Hi. Like the rest of you all I love PJ more then any other band. McCreedy is one badass giutarist and Eddie has one of the best voice's around.
But I'll say it out loud right now: the politic's of the band upset me. Why does Eddie just piss an moan all the time? why cant he jus shut up and sing, it what he's payed to do. How do you think Mike and Jeff and Stone feel about hearing him jus chat shit night after night. I bet they get pissed to.
Some of the songs piss me of too. On the new album its all about politic's, marker in sand is great but the words upset me. Being Christian hearing Eddie talk nieevely about God is offencive to me.On Worldwide Suicide too. why is Bush paying checks? what's he talking about.

I don't post much but are their any other repub/christian fans out there? how do you feel about youre favorite band being so disrespecful to youre nation?

I don't know what I'd do if I was at a concert and they play'd Bush Leager. ???
I’d thank my lucky stars,
to be livin here today.
‘Cause the flag still stands for freedom,
and they can’t take that away.

And I’m proud to be an American,
where at least I know I’m free.
And I wont forget the men who died,
who gave that right to me.

    Pearl Jam is a product that includes liberalism. You have to decide whether you want to patronize them...

    There are fans who believe more to the right and left of certain issues.

    You're absolutely right, of course he does. I would never say otherwise.

    It's just that this has an aura of fakeness about it. I could be wrong, of course, and if I am, I apologize to Dino.

    You seem familiar. Did you ever post under the name of psychosmic(?) by any chance?

    Probably the same reason you're pissing and moaning....because it's what you feel like saying. So how about you stick to saying what you want to and the rest of us will do the same.
    If you want to tell people the truth, make them laugh, otherwise they'll kill you.

    Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth.

    Not the same guy. Our friend pychosinlove was from Jersey, and Dino here is in Alabama. There are certainly similarities in both style and opinion though.

    Could this type of rant be why the boys aren't touring the south?;)

    And if you don't understand WWS go listen to Nickelback.

    I like the "shut up and sing " comment, in light of the new Dixie Chicks film.

    Ed can say whatever he wants to say, and you have every right to disagree with him. I do find however, that these comments tend to suggest that Ed doesnt even have the right to say it, which is very wrong opinion to have!

    And if you dont want to hear Bu$hleaguer at a PJ show, I suggest you dont go to one.

    I wonder if the same people who say shut up and sing also say that when someone is supporting bush

    I agree. I can't see why ED can't have an opinion, same for other actors and entertainers. People who object to that usually do so because they don't like what is being said by the entertainers. They wouldn't complain if they agreed with the opinions would they?

    People like Eddie are still voters and tax-payers and have the right to a debate just like anyone else, famous or not.

    Saying singing is something he is "payed" to do also doesn't mean that talking about politics when he's not singing is stopping him from doing his paid job.
