When're they supposed to do american idol, by the way?

are you serious, dude? the band ditches labels, records with their producer of choice, and takes charge of their own marketing, and you call them sellouts? if they edited their own music so that wal-mart would carry it, _then_ maybe you could start calling them sellouts, but with your logic, anybody who plays music outside of their own garage is a sellout. hey, if i didn't have to pay for advertisement in order to market my music because someone else wanted to pay me and they didn't require me to edit my art, i'd take that chance in a heartbeat.

receiving a paycheck from people who want to buy what you're selling does not constitute selling out. editing your views for them does.

get a life.

Hey, love the new song...not on first listen...but the chorus is stuck in my head now.

With all the talk about the meaning...this was on the opinion page in the newspaper today.

An Obama voter asks what went wrong

By CATHERINE CALLEN
First published in print: Wednesday, June 3, 2009

Dear President Obama,


Mobile AlertsGet weather alerts, sports scores and more.


You are breaking my heart.

I worked hard to help get you elected, and I have friends who made it their complete priority -- so much so that they went where you told them to go, knocked on strange doors and rallied people in states they had never been to.

We fell in love with your vision of what we might be, and the desire of all of us to see justice prevail with an investigation into atrocities committed by the Bush/Cheney administration and finally, put the shame and damage of the past eight years behind us.

Your eloquence carried us to new heights of hope: for the world, for our ecology, for our country, but most of all for peace.

I voted for you because I believed you would work hard to bring our soldiers home from unjust wars and allow our American Muslim brothers and sisters to live without fear in their own country. I was beginning to feel a pride in my government and country that I really never felt before.

And then you turned your back on your constituents -- the American people.

What happened?

You are not only backpedaling and reversing previous executive decisions about tribunals and the accountability of former President George W. Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney. Now you are telling us we don't need to see more torture photos.

This is not the transparency of government that you promised us time and time again. And it doesn't make sense.

Now we hear that Guatanamo and other detainee camps where prisoners were tortured may not be closed after all. This feels strangely like we have moved back in time to the last eight years. It is making me sick with anger that I, along with everyone in this country who voted for you, have been lied to yet again.

Until now, I have been defending you and trying to understand your strategy, believing that you were still walking the same path toward peace and transparency that you set for yourself and America in your campaign. You lost my trust, though, with this latest reversal of heart to not show the world evidence of further torture and the atrocities of the Bush/Cheney administration.

I am tired, Mr. Obama. I have been marching for peace for a long time. I was hoping I could retire soon, knowing we were heading in the right direction.

I feel tricked. So, tired or not, I will be at your front door soon, with, I suspect, quite a lot of friends.

Catherine Callen is co-chair of the Muslim Solidarity Committee. She was co-winner of the New York Civil Liberties Union's Carol S. Knox Award in 2007. She lives in Feura Bush.

BINGO!

okay, maybe i missed some of the middle 300 posts, but WTF does a song written before obama was even president have to do with ciritcizing obama as a president?

t0mMye

I read all 300 and I still don't know how they are drawing this conclusion..I guess the song speaks to them in that way or something.

Its all good.

Offering their entire catalogue to CBS makes them sellouts. Participating with MTV in promoting a worthless video games makes them sellouts...they might as well go to wal-mart, maybe with their own line of merchandise right next to hannah montana...they shoulda stayed with sony maybe woulda kept some fire in their fight...WEAK!!!!!

The songs on the last two albums have very similair sounds... at first. As you hear them more and hear them live, they seem to become their own. They have not let me down yet and I know they won't with this one. See you in baltinore on the 14th...

i really can't stop watching/listening to this. i seriously have a problem.

I know what you mean, that was me for two days straight, I hope I get back to my life...

Agree on the pointing system that's been posted, though, I'm hearing a lot of people taking to the lyrics and I must say, where are all the board members who love Vitalogy?? No Code?... :?

OMG - This song clicked with me straight away, fucking top notch. Energy, aggression, melody. Perfect. Compare this to Save You, and its streets ahead. Got a feeling this album is going to be their best ever.
And Stone, welcome back my friend. I thought he used to look a little disinterested, hiding in the corner stumming away, not anymore on this evidence.

Yes the instruments were too loud and drowned out Vedder a little too much, but I think that shows what a great song this is, that we're all still loving it despite the technical flaws.

Were people this excited when I Am Mine got heard prior Riot Act, or WWS prior to Pearl Jam. Don't think so

Agreed on all counts!

To question someone is not to "turn on him." Personally, I'm tired of the sheep mentality that says if you don't 100% support everything someone does, then you are against that person. I voted for Obama in November, but I never once thought "here is the Messiah who will lead us all without missteps to the promised land." What I thought was here is the best of the pack who seems genuinely intersted in doing a good job, bust who's a human being that is going to need we the people to correct him every now and again. Smart people always ask questions; smart people self-correct. Idiots and crazies go on doing what they've always done, no questions asked....and they expect to get different or better results for doing so. This was our last president and, unfortunately, the mindset of many of his supporters. If Ed is questioning Obama, then he is being a good American and an intelligent person. In fact, he is being the kind of person I suspect Obama would most admire. Ass-kisssers, I don't believe, are at the top of this president's list.[/quote]

Bravo! brilliant post!

SweetAndLow

Before this album comes out, my ranking of their previous studio albums are as follows:

Yield
Vitalogy
No Code
Ten
Pearl Jam (Avocado album)
Riot Act
Vs.
Binaural

As it's been pointed out by plenty of people, this song, at the latest, was recorded and written in early April. Do you really think ed is questioning Obama afte 50 days in office? I doubt it. I know you moderate pj fans are getting itchy with the nomination of the racist middle aged mex-amer judge, but kinda silly to think he is calling out Obama. He's calling out all americans, you and me.

Again, if you believe the song is "questioning," I'm not talking to you.

I'm talking to the people who seem convinced that it is an outright anti-Obama song. Which it almost can't be.
