That makes me sad.
Come to think of it. Most of my happiest days have been watching other people engage in "meaningless pursuits": the Rangers winning the cup in 1994, the Red Sox winning the World Series in 2004, Pearl Jam finally playing Fenway Park in 2016. When I accomplish something "meaningful" with mine, that usually involves work. I'd rather watch other people's "meaningless pursuits" than have to do anything myself.
My favorite thing to do is sleep. Second to that, it's investing my time and money in other people's "meaningless pursuits" (i.e., listening to music, watching movies, reading books, going to museums, attending baseball and hockey games, seeing shows, etc.).Post edited by dankind onI SAW PEARL JAM0 -
People put so much of themselves in a lot of things. Sports, music, art, literature. Are those all meaningless pursuits? What you view as meaningless some people have a lot of passion for and may also hold a special meaning to them for personal reasons.rgambs said:I'm not saying that there is no enjoyment to be had from hockey but it just seems sad to me that people put so much of themselves into something like that.Columbus-2000

Yeah, these are the things that actually make life fun and enjoyable (among other things). Fun and excitement and a shared happy experience is anything but meaningless.KC138045 said:

Oh God. The '94 Stanley Cup is definitely one of the most memorable moments of my life, that's for sure, but not my favorite! Tear gas and pepper spray fucking hurt. Almost as much as seeing how disgusting and mindless people can be. And more than seeing your team lose like that. So fucking close man. Fuck.mcgruff10 said:

Great moment. I was at the MSG game a few weeks before when the Soviet Union railroaded us. Those were college kids against an All-Star team of professionals.dankind said:When I hear the U-S-A! chant, blind patriotism doesn't come to mind at all; this does:https://youtu.be/qSkc6c35A4Q

But I the USA chant meant something different back then. The 60's was only a decade earlier. We hadn't sold our souls yet.

okay. Now you have to explain. What did he say that night?mcgruff10 said:
The crowd turned on him real quick. People were screaming "fuck you" and giving him the finger. It got really tense in my section; it felt like a fight could break out in any moment. The walk out was interesting too, people yelling how Ed was a douche, he should stick to music and just play rock n roll, people paid for music not politics...others defended him. It was a really decisive moment for the band and the country.JC29856 said:
when you say it turned ugly you mean, like fights broke out or throwing things at the band?mcgruff10 said:

This 2003 tour was definitely crazy; the most upset I ever was at a pearl jam show was at Hershey not at Uniondale. Ed said some pretty fucked up shit that night.

Kinda of surprises me that he would make fun of a girl for her chest size. I know he was calling her out for flashing which I guess he didn't appreciate, but seemed like a little too far to call her out like that. Especially for that this band stands for.

How DARE you call that a meaningless pursuit?
A lot of my favorite moments are "meaningless." My wife and I still talk about when Chris Cornell came on stage at PJ20. My freshman year at Wisconsin, the Badgers went to their first Rose Bowl in 30 years. That was an incredible night where everyone was having a blast. The Twins 1987 and 1991 titles were the highlights of 7th and 11th grade for me. Could I have lived had those moments never happened? Of course. But life is not about the necessities.
Regarding that miracle on ice clip (which, sadly, I am just a bit to young to recall), I happen to think "USA" chants are more reminiscent of WWE crowds. It's your right to feel that way, to dislike Bu$hleaguer, to like Bush, etc. but I think there was a fundamental lack of understanding, frankly, about what is American by many (how many? I don't know). It was, for a brief period of time, not OK to criticize the president or the Country. It's not about what Pearl Jam, or their detractors, felt, but about the idea that those who did not like Bush "hated America." Bush's detractors were often accused of hating America, and that's where the lack of understanding of patriotism comes into play.1995 Milwaukee 1998 Alpine, Alpine 2003 Albany, Boston, Boston, Boston 2004 Boston, Boston 2006 Hartford, St. Paul (Petty), St. Paul (Petty) 2011 Alpine, Alpine

I really had no idea so many have such a negative vibe on the "U-S-A" chant. I don;t go to political rallies or things like that, so my experience has always been when something positive happens, never to shut someone down. And, orobably equally as often, just being silly and sarcastic just to be funny. Like winning the lowest division adult softball league, while having a few beers during the game, chanting USA when you win the last game of the season. Thats what I associate that chant with, not Bush's speech, or trying to shut others down. Mostly cheering for your olympic team, cheering during an air show, or trying to dare your drunk friend to do something stupid.0
