Why would that have anything to do with Eddie? He wasn't the one wearing the mask.

I was more upset that Red Mosquito was scratched twice from the weekend, but hey, the tiny hands was funny as hell.

I wish Eddie was being a lot more political than that. Just a guy coming out in a Trump mask? Come on Eddie.... there is so much more that could be said and done. Trump, Clinton, and just the whole bloody mess is presenting so much material, and all you've got is some dude in a Trump mask, which probably actually had nothing to do with you in the first place? So sad.

I think maybe Eddie finally realized what being in a rock n' roll band is all about. I'm sure he'll have plenty of rants in the future (there can be a time and a place *cough* Raleigh), but it's almost like he grew up a little during these concerts. I couldn't be happier that any major politicizing was left at the door.

You went to a PJ show and got upset that a political reference was made............

lotsalemon · August 2016

He apologized Friday night for something he said about Trump, I thought the mask was a nice touch Sunday. Though I thought he was gonna get the cake to his face haha

opsopcopolis · August 2016

It was pretty hilarious

JimmyV · August 2016

It was a political statement sure but that particular statement looked more like an inside joke on the guy who's birthday it was. Except for the small hands. That part was definitely a shot at trump.

I wonder when Eddie got scared of a tiny bit of political controversy?

I've been listening to a lot of 03 and 06 shows and those were just scathing indictments on politics - they've actually dialed it down a bunch and I think for fans that are on the other side of the aisle. The fact that they have't played Trumpleaguer, Glorified G, Rival, Evacuation, Gimme Some Truth and railed before each song shows great restraint. Truly, look back and those shows from 03 and 06 are political rallies - now they do it Springsteen style and keep it zipped for the most part.

I actually consider it a display of weakness on Eddie's part rather than something admirable, but obviously that is reliant on our personal feelings about politics in music. But I think my perspective is pretty valid, because Eddie himself set me up to expect him to not just back off like he's doing. I personally think a non-political Eddie Vedder is less interesting than the old Ed (not that I'm no longer a big huge fan. I am. But still... I feel like something's been lost).

I respectfully disagree with you here .I honestly got tired of all the political rants during previous tours, whether I agreed or not I myself want to get away from all that BS when I go to a show, as im in touch with politics and current events on a daily basis and when I got to a rock show for me that's an escape from the norm. I know they are political and he can say what he wants and I respect that, but I think even Ed got the sense that it went a little overboard at times. I like how he does it now, its more subtle, direct, and he moves along rather than going on a tangent. I think when he did go on that rants it killed some of the momentum of the shows, but that's just my observation. Most Pearl Jam fans believe whatever he does, so its preaching to the choir at times. I think he is trying to make changes in a different way now and as he gets older you cant sound so bitter, but try and create change in different ways.

Of course you're allowed to voice an opinion. But apparently you think it's only one-way since you feel silenced by other's voicing their opinions about your opinion? Everyone can voice how they feel. But don't get all hurt or offended just because some disagree or see it differently.
