    Masters of War in 2016 Wrigley was one of the best performances I've seen. 1/2 full would be great this year. And let's crank up an angry Leash in Wrigley!

    Who knows what the political situation will even be by summer. Things could be better, things could be much worse.
    Things will get start getting better in November.....

    I'd be surprised if a few political songs don't end up on the next album, whenever that may be.

    YES!  Gimme SomeTruth is a fave, Glorified G also timely!  It’s the passion and depth behind the music and lyrics that inspire me most and why I really love their music.  Whatever moves them to continue to create and tour makes me happy.

    I'm all for Glorified G at every show if it makes progress ....

    but regarding Trump, i've always felt the best way to bug him is to ignore him and focus your energy on quietly undermining his causes through focusing on the next set of elections ... if a band like PJ makes headlines in the news that degrades him it makes him almost as happy as supporting his insanity ... he feeds off his ego and just wants to know people are talking about him even if it's negative stuff ... he's a lot like Kim Jong-un in that way.

    This concludes my political discourse ... and with that, i hope the band plays all my favorite songs at each show this tour without focus on any political agenda and instead continues to focus on messages of equality and inclusion

    The American in Me and Know Your Rights would be spectacular. And to those saying no thanks, they'd have to avoid half of their catalog. Most of their songs have social and political ties.
    It's a hopeless situation...

    Really? Wow, I never knew that, that’s a lot of songs then.
    I'm like an opening band for your mom.

    Yeah, that's why I added in social, which in today's age is every bit political. Straight up in your face political, not many.

    W.M.A. has only been played in full 17 times. Would love see this one get into rotation.

    after barely a political peep at 2016 Wrigley, I think the days of overtly political PJ are over. Was a good run while it lasted!
    Eddie was VERY political at Pilgrimage last September.
