Eddie on Letterman Monday!

Letterman maybe requested that song? It's a possibility. Maybe that song had some meaning between Eddie and Dave? "Critics" really have no clue...none as to why that song was chosen.

If you didn't like it, don't watch it again...lol. Maybe stop watching the band altogether? If you liked it, watch it again. It's really that simple.

I'm not being an asshole. I'm reasonably discussing the performance. I find it hard to believe you really think thst people who didn't love it shouldn't say anything. I actually think that a discussion about Better Man as a tribute song is a really good discussion for hard core fans myself.

Anyway, it occured to me that maybe Dave requested the song, but then rejected the idea. What kind of person would request a song that is specifically meant as a tribute to himself? Like, "hey Eddie, can you play me better man? Because, you know, you can't find a better man the me, hee hee!" I just can't see that happening. I suppose it's possible, but I just doubt it. This seems more like a song Eddie chooses as a song tribute to someone himself. He also played it as a song tribute to Jon Tester at his fundraising concert.

it is just as possible that Dave just likes the song without thinking Ed playing it would make it about Dave.

Loved it! As far as the criticism in this thread, It doesn't bother me at all. I think as huge fans we can sometimes feel sensitive about TV appearances and such because we want PJ to be well represented to the masses. I thought he did a great job of bringing some real RnR. Wife and I both agree he looked fantastic. Nice suit, lookin' fit, and his face looks natural to us. PS- don't pick on people for the way they handle ageing. Its' not easy, especially when you are famous and people are so critical. Ed remains passionate, talented, charming, sincere, classy, raw, real and super cool.

Maybe. But my first assumption is not that Dave requested a song. That isn't how it usually goes, is it?

Not a huge deal really... it's just that even though I'm not a big fan of the song, I always really appreciated the reason behind it, given Eddie's very rare position as a vocal male feminist. I don't underestimate the power thst men like that can have. So i feel like all this joyful singalong stuff and using it as a tribute to people ruins a little something for me that actually mattered, so I can't help but focus on that. Whatever the circumstances last night, I'm a bit sad about what's become of the song.

Just wTched clip and really enjoyed. Sure the band loved backing up Ed.

Ed did great job.

Seriously PJsoul seems like you've been negative here lately and time for a break from the board.

Gee, thanks for your concern (would have loved to see what Kat had to edit out there).

I Said you had a great point but Kat changed to you needing a break. HA.


I kid. Kat didn't do that.
