Haaa. True. I think he might despise him, but what matters is the 2013 vedder is cool with 2013 vedder. Its hard to crush him when the money is for a cause, ya know?
Exactly. He's raising money for a great cause. Fucking sell out! :roll:
I find all this talk about what 1992 Vedder would think of 2013 Vedder weird. It would be more interesting and at least possible to find out what 2013 Vedder thinks of 1992 Vedder. Eddie is now a much more educated, realistic and centred person than he was in the early 90's. Surely that added level of muturity would make that a much more relevant opinion. Thats right most people think 1992 Vedder opinion and ideas are beter ebcause thats the music period they like.
No, the charity is the understandable part. The despise would come from the fact that someone has to pay 35k to watch him play music. You think 1992 eddie would be cool with that? Im sure 1992 eddie wouldnt have pictured being sold as a package with a filandering ex president and a movie star. But my point is that 2013 eddie is different, and if he ok with that, it's fine.

Woops. Thought this was in DC. Should've read it better.
So who has the settlist relay for this?
Finally some sense
I know that 1992 me might not like 2013 me and what I stand for but 1993 was kind of an ass

He's doing what he wants to do now and he did what he wanted to do then.
The only person that those thoughts and feelings would be relevant and important to is ED himself.
And obviously he's cool with it.
Carry on. :corn:

I would tend to agree with this statement but for one thing: Eddie shouted his opinions at us all for a decade. Eddie built a fan base in part because of his integrity and social/political opinions.
I'm not saying this to argue but saying that Eddie wasn't just some average private citizen who talked to his buddies over dinner about politics.
Great that they can raise money for a good cause.

agreed on both counts
yes, he did
yes, he does still
and yes, we do listen
but the angry young man is now a seasoned father, husband and hopefully wiser for all his life experiences
so if he's ok with it, then who are we to say?
if this is how he feels he can do good in today's society
so be it
right?
hope they make some $
sure they will
and do whats right with it

I agree. We certainly are independent thinkers and should form our own conclusions. Hell, I disagree with Ed on probably 80% of his politics but respect him because I believe he geniunely cares for the common good. But because he is a public figure and certainly made politics/social issues a big part of his public persona I think we can enjoy a good debate on whether we agree or disagree (and potential vent some dissapointment). For example, the private shows for corporations. If you want to raise money for charity why not play a couple shows for your fans and donate the proceeds? Who knows, maybe there was more to those private gigs.
As I type this I understand how pathetic it sounds. Need a better hobby than that
