    Howard is a huge pearl jam fan. His favorite song believe it or not is glorified g. He's definitely entitled to his own opinion but unfortunately millions of people listen to him and take his advice. I see medicated pete walking around red bank all the time! lol

    I ignore him...
    I tried him and didn't like him
    he's made his money by being an ass at the expense of other people's feelings.

    Not someone I would admire
    but maybe he'll host AI and we'll get a whole new look at what a caring person he really is,
    that would be about time.

    I dont know the guy but I do agree that Ukelele Songs is torture. For me it is anyway but I wont lose sleep over it.

    Most of my favourite artists have put out an album I dont like so no harm done. If you like it then enjoy and fill your boots, if you dont then find something else to listen to.

    It took guts for Eddie Vedder to release this album. Is anyone shocked about some of the responses out there in the media or some of the fan base? This a rock star releasing a solo album with just him and a ukulule. He was going to get some bad reviews and some opinions that he was being self-indulgent. In the end Ed did what he wanted to do and probably had some trust in his fan base that they would know what the album is about.

    I respectively disagree with Howard

    But to talk shit about him cause he doesn't agree isn't right

    You have to be in the right frame of mind to enjoy uke songs. Some days I could listen, some days I could care less

    I can see people having differing opinions here. I do like both Ukulele songs and Water on the Road. Saying that, the more I listened or watched it seemed a little self righteous to me. Ed, we know you're awesome, and you'd probably sound awesome playing the spoons,... but I think Pearl Jam is where you shine. To me anyway.

    So, like one poster said before,.. we don't usually love every album or song by our fav artists,.. that's Howard's opinion. nuff said.

    My hubby said Ukulele Songs is so depressing it makes him want to commit suicide, lol! But I love sad songs...sad movies, sad books...so this album is perfect, for me. In fact, it's almost romantic in a way... I can understand that not everyone would love it. But I do :)
    No time to be void or save up on life...you've got to spend it all.

    My initial response to the album was kind of tepid. However, I had it on yesterday while I was sipping brews by a nice fire in my backyard...it is perfect chill out music. I love it now. :D

    Howard really didn't bash the album as he really didn't listen to it. He just said the idea of a ukelele album is kind of nutty, and said he really likes Eddie and Pearl Jam. Tiny Tim use to come on Howard's show so he was partial to him with the ukelele and just felt nobody could play the ukelele like him. He didn't like Can't Keep but did like Dream a little dream. That's all he listened to. He felt it was just Eddie trying to show his weird. But Howard is almost 60 years old now so of course he didn't get it. He listens to Lady Ga Ga and Black Eyed Peas to try to show he's a hip guy, so he has zero credibility when it comes to new music anyway. The Uke album is kind of a crazy idea but I love it because maybe it does separate him from the now trend that pretty beach guys have with their whole acoustic record thing. It would have been easy for Eddie to release an acoustic pretty boy record with love songs, but he's going in his own direction, doing his own thing which I think Howard probably appreciates the spirit of.

    Not to mention he is still bitter because Ed refuses to go on his show.

    I used to love Stern, he was funny and edgy, now he is only on 3 times a week every other week. He is old and bitter now. If it was on Dancing with the Stars or American Idol, he would love it. Listen to Opie and Anthony instead. They are the best show on the radio.

    Howard Stern's opinion was relevant from about 1987-1995. now who cares he's just a guy who cashed in and preaches to the choir now. be there done that howard.

    I don't like onions, those of my friends who LOVE onions aren't sending me hate mail.
    And, I don't feel like they are crazy for loving onions... whatever, who gives a shit?

    Again... Your opinion, but I'd guess a man who holds court for up to 20 million people a day has some relevance in society?

    I have 3 followers on Twitter. I have little relevance.
