I'm just another one of you with a different point of view, on political, and social issues. Not to popular, amongst liberals and progressives that's fine.
But I can say hey we agree on one thing.

Not saying you should, but to throw it out there...take a deep breath, think it through, try not to jump to conclusions (initial post didn't even get what the reasoning behind the art was, but ready to bail).
Do what you need to...just hope you can treat this band, along with others, with the same open-mindedness as you would wish for yourself.
I'm not outraged or pissed off not at all. I'm still a PJ fan for life (got my Wrigley Field bootlegs on the way finally, waiting for them to announce some US tour dates Maybe in 2018) just thought this would be a fun topic for a Saturday evening. I'm not nearly as wacky or outraged as I made myself out to be. I have kind of a dry sense of humor I guess. And if this topic caused the flags to sell out quicker than they would have, that's great.
"I'm about done with this band of 26 years". yeah, that's hilarious. surely meant in jest.

RYME said:I'm not outraged. I'm not going to boycott the band or anything.
But this flag that they created is classless and disrespectful.
I don't care what cause this is for, subtracting 15 stars, using a lighter blue and adding black stripes to the American flag is totally disrespectful to the United States.
Would you do this to the Canadian flag?
Take it & Make the Maple Leaf light blue & add black vertical stripes next to the red vertical stripes and slap a banner across the bottom saying Pearl Jam Seattle Washington.
Would you do this to Japan's Rising Sun flag? Put a light blue dot In the center of the red crimson disc so that it looks like a target, or would you add a yellow and light blue Ribbon around the red crimson disc and slap the banner across the bottom Pearl Jam Seattle Washington?
The answer to these two questions is no they would not do that because it would be disrespected to those countries, and those countries flags.
Only to the United States flag is this looked upon as cool and artistic in some circles. To me it is the same as the NFL players who stand for the Mexican national anthem and then a sit for ours. Stand for the British national anthem, and then sit for ours.
Why is it the lefties and hippies love, adore, and respect every Nation on this planet except our own United States?
Guess what? no one cares.Hugh Freaking Dillon is currently out of the office, returning sometime in the fall0 -
