"Fired Up And Ready To Go!"
While the band has not officially endorsed a candidate for Presidency, drummer Matt Cameron has lent his talents to original Obama song "Fired Up and Ready to Go". Written by Seattle-area musicians the Bergevin Brothers, and featuring Reverend Pat Wright and her renowned Total Experience Gospel Choir. Joe Bergevin watched Senator Barack Obama tell a story about one person, Edith Childs, who energized others with a "fired up, ready to go," chant at one of his campaign stops. Inspired by Obama's "One voice can change the world" speech, Joe wrote some lyrics and rough chords then called his brother Jon to help him compose and arrange the song. They named it after Edith's chant. After many phone calls, emails, and sleepless nights, they had assembled the team. Ten days later an epic recording was born with the intention of spreading Obama's hopeful message. Contributors include lead singer Reverend Pat Wright and her renowned Total Experience Gospel Choir, drummer Matt Cameron from Pearl Jam, lead singer Jake Bergevin, other top studio musicians, sound engineers, video teams, photographers, caterers, local news teams and a renovated theater with recording studio.

Nice work, Matt!
All that I once held as true
I stand alone without beliefs
The only truth I know is you.

"To is a preposition.
Come is a verb"
Obama is a nice guy, but never discusses policy. If he thinks he can just 'get by' on this HOPE thing he is sadly mistaken. The only change he and the democrats want is the change from your pocket. Tell ya what, the gov't takes too much as it is, and they waste it on absurd spending programs and pork barrel projects. I do not want a nanny-state big time federal gov't forcing me to hand over more of my hard earned $ so they can blow it on entitlement programs and bridges to nowhere.
Of course we all want nothing more than for billary to go away.

at least they are consistent in supporting candidates with absolutely no experience...further confirming that rock stars live in their own bubble of a world.
as for the rest of us who live in the real world during real time...
anyone on here who is old enough to vote...i hope you are smart enough to do your own research on the candidates and watch the debates to make your personal decisions. kids who cant yet vote...dont let anyone...including any band...try to brainwash you to think "their" choice is the right one. dont be a blind follower
wake me up when pearl jam either puts out another record or decides to tour
To find an approach and a way to live
Are we getting something out of this
all-encompassing trip?
if not obama id go for mccain before i went with hilary... i actually wouldnt be opposed to a split ticket pres/VP this time around since none of them really amaze me... anyone care to speculate who those that are left would choose as their running mate? (i ask only because i really dont know)
http://seanbriceart.com/
talk about living in a bubble... :rolleyes:
BTW I hate this song....
Barack Obama who wants to continue the racist war on drugs. Barack Obama who never says anything about the Federal Reserve system that steals from the workers to pay the 1000 richest corporations.
Just another wolf in sheeps clothing. Hey what do you expect they're just musicians. I wonder who Eddie is leaning for? I always thought he was the brains but if he is also supporting Obama? I have to wonder. Stone damn, he's supporting Obama, too? I thought these guys were paying attention and gave a crap?
Ron Paul is the only candidate left that is not corrupt and/or insane.
Non partisan judicial watch.

8. Senator Barack Obama (D-IL): A “Dishonorable Mention” last year, Senator Obama moves onto the “ten most wanted” list in 2007. In 2006, it was discovered that Obama was involved in a suspicious real estate deal with an indicted political fundraiser, Antoin “Tony” Rezko. In 2007, more reports surfaced of deeper and suspicious business and political connections It was reported that just two months after he joined the Senate, Obama purchased $50,000 worth of stock in speculative companies whose major investors were his biggest campaign contributors. One of the companies was a biotech concern that benefited from legislation Obama pushed just two weeks after the senator purchased $5,000 of the company’s shares. Obama was also nabbed conducting campaign business in his Senate office, a violation of federal law.
