Eddie and American Idol

i still am blown away by how many people my age (40+) give me the stink eye when i say i like PJ or am going to a PJ concert. you know, the ones who say, "they're still around?" "i thought they broke up years ago" that crap. it's frustrating sometimes because i wonder what the hell kind of music have *they* been listening to all these years...? how could you not know who they are or some of their songs (other than last kiss & jeremy...)

none of these comments surprise me. it's herd behaviour....

can anyone tell me what ed said at the alpine show in 03 about idol? someone started to tak about it ..

This is the quote from the concert notes on Five Horizons when he brings up Idol at Alpine.
"Power to the people man.... The real people, the people that work, not the people that sit in their towers, and try to run the whole thing, thinking that we're too stupid to notice what they're doing! They get us in our little holes, and our boxes, and our cages and they show us American Idol and American Gladiators and American .... blowjob, buttfuck, whatever. And everyone watches with baited breath. Oh, who's going to get a blowjob tonight? What American's going to get a blowjob tonight? When in reality, you could be getting one yourself instead of watching the fucking TV, I don't know. I digress. I'm going to get a guitar. But we were just talking in the back, and we were thinking that maybe uh, on the strength of a night like this, and uh, really, uh, so you understand how much we appreciate it, we were thinking that instead of uh, waiting 2 years or even, uh, after we finish the next record, maybe just next summer, we could come back and play, just a few places that we've been to and this would be one of them. And hopefully even in a year, the world will be a little more straightened out."

Hmmm... still waiting for Alpine to "be one of them".

225. I am not an idiot and I love American Idol. I would much rather listen/watch the music being produced from American Idol, than any thugged out, trashed out, redundant rap/hip hop crap anytime!

WORD!

...tears are flowing causing the mascara to run into my eyes...my eyes are burning from laughing so damn hard. Too funny!

thugged out

i can't get enough of these

264. Eddie WHO???? I think Pearl Jam is really untalented...............and I don't know who the musicians are........if you can call them that.......... I guess I'm too busy watching American Idol. I KNOW who Kelly Clarkson and Carrie Underwood are, and what tremendous talents they are.


you don't know who they are yet they are untalented.....bitchin'!! :eek:

hands up all Pop Idol/American Idol/X-Factor contestants who play their instruments when they perform.

That chump Darius did but then his career failed quicker than a blind gibbon on a driving test
