    Please don't ban me, lol.

    Whenever an issue comes up on this board about eating meat, or perceptions of reality. People say "like Eddie" as if Eddie Vedder is a model of everything that's right and just.

    I hate to say this but Mr. Vedder is a mere mortal, a simple human being like the rest of us. His experiences have lead him to be what he is. If Mr. Vedder does not eat meat, does not mean that eating meat is bad, just means he thinks it is. I've never read a thesis by Mr. Vedder, but I imagine it would be three or four word phrases followed by "..." which could easily be sung to music.

    People on this board idolize him like he's the epitome of good. Ironically, people also mock others who idolize Brittney Spears or the like.

    Mr. Vedder, you are a great artist, a very intuitive individual and a symbol of our era. Your portrait will be hung in the halls of my mansion adjacent to Kurt Cobain. Yet, Einstein and Darwin will be found elsewhere.

    Good Day.
    Good Points all around, on all your posts. I totally agree. No Eddie is not a God, but he is a leader in a sense, hence why he's such a good "front man" :) He inspires a lot of people, myself included, but should be a clear distinction between agreeing with his ideas because you feel the same way and agreeing just because Eddie Vedder said it and I've seen people do both. Anyway, i could go on and on. I'd also like to add that i've enjoyed reading everyones posts on here, i think this is one of the better threads that i've seen. No one's been outwardly rude or negative... yet ;) hopefully we can keep it that way. :)

    I appreciate the artistic beauty of both Pearl Jam and Nickelback, but not so much Nickelback.

    Well, neither of them are any match for Tom Schultz and Boston, or Nazareth, or Led Zeppelin.

    I love Incubus, Sick Sad Little World, Megalomaniac, Pardon Me. Even that song they did under a different name, shit can't remember it. "Falling Behind" or something.

    Maybe it's a different band, I recall reading it was the same, or at least same singer. Sounds the same.

    Rather than:

    does anyone here say "i think this way because eddie vedder <or anyone else for that matter> does" ?

    Yeah but you can't tell me that some people aren't politically influenced in one way or another by Eddie.

    That's why you see people with the little political quotes at the bottom of their posts by Eddie.

    What can you expect though when combining an ignorant rock star and impressionable young kids, a perfect combination for brain washing.
