    This tree idea is fantastic! I'll get this going with my friends and family right away...I'll try to contact our local news stations about this movement and see if we can get some national exposure!

    why would you want to love someone that refuses to love you back??
    get over this obsession. they don't like the south, they are not going to
    play the south.

    move on, find another band to pester.
    I hear creed is planning a comeback.

    I don't see why they wouldn't try. I don't see it like a relationship, but rather more like a runner who wants to run a certain distance in a certain time. With dedication, stamina, and courage one day that runner will run that certain distance within that certain time.

    Aren't you the one to answer that? I'm still waiting for Scandanavia.

    Shouldn't all these play-the-south threads be merged or something?

    Being from Philly, and having a chance to see them multiple times within an hour's drive this past tour, you might want to put yourself into someone's shoes who hasn't had that chance. A little empathy for our Southern brothers and sisters in the Jamily would be nice. The Plant a Tree movement is a good thing. Let's not crap on it.

    I give empathy for people losing loved ones, getting laid off or getting stationed in Iraq. Not someone in Alabama who didn't get to see Pearl Jam for the 5th time.

    thats easy for you to say because of where you live, and besides that fact your post is a terrible way to spin what what we are trying to do here...its not that we don't care about those issues, but this is the PEARL JAM board so you would expect topics on Pearl Jam discussed here? right?

    I feel for you guys. That's why I think whatever you all decide to do should be coordinated and supported by as many people as possible. Let them know that the entire PJ Nation South is behind this. A letter writing campaign won't be good enough if there are only a couple of hundred participants. Look what happened with Brazil - so many people signed a petition that the band had to take notice (Ed himself said that after seeing all those names they figured it was time to go down there). Whatever you decide to do, make sure everyone is on the same page and everyone participates. That's how it will be most effective.
