Ball's enough to talk about the big oil cover up in the gulf. The interview on Fallon was great- some good humor, Ed's blending of the two album covers- very funny! But I was so stoked to here Ed mix in some serious business as well and he did it with class- not beating anyone over the head with it, being a little cryptic which was cool, a bit of humor thrown in- if we can't laugh, what's the point- but something to really think about as well. Fallon kind of shoved the matter aside as I suppose most TV show hosts would- too bad- but it was there on a major TV network, it happened, Ed did it. Eddie Vedder, I'm damn proud of you!

    I love how he tore up Fallon's album to make it fit inside the LB album. Typical Ed.

    It was awesome! It amazes me that a man as busy as he has been lately keeps up on current events better than I do. I always learn something from him that I have to look up later. Ogallala aquifer and the Keystone oil pipeline, TS Karen stirring up the oil spill . . . :clap: :clap: :thumbup:

    What did the D/J mean on Ed's guitar?
    "I'll ride the wave,Where it takes me, I'll hold the pain, Release me"
    "I'm not about to give thanks or appologize"
    "Caught a bolt of lighting, cursed the day he let it go"

    I was wondering about also.

    I love that big "ZINN" right in the middle of Ed's guitar. :clap:

    I started laughing when Fallon brought out that grammy as was so excited about it, especially in the company that he was with...

    I am so glad that I got the Thursday & Friday Fallon shows on my DVR. Friday’s interview was hilarious and I’ll be watching it again…. Oh, and the band was great too!

    Yea, not sure if that was bad editing or what, but when Fallon appeared to cut him off and talk about the Grammy I was thinking WTF??? But the fact that Fallon did the whole Balls in Your Mouth thing shows he has the guts to put those kinds of issues out there so I'm not sold on the fact that it was intentional to avoid controversy.
    I smile, but who am I kidding...

    Fallon is so far ahead of his peers these days that it's ridiculous. Nice to see a host show genuine excitement.
