    So is Ed going to be on '60 minutes' or not?

    I looked on their website and it doesn't say anything about it.

    Question - How do you feel having a contingency of fans who have different ideologies as all of you?

    Ed Vedder's answer - FUCK EM'

    Well I guess we summed this all up.

    I should add that that was only the first part of Ed's answer, but I loved that answer. I don't think another artist would have had the balls to fire that off.

    i have come across enough people on the train to know it's not preaching to the choir.

    Maybe going on O'Reilly would be a waste, but it would damn sure be an opportunity to make him look like the fool some many believe he is....plus they could share opinions with people that might not necessarily LOVE/RESPECT them soooooo very very much and maybe, just maybe, change the way a few of those people think.....hell, they might even get one of those people to LOVE/RESPECT them too!!!

    i know what you're saying but the radical right are just as brainwashed as the radical left.but there is always a chance that they would reach someone,i guess.even if it's one person it's worth trying.so i agree with you as far as that goes.

    I'd say tune in Sunday and watch the synopsis to see if he is on this week,like i said I'm only 90% sure it's this week.

    but 100% sure he is going to be on 60 minutes.

    I've never really understood why Fox is considered such a joke for leaning to the right when every other news outlet in the country goes left....explain to me how that's not true if it isn't.

    And those who speak their minds whether it be Ed, the Boss or O'Reilly should never shy away from the opportunity to debate with folks who aren't their "choir". O'Reilly makes the rounds on the talk shows, why shouldn't folks who disagree with him go on his show and answer the tough questions, give their opinions. Now doing that would supposedly go a lot further toward changing attitudes and opinions than grandstanding at a concert

    O'Reilly's show is there for everyone to watch if they so choose with little effort....a Bruce Springsteen concert is, however, not readily accessible to everyone, so, yes, pontificiating at a concert is preaching to the choir in large because most everyone at a show has the same views. Unwllingness to debate in public or on a TV show that frequently expresses viewpoints opposing those one holds and believes in makes no sense to me....wouldn't one who truly believes in what they say relish the opportunity to do that?

    Fox leans to the right and all the other stations lean to the left? WAKE UP

    ugh I hope ed never stoops to going on o'reilly. that show is just annoying as hell. o'reilly doesn't "debate" he just yells and he always gets the last word because it's his show. the show is just a fraud- he brings lefties on in the guise of a debate but really it's just a mechanism for him to talk over them and get the last word as means to sort of make fun of them or something. Even if the person he's "debating" is making a much better point, he spins it to make it sound like he's obviously right. It's totally worthless for anyone to actually go on that show (doesn't help that anyone who watches fox news will automatically side with o'reilly anyway). the PURPOSE of the whole is find wholes in all slightly left arguments, not to actually listen to those arguments and have the viewers decide for themselves.

    This argument's been going around for some time. I agree with most of Ed's ideas but sometimes you don't want to hear it at every show. Especially if some of those rants take up valuable rocking out time! Air guitaring to "Bush is a moron" isn't as much fun as say, WWS which covers it. I know going in how they feel, but a concert should be about the music more than politics. And don't get me started on Bushleaguer, that song's just awful lyric wise (I do like the music though). We've been waiting how long for Who You Are to be played again and they play Bushleaguer? Ugh. Just my opinion.

    But do we have confirmation on him being on 60 minutes?

    i understand what you are saying,BUT.... i feel your ticket purchase didn't grant you control over Ed's mind or his Ideology and if he feels the need to speak i will listen to him,maybe because him & i are on the page when it comes to the war & Bush. i don't mind as much as say those who think contrary.but it is Ed and no PJ fan regardless of their political preference,can truly say it's a surprise when he goes on a rant.

    he is a passionate,patriotic man and i applaud him!!

    Where in my post did I say anything remotely like this? I hate Bush and the war in Iraq too, since i have to spell it out. But I'm a passionate patriotic citizen who can think for himself! The best political bands play political music, not shove it down people's throats all the time through speeches every night to give the guitarist a break. (I'm looking at you Bono) A kickass version of World Wide Suicide outdoes whatever rant he makes concerning Bush and the war in Iraq, everytime.

    Whether I think the same thing or not, I have no problem with an artist taking the opportunity to share his views at a concert, not at all. That's fine, but there is danger in it because of the people who follow what ED or Bruce says just because they like Alive or Thunder Road and that happens plenty. Plus, there is no debate to whether O'Reilly is an ass or not because he certainly is, but so many act like he is the only talk show host who does the same thing and its not just the crazy right....most of the libs just aren't prone to hollering and yelling as O'Reilly

    I am AWAKE....maybe you need another cup of joe if you think the vast majority of the media isn't liberal as hell...give me a break
    All I have to do is revel in the everyday....then do it again tomorrow

    I don't think this describes Ed at all. besides,the times dictate the urgency!! shit is so fucked up right now on this planet that there needs to be a constant voice of reasoning trying to reach the people,too many are asleep and unaware of just how bad thing are!!

    I agree overall, I just don't think that's the case at a PJ show!

    We can agree to disagree. You like PJ so I'm not gonna show up at your house with torches! As far as Bill ORielly, what a fucking steaming bag of cocks that guy is!
