    Fans of quality songwriting do. No more songs like 'No More' and 'World Wide Suicide'.

    So because a song is political means that its not a good, well written song? Like good songwriters throw all their talent out the window when writing political songs? RIIIIIIIIIIGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHTTTTTTTTT....
    {if (work != 0) {
    work = work + 1;
    sleep = sleep - work * 10;}
    else if (work >= 0) {
    reality.equals(false);
    work = work +1;
    }system("pause");
    return 0;}

    Why shouldn't anyone, including artists, keep up their vigilance of important affairs that matter to them, even if there's a new guy in charge?

    youre an idiot..


    I don't think it would be possible for No More to be a good song regardless of the subject matter. And I didn't see the original poster say all political songs were badly written, you put those words in his mouth. Next time you call someone an idiot, try to remember the apostrophe in you're.

    I kinda agree with the OP, I find the liberal political views of multi millionaires very boring. I love Eddie, but I don't need to know how he votes.

    Laughs, and I just watched that Vote For Change? movie in it's entirety last night and thought how much I missed hearing the song "I Am a Patriot." What a terrific song. Same with the political bent that "It's Okay" took on in 2006 at The Gorge. Great fucking tune.

    That said, I too hope that they new administration makes us all a little happier about the direction of the country and then maybe we all can focus on other things.

    Pearl Jam has always been a political band, and they will always be a political band.
    If you don't like them talking politics, don't go to their concerts. I'm sick of people complaining about it. They're not a jukebox, they're a band, and they have a right to their opinions!

    I also wish separately, that we could tally how many times Bill Clinton was referred to as William Jefferson Clinton, and how many times the first George Bush, Sr. was referred to as George Herbert Walker Bush, and how many times did we refer to his son as George Walker Bush.

    Do you have a problem with the fact that his middle name is Hussein? If so, why does it bother you? I'm just wondering.

    Was that a slam on liberals? Would it be different for you if they weer conservative views? Would that suite you better? I am just trying to figure out where you complaint actually lies.

    It would be just as tainted whatever the views. I have no desire to know how anyone else votes, least of all a rock and roll star. I've seen Robert Plant come out with the same stuff, I adore Plant even more than I adore Ed, and believe me I scoot off to the bar as soon as Percy starts with his Bush...blah, blah.
    It wouldn't 'suite' me either way dude :) I just like the songs they sing.

    yeah, they have every right to their opinions. But I don't agree that they have always been a political band, or even that they are a political band now. They didn't seem at all political to me in 1992 in London, when Eddie dived on our heads during the mid section of Porch. They just seemed like the best new rock band I'd heard for a good few years, and that's what I think of them as. A great rock and roll band :)

    Then go away and you won't know. Ed is always gonna let you know so either deal with it or just scamper.

    Ed is still gonna write political songs, and how and the hell does anyone like Pearl Jam but can't stand Pearl Jam's political forwardness. Jesus fuckin' Christ, that's some funny ass shit, that's like someone who likes porn but hates seeing people naked. You sir make about as much sense as Sarah Palin.

    ...ah ha...you showed your hand buddy :D barely a round of betting done and you've shown it.
    One day you wil realise that politicians are pretty much all so far up their own arses that they couldn't really give a shit for anything but their own profile, popularity, salary, place in history.
    Go about your business, make your living, enjoy some music along the way.
    And please don't keep going on about PJ being some huge political band :D Ed's writing has probably suffered if anything, since he became obsessed with politics earlier this decade. He was much more powerful when he concentrated on things he knew about or had experienced of, like human emotions...

    Kiss arse? Are you a total complete moron or are you just drunk. :) I am a democrat and I love hearing anyone bash republicans and your boy George Bush. I think it's funny to see all you people cry after hearing Ed say this stuff for 17 years. It cracks me up. If you have not been a fan for more than a year you get a pass, but Ed has done this for years and years, get a clue dude, he's not gonna stop. And the kiss arse thing is what everyone says to try and make yourself feel better because we are enjoying the hell out of what Ed says and sings about, and you can't enjoy it because you are up George Bush's ass.


    I feel sorry for you, I wish you could enjoy Pearl Jam like me.

    you're mental, I have no care for Bush, Blair, Brown, Obama....they're politicians, career politicians, they want power...that is all :) they have no care or regard for the likes of you and me, only when they are selling their votes.
    and as for you my friend, I will not get into an argument with anyone, and this is an actual rule of mine, who use the invisible mode :)
    I don't trust anyone who uses the invisible mode unless they can explain to me why .
    and, btw, I have been a fan since way back...all the way actually...just I don't find this Porch place a very friendly place to hang out . it's full of ridiculous arse kissers and poster nerds :)

    I love Pearl Jam :)

    I agree nothing will change over night. But with this one new man, comes an entirely new cabinet/administration. And with that can come a new direction for this country, and that can affect the rest of the world. It will take patience though.
