*please play PATRIOT at wrigley for the boston victims**
ed
boston is just devastated right now with our innocent victims fatalities and injuries
wrigley will be the bands next show in the US
i know, having been to a few of the 27 shows played in and around boston, that this city is a special place for this band
play it for martin richard, the 8 year-old boy who died at the boston marathon on monday
play it for krystle campbell, the 29 year-old who also died that day
play it for the BU student from china who also died that day
play it for all of the injured who will live the rest of their lives with wounds that will remind them of that horrible day
play it for all of the first responders and the regular folk who helped save many lives that horrible day
play it not for this country's political policies, but play it for the people all around the world who believe that good can be greater than evil
thank you
( i would appriciate it if some of you responding to this could add photos to this thread, i'm having trouble doing this at work, especially the one of martin richard holding the sign that says " stop hurting people, peace") thanks

"...I changed by not changing at all..."
Either that or just play for 4 hours and give us the time where we can come together as one and be grateful to be alive and celebrate the evening with friends and great music
Can't wait!! July is COMING!!
Possible Theo involvement too.
"...I changed by not changing at all..."
My wife sent me the story of this lil guy... so sad.
For those who don't know
Patriots day is celebrated here in Massachusetts on the 3rd Monday in April to commemorate the battles of concord and Lexington
The Boston marathon is run on this day every year
It should be a special day for kids in massachusetts because it is the first day of a week long school vacation and they get to watch the red sox play a home game at 11 in the morning
It should be a special day for kids who get to go watch the marathon at the finish line to see their father finish the race
This year it was not

Ed states that he is not a democrat, too
Ed did not write this song
My sentiment is that I have an 8 year-old boy, I live near Boston, and my heart breaks for the Richard family and every other family affected by this
If you assume this is about politics, you are wrong

I dont think he sings it like that every time. Considering the situation I dont think he would do that. You think half the audience at a PJ show is Republican? I wonder. I always thought their audience had were more Democrats but maybe that is just because the band are so vocal.
Anyway, I think it would be a great song if they do an acoustic set.
I agree, but I think if he chose to sing this song as a tribute he would not sing that line that way.
"...I changed by not changing at all..."
Innocent people get blown to pieces and some of you would be offended if someone you do not even know personally, states that he does not support YOUR political party, or any other, for that matter
Sad

Pay close to attention to what Steven says before the song starts..
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nzguf7WBIM0
And the river opens for the righteous
And the river opens for the righteous
And the river opens for the righteous
And the river opens for the righteous
And the river opens for the righteous
And the river opens for the righteous
And the river opens for the righteous, someday
I was walking with my brother
And he wondered what's on my mind
I said what I believe in my soul
It ain't what I see with my eyes
And we can't turn our heads this time
I am a patriot and I love my country
'Cause my country is all I know
I want to be with my family
With people who understand me
I got nowhere else to go
I am a patriot
And the river opens for the righteous
And the river opens for the righteous
And the river opens for the righteous, someday
And I was talking with my sister, she looked so fine
I said, "Baby, what's on your mind?"
And she said, "I want to run like the lion
Released from their cages, released from their rages
Burning in my heart tonight"
I am a patriot and I love my country
'Cause my country is all I know
And I ain't no communist
And I ain't no capitalist
And I ain't no socialist
And I sure ain't no imperialist
And I ain't no democrat
And I ain't no republican
And I only know one party
And its name is freedom
Listen to me, I am, I am, I am
I am a patriot
And the river opens for the righteous
And the river opens for the righteous
And the river opens for the righteous
And the river opens for the righteous
And the river opens for the righteous
And the river opens for the righteous
And the river opens for the righteous

everyday and everywhere in the world INNOCENT people are dying because of abuse, war or what else ... everywhere outside the "glorious" US (sometimes by the hands of Americans, by the way) ... are you interested in that fact? do you realize that anyway? I'm sure you don't.
Of course, the incident of Boston is a bad thing for you and for mankind, but to me there is no sense to play that song 3 months after that while thousands of other people in the world will die because of cruelty during this period!

Selfish? Really? I get your point. You should not honor any tragedies because bad things are happening all over the world every day and if you honor one then you don't care about any of the others. Good point. :thumbup:
If they were playing Fenway or if the show was next week, I think things would be different.
As sad as it is, something else is bound to happen between now and July.

Not knocking your idea, but it doesn't seem likely (or emotionally relevant/necessary) in Chicago in July.
500+ views
5 tenclubbers support this
1 from Boston
Where is all that "Boston strong"?
Very sad

It's not that people aren't empathetic to what happened in Boston, it's that your request just doesn't make much sense.
It will be their first show since the attack
This band has strong ties to Boston
I am from Boston, not west, Texas
I have very much empathy for any victim of violence, no matter where on earth it happens
I suggested this because they cover a song called "I am a patriot" , and here in Boston we had a bombing that killed 3 on patriots day

"...I changed by not changing at all..."
No need to explain yourself. I didn't misunderstand you and if they play Patriot, great. I don't think it's very relevant that they do however, and that was what I was responding to. I was responding to you calling it "sad" that people aren't as behind your request as you'd like them to be.
High road taken
