otherhand WAS fundraiser hosted by the band.
theres a difference.
3 individual members of the band however showed their support by attending. NOT PEARL JAM as a band._____________________________________SIGNATURE________________________________________________

$250 probably got people one cocktail in a room with a thousand other people. $27,000 probably got people a seat at a small dinner table behind closed doors when cocktails were over.0 -

Being an artist doesn't make them more qualified but if an artist speaks about a political message with their music, painting, film, etc. and this message resonates with millions of people then if they feel the need to garner support for a cause of course they are going to speak publicly.Who Princess said:
But fans tend to overlook the fact that people who become professional musicians hope to make a living at it and many ultimately hope to make a fortune. That aspect of popular music has always been there but for some reason people want to believe their idols are above all that.PJ_Soul said:Absolutely. I don't understand how so many people forgot so quickly that rock and roll is supposed to be a subversive art form.
It's hard for me to understand being upset that the musicians somebody likes don't share their political and social points of view. I can still like someone's music even I don't like their politics. Being an artist doesn't make someone more qualified to make political judgements.0 -

Which is fine. But just because I like their music doesn't mean that I have to buy into their political beliefs, nor do I have reason to be disappointed if they don't support my causes. You're also assuming that as a listener I understand their message in the first place. Look at all the people who thought Born in the USA is a patriotic song.eddiec said:

The point I was trying to make and didn't very well is that no matter how altruistic or philanthropic the artist may appear to be, they are still trying to make money with their work. Whether fans like it or not, Pearl Jam is a business. If you don't think so, take a look in the shop at this site or the miles long lines at the merch booths at shows. As far as I know, the guys don't give away all their money to charities and causes. It's their money; they can do what they want with it, but don't expect me to believe they should spend it in a certain way because of political statements they've made in the past.

Agreed. The notion of global peace is utopian. Sounds good. Something we can strive for in an effort to make things better. But realistically will never, ever happen.

It's absolutely possible, although not easy. It's a fact that we're already at the point where people get along more than they don't. Because of this, international peace is possible and I believe will happen someday. Because of human ability to grow and change, referencing the past is not proof of out future.jeffbr said:

First off who anointed the US as the world police and decider of what good democracy stands for. I'm witnessing your fake pathetic democracy at work everyday...nothing to be proud of or no reason to promote your democracy throughout the world, it's not that great if these candidates are the best you can do out of 330 + million people. Isn't your military budget bigger than the next 22 countries or so combined? Why is that? It's not for defence, the nuclear weapons are your defence against attack. I would think after constant war in the Middle East and with the conclusion of one conflict another hotspot arises in the region and sometimes even worse than before someone would want try another approach, like getting the fuck out and quit using drones and machinery of war on innocent people...and leave the Middle East to their own devices, they'll either figure it out or they won't, their choice.Go Beavers said:

When will this happen? I obviously completely disagree with your premise, and we will never be able to definitively resolve this. So I guess I'll just say that I hope you're right, but I don't believe it for one second.Go Beavers said:

It'll take awhile. We'll be dead and gone. I see people resolve things peacefully all the time. Now visualize that happening in the broader realm. Global conflict is still the choice of humans. Emphasis on choice.jeffbr said:
