there seems to be more and more liberal spew each tour, and with this year being an election year, i"m guessing eddie will have something to say, so who else is tired of it???

so basically shut up and sing? allrighty then.
I don't know if you've actually LISTENED to a PJ record since 1994 but they're all pretty intensly political.
what fuels ed's music is what is on his mind. it's all expression and in my view, part of the deal.
Pearl jam should agree to do one album about banging groupies behind a tour bus just to appease the "anti politics" crowd.
works for Aerosmith. They're making the worst music of their career and couldn't be more popular.
HEYO!
aha. i feel like i really shouldn't have laughed at that, but...i did.
I thought the world...Turns out the world thought me
Not I.
If you don't like it, stop taking up seats.

Probably doesn't hurt that I subscribe to many of the things Eddie expounds.
I personally don't care for the long rants but I'm not going to complain when he brings up political stuff - just make a point and let it go... if that makes sense.
That being said I'm there for the music (to answer the 'If you don't like it, why are you a fan of the band?' statement) - not the over-the-top rants. But to be fair during the 04 VFC tour there wasn't THAT much ranting in-between. He did a good job of getting his points in and then moving on... short but sweet.
They kinda go hand in hand.
Youre not going to AC/DC concerts....this is Pearl Jam.
I think if you are going to any of the shows, you should not only expect it, but somewhat enjoy it, because if you dont really mesh with their beliefs its kinda hard to mesh with a lot of their music.
Nuclear fission
I figured this is why we're actually seeing this little tour.
Uh, if that is true, there are definitely varying degrees of scum. McCain is way more evil than Obama...realistically, those are the two choices. I will vote for the less evil of the two.
I dont know how some of you conservatives do it. If Ed started supporting (through song and words) the Bush/McCain regime, there is no way I would continue to be such a big fan. Although it would be interesting to hear him write songs promoting lying to the public and killing people in a serious fashion.
And for those of you who will be going home because you are "sick of the politics" can you tell me on your way by so I can move up into your seats?
National Healthcare certainly has good intention behind it, I can't fault him or other Democrats for that, but it just won't work. Subsidizing insurance costs is only the first stage of his plan. He eventually wants to nationalize the entire system, like Canada. The quality of the healthcare will be significantly reduced, the traditional government bureaucracy will overrun the system causing extensive waits and backups for surgeries and doctor visits, medical breakthroughs will hardly ever occur in the United States anymore, doctors will no longer be private practicing, they'll be government employees earning much less than they are now; all of these things are fostered by competition between businesses which would be eliminated by National Healthcare. By no means do I think I deserve good healthcare just because I have the ability to pay while others get nothing. I just don't think this is the solution.

Obama's a standup guy though... really... he's the second coming...
I don't have the same ideology as the band, but it is nice to hear people speaking up for their beliefs. It isn't as though you go to a show and hear more political talk than music.

Come is a verb"
These arguments are weak. Guilt by association when there is no reason to believe that Ayers or Wright have ever had any influence on his political beliefs. Knowing someone, and in the Ayers case simply having him as a neighbor at one point, means nothing. And if Obama had any shady dealings with Rezko, we have have known of them by now.
I have to say, I respect you. You and I may not share the same political views, but we dont have to. And you seem like a very wise person who is clued into how this government works and what it stands for. I applaud you for being honest and respectful to all individuals. There should be more people like you in this world.

-my dad after hearing Not for You for the first time on SNL .
He worked on committees with Ayers... i beleive Ayers held Obama's first fundraiser at his house as well.
You can just try and pass them off if you'd like... but there's a reason you associate yourself with people. Because you share common interests, etc. Not always just politically, but come on - you can't have your head that deep in the sand already can you?
