Bushleaguer Gone Forever??

AmentsChick

I'm wondering if now that Bush is out of office...will they discontinue playing Bushleaguer? I hope not! I love this lil gem! (I'll especially miss the mask!)

I don't like Bush, but I kinda hate this song.

*don't hurt me!*

Got this song in 2006 in Denver. Was totally psyched. It was awesome. Sadly I doubt it will be played again.

if they tour in 2009 ... I bet they play it as a "victory tour" type of celebration ... a dedication if you will ...

ive always wanted to see a show where he wears the mask and sings the song...closest I came was NJ I 06 but they played Leash instead; still a funny dialogue

Bush still has a few months to go so if there are any suprise gigs come up then its still all good!

I'm pretty sure Bushleaguer is a term that doesn't necissarily mean George Bush, and the lyrics can apply to anyone, so I'm sure we'll hear it again,.. but it will become a rarity.

well in all honesty, I don't think so, but who knows?? I was lucky enough to see Arc played the 2nd of 9 times and that was supposed to be the idea of how many times the song would be played. Ed Played it on his solo shows a few times, so I guess we will see. Politically speaking though, It wouldn't make sense to play Bushleager anymore since he is out of office come January. But I guess it's possible.

As_it_seems

One sunny day in January, 2009 an old man approached the White House from across Pennsylvania Avenue, where he'd been sitting on a park bench. He spoke to the U.S. Marine standing guard and said, "I would like to go in and meet with President Bush."
The Marine looked at the man and said, "Sir, Mr. Bush is no longer president and no longer resides here."
The old man said, "Okay", and walked away.
The following day, the same man approached the White House and said to the same Marine, "I would like to go in and meet with President Bush."
The Marine again told the man, "Sir, as I said yesterday, Mr. Bush is no longer president and no longer resides here."
The man thanked him and, again, just walked away.
The third day, the same man approached the White House and spoke to the very same U.S. Marine, saying "I would like to go in and meet with President Bush."
The Marine, understandably agitated at this point, looked at the man and said, "Sir, this is the third day in a row you have been here asking to speak
to Mr. Bush. I've told you already that Mr. Bush is no longer the president and no longer resides here. Don't you understand?"
The old man looked at the Marine and said, "Oh, I understand. I just love hearing it."
The Marine snapped to attention, saluted, and said, "See you tomorrow, Sir."

don't worry...in a year or two he'll be singing Obama-leager instead.



How does he do it? How do they do it? Uncanny and immutable.
This is such a happening tailpipe of a party.
Like sugar, the guests are so refined, (look like melting m and ms)

A confidence man, but why so beleaguered?
He's not a leader, he's a Illinois leaguer
Swinging for the fence, got lucky with a strike
Drilling for fear, makes the job simple
Born on third, thinks he got a triple

Blackout weaves its way through the cities
Blackout weaves its way through the cities
Blackout weaves its way,...

I remember when you sang
That song about today
Now it's tomorrow and
Everything has changed

A think tank of aloof multiplication
A nicotine wish and a Columbus decanter
Retrenchment and hoggishness
The aristocrat choir sings
'What's the ruckus?'
The haves have not a clue
The immenseness of suffering
And the odd negotiation, a rarity
With onionskin plausibility of life,...
And a keyboard reaffirmation

Blackout weaves its way through the cities
Blackout weaves its way through the cities
Blackout weaves its way,...

I remember when you sang
That song about today
Now it's tomorrow and
Everything has changed

but not for the better
sure as my last name is Vedder
I couldn't see through your disguise
I can't believe i swallowed all your lies
I supported you,you were my homie
But you're just as useless as Crazy Breed told me

Now it's tomorrow and everything has changed.

Big Ed

I've got i as a ringtone on my Verizon Wireless phone (shameless plug, SELLOUT!) so I can hear it whenever, wherever.

Fighting Hellfish

I'm glad I got to hear it a few times, including the infamous Nassau Coliseum Debacle. i really like the song. (But don't worry, I won't hurt people that don't like it)

They'll soon have a song called Obamanation, inspired by the microchips we'll be required to have in 2 years after the next large "terror" attack or mass panic.

LIBERTY or DEATH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No more Bushleaguer, no problem. I saw it live at Uniondale 03, that was enough for me. I dislike the soon to be ex-pres just a little bit more than I dislike that song.

And I take you didn't vote so you could avoid participating in this false system of control?

i voted but not for McCain or Obama...i was more concerned with the local issues anyway.

LiteTheMatch

I voted for George W. Bush. I think he and his people are the rightful owners of this cuntry, and whoever disagrees is unpatrotic and un-American.

celebration

Saw it go down a couple of times. EV can be a very funny man, at times

I'd be happy to see the song die, and forget this past bad history

Loved the show review when they said ev "impaled" gw's head(the mask) on a mic stand, and people booed...damn, that's funny stuff

and the glitter jacket doing the shuffle...i will miss that, for sure.

ruggs1996

I think they will play it even more now that he's out of office..
