    Did you guys want him to walk there?  Maybe take a sailboat for the European tour?
    Transportation to the gig aside, is it off message for a climate change activist to perform a private show for a private jet company?
    I understand both sides of this argument, but unless you were there you do not know the message Ed was delivering between songs. He conceivably could have used it to discuss climate change with the folks at Netjets who are all probably wealthy and influential.  
    Someone of Ed’s stature is not going to help change the world from his living room. 

    Love the pic with HOFer Chelios! 
    If that is what would pass as climate change activism, it goes a long way in explaining why people are not taking it seriously. 

    And I say all this as someone who is perfectly fine with everything he's doing. My politics on the issue don't necessarily line up with the band's, so it's just strange to see him doing something counter to his position vs. mine.
    I didn’t say that was what he was doing. I was merely pontificating.

    Remember, Ed had a scary stalker situation at one point. Anyone who went through that might not be too eager to sit on a crowded airplane with god knows who. Also, you probably wouldn't want your family sitting on that same crowded airplane. 
    Also he has hundreds of millions of dollars.  He freaking earned the right to fly on a private jet. 
    Just like I earned the right to drive an SUV.
    I love both my suv s. 
    I'll ride the wave where it takes me......

    I’m just glad chelios didn’t give Ed a cheap shot.  Never forget his cheap shot on the Flyers Brian Propp.  Screw him 👎
    Growing up a Hawks fan I liked him....until I met him.  
    I liked him until he became a Red Wing, won the Stanley Cup, then showed up with it at the Ed solo show to rub it in our faces.

    I was sitting right below him at that show.  He held cup down to let us touch it and I refused. 
    Touched it later in time at Richards bar after Hawks won it.
    I am lost, I'm no guide, but I'm by your side

    And I love my Mazda 3 like I loved my Honda Civic before it...but there is no way I would miss the chance to fly on a private jet if I could.

    Nothing says "reduce your carbon footprint" like flying private to an event celebrating private flying. 
    Yep. Gonna be hard to take their inevitable “hey, look how we reduce our carbon footprint” as they start the next tour.

    This may sound like a defense, but we don’t know all the details. If PJ buys carbon offsets for tour, it’s possible Ed does for his NetJets sub (assuming he’s has one - no way the dude can fly commercial). 

    I also imagine he parlays these corporate gigs into relationships that he may call upon later, like for EB, or whatever charity VItalogy foundation is involved with. 

    On its face, this seems out of touch, in reality it’s how the game is played. 

    Someone took a photo of him flying commercial to Florida for the 2016 tour.

    Great, now slap 4 of these songs on a fucking 45 and ship them out as the holiday singles. Problem solved.
    The singles were in production in September. Someone said about it typically takes about six months from production to release.
