    it amazes me everytime I read somewhere of a place being 'right in George Bush Territory', sounds like there are still folk in the world who can still handle him.....just seems bizarre, given the amount of times hes made a proper cock of himself.....

    maybe the politics are bigger than the man

    I was there and I thought Eddie was trying really hard to not be overt in his views. At least he was for Eddie. He even said "I am trying to keep it clean".

    With that being said there was a great big good old boy in the pit area that said "you can leave" when Eddie started talking about the gas prices before Gone. It reminded me of the Chili Peppers "hicks don't mix with politics".

    I dont want Obama to win but if he does at least Eddie wont be able to bitch about the preisdent anymore. I am so tired of his political rants. We get it, you didnt like Bush 1, you didnt like Clinton, you dont like GW Bush. It has been almost 20 years of bitching about the president, it will be nice if the guy he wanted is in office so I wont have to listen to his disgust with the adminstration for awhile.

    That being said, McCain will win, so I guess I will have to listen to Eddie "political genious" for another 4 years at least.

    I kinda find it intriguing listening to Eddie all the time, obviosuly its a personal thing, but I like it....let him vent off, he's earned it.....

    Bush is a tit, but from afar I though Clinton was great and surprised Ed wasnt more into that....

    So is this McCain gonna be a better bet ?

    Ed isn't usually into any of the mainstream candidates because they are all in the pockets of corporations.

    He is for Obama this time either A) Because he's been duped into thinking Obama is the non-corporate candidate or B) Because Obama is not Bush.

    Even if Obama is elected, I can guarantee Ed will be bitching about him on the 2010 tour. I don't even mean this in a negative way. In our country, to get elected president, you have to make a whole bunch of promises you have no intention of keeping.

    Can you imagine Bono and Ed playing together? It'd be half-politics, half-music, but at least Bono has his heart in the right place when talking about Darfur, etc.

    Very good post! I don't think that all of the people that are head over heels about Obama really realize that he is a politician and he will make false promises just like everyone else.

    For fucks sake he probably earns more than one of tyhe Afrian Countries GDP each year and yet he bangs on at the ordinary folk like we who come here about the worlds poor....

    my god that man grates on me......now dont get me started on the u2 shows.....piss poor.

    I think to be a "true all-around" fan of this band, you have to be into politics. I'm not saying you have to be into Pearl Jams politics, but politics in general. They affect so much of what they feel, write, perform, etc. I hear people bitch about how they are tired of Ed's rants. Well I'm fuckin tired of hearing about how tired people are of rants. This band has been openly political ever since Ed scribbled pro-choice on his arm during MTV Unplugged. If you don't like to talk politics, find a new favorite band. It is part of the experience, has been for 17 years. You know what to expect, deal with it. The safest place to be if you want to avoid politics is not at a Pearl Jam concert.

    By the way, this goes out to everyone, Liberals, Conservatives, Communists, etc.

    Oh, Cigarettes cost less then gas. Fuck driving, start smoking. The folks at FOX seem to think that 2009 will be the end of the world anyway. ;)

    I am, in general, a conservative, Republican-leaning dude ... and I have to say, I've never been made to feel uncomfortable or offended at a Pearl Jam show. Ed says what he wants to say, I either agree or (often) disagree, and we move on.

    And maybe it just has to do with the relationship I have with this band. I grew up with this band. I've "known" them for 15 years or so. I have a relationship with this music that has grown with me from adolescence to adulthood. So when Ed says something I disagree with, I just look at it as Crazy Uncle Eddie being Crazy Uncle Eddie.

    Maybe that's just a sick way of rationalizing it, I don't know.

    You are a good person! Keep shrugging it off.

    I think if you completely disagree with the politics, or have no interest in the at all and still spend all kinds of money going to multiple shows, you are atrue fan. Just because I dont feel like listening to somebody's political view doesnt mean I dont enjoy the music.

    I am just saying if Obama is elected maybe we will get a break from the politics at shows for a tour or two. And if we dont, I will still go to shows and have fun.
