i can't help laughing when i see Bushleaguer live lol
awesome
So that is how I learned the lesson that everyone is alone. And your eyes must do some raining if you are ever going to grow. But when crying don't help and you can't compose yourself. It is best to compose a poem, an honest longing or simple song of hope.
That is why I'm singing
Yes!! seeing it live is amazing ,I love it. So much feeling and truth ,Ed puts into it,I saw it at Sendai Japan on Feb 28th 2003!!!!
One of the happiest days of my life --It rates up there with the days my children were born on!!! Soooooooo Exciting !!
I cant wait for the chance to see them again ,either here in Japan or in the UK!!!!!
Saw 'Bu$hleaguer' performed live in Clarkston,MI at DTE Energy Music Theatre and about lost my fuckin' MIND!!! there's always a song or two that I'm looking forward to hearing live and the guys came through BIGtime! Anyone fortunate enough to see Pearl Jam play this song live is in fact very priveleged...I just hope it doesn't fall by the wayside...one of their most powerful songs on the album IMO...
'He's not a LEADER...he's a TEXAS LEAGUER...
swingin' for the fence...makes the job simple...
born on third, thinks he got a triple.
Blackout weaves its way through the city...
I remember when you sang that song about TODAY...
now it's TOMORROW...
and EVERYTHING has changed.'
Originally posted by katellis oh man..when ed came out withe mask on in toronto i about peed my pants out of excitement..i stood up on my chair (for just a sec) and SCREAMED MY LUNGS OUT..it was truly an awesome moment.
I had exactly the same reaction! The mask, omg, the mask, what a great accessory for a brilliant song. What an awesome night that was.
I think many Americans would be suprised at how supportive we (Canadians) are of the movement against Bu$h...not that we are the only ones of course... I am soooo looking forward to being a part of the Vote for Change tour. I love this band's 'politics', always have. Anyone who listened to Ed's live radio broadcasts in the, um, late 80s/early 90s, couldn't help but be moved by his passion for rights and freedoms and his compassion for all (not to mention the great music).
"Everything has changed, absolutely nothing's changed".
Greetings fellow Leaguer lover! Love the name. Representing to the MAX.
Yeah I hear ya, this song is awesome. I swear, I wasn't even in the "FULL" know till I saw it live...then it was just OVER. SOLD! CAN I HAVE ANOTHER!? LOL! The song just takes it all to another level something fierce live! The message, the vibe, YES..>THAT RIFF< Looooove it!! Cathcy as HELL! Frickin Stoney man...he's unstoppable! And what Ed brings to the table is just classic. There's humor but also such power.
Said it before and I'll say it again........

I know what you're saying about it live... It's a bonus feature on the Live at the Garden DVD; and it's truly amazing.. especially with the George Bush mask with a cigarette hanging out of its mouth, and a red glow from it's eyes...
"A confidence man, so why so beleaguered? He's not a leader, he's a Texas leaguer..."
These dance moves are hilarious. The things that man is doing to his body and that mask. LMAO!!! And that silver jacket?!!? Again, looooooovin it.
The one shot where Ed is in a blue t-shirt just doggin the hell outta the mask?!? LOL!! And then he goes from being mad, to completely digusted and then he just gives up and shakes his head in utter confusion. LOL! OMG it's the best!! Also love all the "impaled" close ups. haha.
YES!
THANK YOU PEARL JAM...for this song, for this montage...and for BEING YOURSELVES AND LETTING YOUR VOICES BE HEARD...regardless.

The showbox version is awesome too! Hell...every damn version is! The magic is always present.
Seriously, can't praise the boys enough for this one.
If ya can't feel it and appreciate it....sorry for ya.

I love this song too. I still hate Geroge Bu$h - his domestic policies, his attitude to climate change, he's still a prize A cunt for me and I'll always have time for this song.

What are your opinions/thoughts regarding some of the references in Bushleaguer?
What does onion skin plausibility refer to? What about 'that song about today'? and of course 'columbus decanter'
...i await!

Today by the Smashing Pumpkins?
Yeah, I was thinking the exact same thing. Of course both bands toured back in 91' 92 so Ed would have had a lot of exposure to the song. It might also have referred to all the momenteum that came with Clinton coming into the Whitehouse. It just seems strange that Ed would refer to something like that...
Would I also be off the wall to suggest that Bushleaguer is similar to I Believe in Miracles at a slower tempo? Finally, does the "Blackout" refer to the power outage experienced by the Great Lakes region a few summers ago? Or is it used in a different context?
