    Well... if they’re only into underground stuff that explains why they didn’t like it, right?
    I haven’t a clue why they didn’t like it.  You’d actually figure that an unpolished sound is more up their alley than an overproduced radio sound? it’s most likely because it simply isn’t very good.  I didn’t do the experiment to figure out why they felt the way they did though, I was just looking for non pj-fan opinions.

    It’s a protest song, not a camp fire sing along. It’s a delivery that expresses his frustration and anger with the racist biggot clown who stole and lied his way into the White House. It’s a great cadence for how pissed off we all are.
    Who’s mad? And why?

    Dumb question. If you don’t know, then start paying attention.

    OMG!! The amount of critics in this community is laughable! The song rocks! If you don’t think it does, keep it to yourself, don’t try to force it down anyone else’s throat, and write/recording a better song yourself! 

    The “doesn’t sound like 10” crap was old 20 years ago!! Lol.

    Lol 

    How pissed off we all are? I'm not pissed. Millions of us aren't pissed. I will say that it has been sweet, sweet music watching all of you leftist maniacs wear pink hats and scream and cry into the air over nothing. Fake social justice outrage is annoying but hilarious. What was that women's march about? A wage gap that doesn't exist? Or pussies or something? I still haven't gotten an explanation. You have to love a women's march for social justice organized in large part by a conservative Muslim lol

    And what about Black Lives Matter? A movement that began under the proven-false "hands up, don't shoot" narrative that never actually happened. Or how about the violence of antifa? Why doesn't Pearl Jam write a song about the restricted speech on America's campuses?Because it's not trendy to speak the truth about all of this bullshit and call it out for what it is, that's why.

    I've disagreed with Pearl Jam's politics for a long time, but I've always loved their music, including their political songs because the music and lyrics were great and they were actually about something real. It's sad to see them go from anti-war songs, personal songs about suicide or an actually case of police brutality, to generic social justice whining. Read the lyrics to CDM. It's a grown man bitching about nothing. It's pathetic and beneath the talents of this band.

    Haha. I’m glad the song is pissing you off. Hell of a leader. Be proud of the disgrace you voted in. I’m not even a democrat just someone who loves this song and am glad about it’s message. 

    Do do yourself a favor and learn all the words, its gunna be a great sing along this summer!!!!

    You brought up that “child rapist” thing on the AMT and got roundly schooled there for it. You’re still peddling it here, though, even though not a word of it is true. Kind of like Trump does.

    Did I? That might have been someone else. I honestly don't remember ever posting about that here.

    No way to get schooled about it though. Unless you're splitting hairs about her saying she wouldn't trust a lie detector test after that case. Is that the incredible schooling that was given? Wouldn't hang my hat on that if I were you.

    I voted for Trump? I don't remember saying that. Just because I call out a shitty song for what it is, and group-think, and ill-informed, childish leftist mobs doesn't mean I'm a republican or Trump voter/supporter. I think Trump is a douche and dangerous. But I am damn happy he beat that evil woman, though. You know, that woman caught on tape cackling and bragging about how funny it was when she got a child rapist out of a prison sentence. Yeah, that woman. The woman who was caught "colluding" with the DNC to steal the election from Sanders? The woman who stuck by her rapist husband and accused his victims of lying? Real champion for women's rights there, isn't she? #MeToo   I could go on and on and on...Would you and Pearl Jam have been so outraged if that criminal won? Would you have marched? Would we have such an awesome "protest" song like Can't Deny Me? The left and this band are hypocrites and full of shit. That's all I'm saying.

    Enjoy the shows this summer. Don't forget your pussy hat.

    I hope this song (and album?) lose some of the whiny fan base. kind of like No Code did with a lot of the casual fans in the 90’s. 
  • mace1229mace1229 Posts: 9,753

    Nothing about being the first single, only the "xmas single" and that is from the forthcoming album...

    How does that not make it the first single? It’s a single that was doubled as the Xmas single (no other Xmas singles were available for $1). No other singles from the album have been released, so that makes it the first single from the album.

    Nope, I'm not splitting hairs. Your facts are wrong, gleaned from too much right wing media.

    1. Clinton was a court appointed lawyer. Despite this, she attempted to refuse the case, but was told that she had been appointed by the judge and was not allowed to refuse.

    2. That being the case, she defended her client to the best of her abilities, as a lawyer is required to do. The basis of the American legal system is that everyone gets the opportunity to have a competent defense, because the deck is already stacked against each defendant, given the state-funded prosecution. 

    3. Thereafter, she was interviewed on tape about the case. I've read the transcript of the tape. At no point does she laugh about "getting a child rapist out of a prison sentence". At some points she kind of gives a what-can-you-do sort of "ha" about procedural aspects of the case, which she had no control over, but not about the verdict.

    No. Go and listen to her chuckle about never trusting a lie detector again after this guy passed it. It is unethical to put forth a not guilty plea if you believe your client is guilty. It's that simple. Nothing "what can you do" or "ha ha" about it in a child rape case. You are splitting hairs. Also pretty funny how this is your best defense against this horrible person. Trump is an asshole and a damn hard candidate to pull a lever for, I'll give you that, but how anyone can admire or defend Hillary Clinton is beyond me.

    Oftenreading & 10/22 -- I'm sure you're both delightful people.  Please continue your engaging debate on a more appropriate thread.  This is the CDM thread....and on to that note...
    The first 3 listens of this song I wasn't sure.  Parts of it I liked but the song as a whole wasn't speaking to me.  The lines that were stuck in my head kept bringing me back to listen to it again and again.  And now, I love it.  It might be one I don't list to as much once the album comes out but currently, I'm loving it.  Even my 12 year old son is walking around the house singing it.  If this were some other band and I heard this, I may not be drawn to it as much -- not sure.  I do know my PJ bias is in full force with this one and I'm pretty happy to have some new music from them.

    they lost a LOT of fans when they put out Who You Are. it confused them. including me. I dropped off a while becuase I didn't appreciate No Code at the time. I think that might be the one. 
    I think their goal at the time was to narrow their fan base and take off some pressure. WYA sure did that.

    It sounds like the brainwashing worked.

    Although, I didn't see anything about the propaganda they were pushing to make you think there isn't a wage gap. Sounds like your biggest fears are women with power, women with a voice and Muslims. Man, no wonder you hate this song. It's not awesome, but your bitterness is ridiculous.

    Sorry dude, I didn't realize the Attack of the Body Snatchers sequel had come out as Attack of the Mind Snatchers. Most of the people you are arguing with aren't even "leftists", but what ever makes you feel superior since you know. What do I know, I voted for a child rapist supporter over an actual sexual predator and habitual liar.
    It's a hopeless situation...

    You could also say there is too many people using the same hive mentality dismissing it because it is dissing Trump but hey I would not expect someone that liked Trump to notice that small detail. (I am not saying that everyone that does not like it is because of the knock on Trump)

    Catchy ..and I'm excited for more new stuff!
