    I hate when Pearl Jam gets political. 

    I also hate when hockey teams play hockey at hockey games. I mean, what gives, right?

    Yep. Bring it on. If I can stomach listening to that orange ass every day, some of you can listen to the opposition for a couple of hours.

    Literally, multiple times per day, every single day for the last 2 years, Trump has made awful statements.  

    Agreed with the above....if I have to listen to that....I think a concert goer (who likes pearl jam) can manage to listen to 2 minutes of a rant before they play Porch.

    Ticket holders know what they're getting in to. If someone doesn't want to hear the band get political then they may want to stay home on their couch. We're living in times where for many it's difficult at best to keep one's mouth shut in regards to the charlatan who's running our country. Ed's political rhetoric may be toned down for shows outside the U.S., but I fully expect and hope he does voice opinions during the Home & Aways shows.

    Politics will likely come up at the Missoula show. The Montana senate race will likely be a close one this year. Democrat Jon Tester is up for re-election. Tester's family is friends with Jeff Ament's family from Montana. The band has supported Tester before in elections/re-elections. Montana is a red state so the band will likely want to try and keep a Dem in office.

    I like angry Eddie far more than family Eddie. Sirens and LB are pukatoriums.  Get Away and My Fathers Son are the only tracks I seek out playing on that album 
    Pukatoriums :lol: That is definitely my new favorite word!
    It's a hopeless situation...

    Works more for me when artists talk about issues or encourage dialogue rather than just bitching about politicians. If you can't relate because you hate Bush or Trump with a white hot passion, I'm sure you had friends or family that just moaned about Obama all the time. Remember how grating that was (or still is)?

    I was at Nassau in 03. Weirdest vibe at a show ever and I've been to hundreds.

    I was just called a shitty human being by someone from the tolerant & compassionate left.  Well, there aren't many conservatives around here but there are a few.

    Nice guy you are.  Stay classy!

    If you're going to a Pearl Jam show you have to know it's highly likely that politics will come into play at some point, i mean this is how it's been since the start. I don't always agree with everything Ed says but in no way am I going to say let's not hear anything political, this is what they do and what they're about.

    I hope it's political AF. I hope Ed speaks his mind and pisses people off. I would love it if "Bleed for Me" came back with the lyrics amended to "Cowboy Donnie." Seriously. Bring it all on.

    Nothing wrong with being conservative, but Trump is an awful human being and those that support his constant lying is sick.

     

    “President Agent Orange” – ATCQ has it absolutely right-on!!! 

     

    PJ should light up that manipulative lying bastard every single night on tour!  We the People, We the People, We the People, need to stand up to this shit!
