    I wish to revisit Scruffy's point:

    Bruce says he's an 'embarrassed' American speaking to a crowd in Australia.

    Buck denounces America and moves to Europe because things aren't the way he likes in America.

    Who's unpatriotic?
    exactly! the hypocrisy is amazing!
    LIke this?


    that's fantastic! hahaha!

    and by the way, I agree with @mickeyrat . The new Metallica album is fucking great.
    I'll double down on that assessment as well. Their best in 25 years.

    I'm still trying to figure out how you @unsung can like what PJ has put out in the last 15 years if you don't like their political views that they wear on their sleeve and bleed through on their albums while also saying 2 other legendary acts are washed up and have been since the 80's? I love PJ, but both Bruce and Metallica have released superior material to PJ over the last few releases.
    It's a hopeless situation...

    I like Unsung but I'm not sure I go for the "without being a PJ fan" we wouldn't hear of Bruce anymore. First, I think Bruce gets 10x the publicity Pearl Jam gets. Even when our band just puts out a record. Bruce is an American icon when it comes to music.
    Second, aside from "Working on a Dream" and "High Hopes" (A bsides record), everything he's put out has been timeless. In fact, "Magic" from 2005(?) and "Wrecking Ball"(2012?) are timeless masterpieces right there with his earlier work. "Magic" is one of my picks for most underrated albums of the 2000's. The guy still has it. The fact that he is still selling out stadiums all over the world after forty years of being outspoken politically shows that he will get through this squeaky clean and unscathed.

    i agree. the guy can still write/record some A+ records.

    Buck is giving away his Bruce vinyl because he was shocked what Bruce said about America. We later learned that buck left the country for two years because he didn't like Obama.
    I m still awaiting my "greetings from asbury patk" vinyl.
    I'll ride the wave where it takes me......

    I think that if I had to pick a definitive political moment for Bruce in his career- that would be it.
