    "He's an acid blown old freak..."

    That quote just blew me away. There's no constructive argument being made by Fox, just jokes and name calling. This is probably one of the most poorly put together news segment I've ever seen, if you can even call it a news segment.

    yeah what a idiot! the guy who said that is a older, graying fat f**k calling EV an acid blown freak?

    I'd rather be a acid blown freak than some old fat man sitting on Fox News talking shit for a living...

    Fox News just really ruins it for decent republicans (yes, they really exist).

    I love how stupid they are. The guy made that made the bad joke about Kobain being dead. It really just furthered Eddie's point that bad things happen to people when guns are around... And they didn't even realize it.
    Wouldn't it be funny if the world ended in 2010, with lots of fire?



  • It's surreal to see the lyrics to Glorified G up on the screen like that. Eddie was talking about this 20 years ago! kids keep getting their heads blown off... still on the blackboards , fox news makes jokes about kurt and the melvins!.. strange times. What's changed in the last 20 years? Not much, I guess. Maybe we've gone a little bit backwards.

    Same as is it ever was.

    FAIR and BALANCED :lol:

    I'm guessing Ed could give a crap, but part of me hopes he get's wind of this segment and get's really pissed for the rest of the tour.

    Angry Eddie = Great Set lists ????

    The old fat man is the only Democrat on the show. It is not a news show....they all talk about current events and give their opinions.....it is not a news show.....Eddie has an opinion and so do they....What a Great Country!

    I agree. If you have any doubts, check out the show they did in Cincinnatti in '06, specifically Leash. He takes the time to call out Rolling Stone, Ann Coulter and everyone @ Fox News. Fair & balanced. Pfffft. Whatever.

    Who cares what happens on FOX news??

    I didn't bother watching the clip, but from the OP, I think this is like a feather in Eddie's cap. :) You piss those guys off, you're doing something right!

    All the more hilarious since Fox just threw a bunch of money Pearl Jam's way to use their music during the World Series.

    Makes you wonder.




    Ratings, ratings, anything for ratings.

    thanks , I knew there was more than just me .:)

    regarding the news story.

    I don't think EV's choice of words was very appropriate, I understand his view, and in some small way he may be correct. there is a small segment of gun owners , some are really dumb and should not have them. even though it's their right they are bound to hurt themselves or others. ( that can be said for small segments of a population of any group. some people are just dumb) That was a very broad over generalization. And the ones that have been lost to " true accidents" it is a real shame.
    it's life though. accidents happen.
    ultimately i think he meant well though. wish i could sit and discuss it with him maybe understand his view point. then ask him why all of the collectable little guys on the tour stops have m16's?

    Why the news gives a rats ... about what he thinks is beyond me. I don't much take it to heart. Most pearl jam fans are now grown ups , we don't really look to our icons for moral or political advice.

    The fact that a news channel is covering what a musician said is ridiculous. Here's the problem with 24-hour news networks: there's not enough news to talk about all day. That's why they talk about Ed's comments or whatever. That's why Fox makes shit up and blows things out of proportion, for entertainment and to keep people watching. MSNBC does the same shit too just for the left. And CNN is the little brother who has no fucking clue what the hell is going on, haha.
    I've been fortunate enough to see Pearl Jam live.

    I am hanging in the balance of a perfect finished plan

    Well, really there is TONS of relevant news to talk about all day - it's a big world and there is a lot going on in it .... most news networks just choose to ignore most of it. Especially the really troubling stuff that matters, and GOOD stuff that matters as well. They just think talking about Eddie Vedder's comment about gun owners will get them the highest ratings, and on FOX news, they'd be right, because fox viewers just want to bash liberals and defend gun owners. :lol: And that is how our majo news networks function. This is where most people are getting their information. This is who is telling the general population what's important and what isn't. Sigh. It's depressing to think about it. :(

    You and I both know that people should NEVER rely on, FOX especially, these networks for reliable news. It truly is depressing to think about how many people do rely on them for news. My point was that when nothing major or urgent is happening, the channels need to keep viewers watching. So they need to bring forth more conflict and more sensationalism to keep people's attention. I for one am glad that these Rush Limbaugh wannabes won't be using PJ for their show anymore. I bet the band would be thrilled, haha.

    Notice how the Fox News Woman praises "Vs," then quotes Glorified G in a way to suggest the song is demeaning gun owners! In a way it is doing that I guess but is more commentary than anything.

    Well yeah it makes fun gun owners thinking they're so big because they have a gun... they feel so manly.

    I just like this point--leave it to Fox News to blow the lid off the story of the day--20 year old song lyrics! Good job Fox!

    That's what I think too! The general rule is if someone on Fox News hates "x", it's probably the right thing to support "x."

    What's changed in the last 20 years? Not much, I guess. Maybe we've gone a little bit backwards.
