New Rolling Stone: Ed's idol is a hawk?

Pete Townshend quotes in new Rolling Stone:

"Peace is something that has to be made. It doesn't come from passivity."

In regards to Bush haters..."He fucking is not a fucking bad man."

Funny that Rolling Stone didn't follow up with any questions to those comments. Doesn't fit with their agenda I guess. I do remember them asking Bono the same question three times trying to get him to say something bad about Bush. It's funny. They even turned a review of "Friday Night Lights" into a negative Bush piece.

Somehow I've got this trash sent to me in my name, so I gotta cancel it.

WARNING: Don't fall off the Who bandwagon as fast as you jumped on the Incubus bandwagon after Megalomaniac.

    Hell, 9 out of the 10 worst congressman in the new episode were Republican. The one Democrat being William Jefferson who was all over the news for taking bribes. How can people pay attention to this biased shit? Like there isn't more than one dirty Democrat in the whole bunch? The only one they found was thrown to them with all of the news coverage. Way to dig for the "Truth."

    correction: ed's music idol is a hawk.
    it was townsend's music that spoke to ed. not his opinions on the real world.

    Of course Townshend likes the Republicans -- wasnt he arrested and investigated for child porn a couple of years ago?! GOP = Grand Ole Pedophiles.......

    I'm not saying that Townshend is a Bush supporter, his comments don't make that clear. But is he as evil now as those backwoods hillbillies playing 'dat country music?

    You are too clever! First, the play off of Rush Limbaugh's name for your Board name, and then changing Party to Pedophiles. Classic! Dane Cook would be proud of you. Gold star.

    OMG, how can Ed like the music of someone with opposite political views??!! I thought that was impossible...
    The only people we should try to get even with...
    ...are those who've helped us.

    Right 'round the corner could be bigger than ourselves.

    Look around here. A lot of folks admit that if Pearl Jam was a right-leaning band that they would not follow them.

    Because we all know The Who was all about conservative/ rightwing type music.

    Obviously not. And his comments in the magazine don't make him pro-Bush.

    idol??
    ed loved him some johnny ramone . and he was taliban/republican

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johnny_Ramone
    Although never a "closet Republican," (many around him said he was vocal about his opinions), Johnny made his political affiliation known to the world in 2002, when the Ramones were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. After thanking everyone who made it possible — clad in his trademark T-shirt, ripped blue jeans and leather jacket — Johnny said "God bless President Bush, and God bless America," [1]. He said in an interview, when questioned on his conservatism, "I think Ronald Reagan was the best President of our lifetime."

    I'm shocked at this. Pete Townsend always struck me as an even-keeled, logical man.

    But if you "cant possibly be a real Pearl Jam fan " because you disagree with ONE band members political beliefs, how the hell can Ed justify enjoying the music of a CON????!!!!!!



    Good shit. I love irony.

    Edit, already been stated, but still, the point remains.

    Nobody said this. A few have said it would be hard to listen to a group who has political music that was the opposite of our own political view but the Who doesn't have songs that reek of conservatism. See the difference?

    Oh yeah, and the price of a pair of tickets to see the Who.... $400 bucks. Unless you want to sit in no man's land in the back of the Banknorth Garden balcony for $50 a ticket. What a fucking asshole. I guess that goes for Daltrey too.







    Sorry, I've just been wanting to bitch about that, and now seemed like a good time.

    Plenty around here have questioned the reason/ability for someone of conservative leanings being able to enjoy PJ's music. Of which there are MAYBE 5 songs that "reek of liberalism". Do YOU see the idiocy of that?

    I'm not sure where this is going...

    first, how is someone saying Bush is not a 'bad man" make them a 'hawk'

    how does someone saying Bush is not a 'bad man' immediately make them some sort of radical right wing reactionary? Seriously, think about it.

    This type of thing is really getting old to me.
    And you ask me what I want this year
    And I try to make this kind and clear
    Just a chance that maybe we'll find better days
    Cuz I don't need boxes wrapped in strings
    And desire and love and empty things
    Just a chance that maybe we'll find better days
