Ed uses plants in the audience?

I just recalled this from the Boston show. Someone yelled out to Eddie "Who are you voting for?" and he responded with "I like to keep my political views to myself," probably not exactly but something like that if I remember correctly. And then an Obama '08 banner walked across the stage. So wouldn't this have to have been set up?

I'm just laughing thinking of the thought of Eddie using plants for some reason.

    yeah it was funny. I assumed it was theo or another friend of his in the audience. crew member makes sense too.
  • That's pretty funny. Wouldn't bother me but alot of people around here seem to flip out when people have been yelling stuff at his solo shows. Something tells me they wouldn't freak out about this one eventhough it's almost exactly the same as shouting out requests.

    halfway into the thread, I'm like what the fuck does that title mean?

    there has to have been a better way to phrase that, lol.

    it's funny, I always usually agreed with most of Ed's politics, but this is one of the bigger ones that I don't agree with at all.

    Seriously doubt anyone is getting swindled. The greater evil has been in office for the past 8 years and look where we're at. Obama may be the lesser evil; but i think the past 8 years has been a lesson learned.
