    Yes cursing and name calling is reserved for Eddie
    You can curse or call names on the AMT, you just can't do it about fellow members of the club.  That's the difference.  You won't be reprimanded for blasting a public figure.

     If Trump can mock disabled people while doing presidential candidate stuff... then Pearl Jam can knock the orange one while doing rock star stuff.

    People love to forget this stuff. He has zero respect for anyone. He's in it for himself and his brand. 

    We all know where the band lies on the political spectrum. To expect them or any entertainer at this point to stay quiet, then you need to take the horse blinders off. The pro-Trump camp has no problem speaking their mind, yet when they hear opposition, they don't want to hear it. 

    I have the utmost respect for the office of the president, but when the president acts like an entitled child then that's where the respect ends.

    I guess the 12,000 boxes for Team Trump Treason’s impeachment will send you to the beer and merch lines then?

    I've not always agreed with the political views but have had zero issues with Eddie (or anyone in the band) vocalizing their opinions.  I've always thought it was funny when people complain that they do.   They've spoken out about issues since day one.  You are a consumer, if you don't like the product enough that you plead for them to stop then maybe it's you that needs to find a new product to spend your money on.   I see both sides and in the past 3-4 years I have lost a little respect for how he's chosen to speak out.  I feel like it has gone from standing up for morals and supporting what's right to standing up for a specific party.   I believe both sides are corrupt.      
    He's actually been less vocal than he was during Bush era, but your "both sides are corrupt" needs to be reexamined. If you think there is any equivalence you are either massively uninformed just being lazy.

    We all come here to enjoy pearl jam. Some also come to talk about other things.  The above picture, believe me...I understand.....sometimes I would just rather not be bothered with "things".  Then again...I'm able to escape away from that pretty easily.  Just something to consider.

    Let your lyrics do the talking. A rant from Ed won’t change anyones mind in attendance. I applaud his activism, but speak out and have your moments more outside of tour time. It’s not like you are on the road most of the year anymore and it definitely isn’t their only platform to be heard.

    They play from their hearts. Their (Ed's) rants aren't programmed. When he's moved to speak about something... he does it. He's not considering time and place and weighing out the pros and cons... he's being himself.

    It's his moment as much as it is ours. They're in control of the mic just as we are in control to go to the bathroom when they play Even Flow.

    So anyone who supports the President or doesn't want to be bothered at all is lazy and uninformed ? Maybe you are correct and I need to find a new product because honestly I don't need Pearl Jam and/ or their fans telling me how I should think .
