    Yea, like me, I don't have a college degree, but I know what Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis and Dermatofibrosarcomaprotuberance are. Ok, that doesn't prove anything I guess.

    Im sure he does too. Im just saying, the cheap shots aren't necessary. The guy has an opinion that obviously is not a popular one. But it's his opinion. Speak to the topic rather than insult the guy...

    A university degree does not mean one is intelligent. But is does attest to the fact that one is educated in at least one field of study and is capable of learning. You cannot assume this of an educated person.

    I was speaking to the person who was attacking the poster for having an "eight grade education." Totally unnecessary.

    Personally, I like PJ's political views more than there music. If you can believe that.

    I think they're one and the same thing. They have to be if he's being honest about his art. His words are his words. They come from the same place as his politics. I don't, however, think that Pearl Jam are a political band in the vein of, say, The Dead Kennedys or Crass, as i believe that their message - if they in fact have one - transcends politics. It doesn't end at politics, because it's bigger and brighter, and wider than mere politics (politics in the strict/literal sense of the word - because of course, everything is politics to a degree. Every human relationship is politics). Pearl Jam are true artists, and art will always transcend politics.

    I think it's pretty plain that every human being is capable of learning. I can't even believe that we're discussing Ed's intelligence. It's absurd. He doesn't need to be a fucking professor to have an imagination and/or a valuable opinion.
