    Like the NFL and most of Hollywood Eddie thinks he is elightened and using his platform for good . But most sane people view them as entertainers and pay them well for thier product not thier political opinions .
    They use the platform because they do have a louder voice, they do have more exposure.  They speak on behalf of the lesser folks like you and I who aren't heard, who are ignored, and who are chastised.  They have the opportunity to be a voice, why not use it.  If I post something on twitter, 50 people might see it.  If I rant in a town hall, 100 people might hear it.  What gets done? Nothing but "Oh just ignore that guy, he's not important."  This is why celebrities use their platform.
    I'm sure you have no problem when Ted Nugent when he goes off on one of his "shoot first, ask questions later" rants.

    Another hallmark of a Trump fan - opinions of others don’t count.

    If musicians aren't sticking it to the man, then why bother?
    Exactly!   I want my rock music good and pissed off.  Always have.  Otherwise we are listening to boring ass pop songs masked as rock songs.

    Trump ran and was elected on throwing red meat out for consumption...shit he probably doesn't even think or believe.  Then he has the gall to call foul on that shit after he is elected?  He's a pussy at best and wanna be racist fascist at worst.  He's a joke of a human and hopefully the worst president I will ever see in my lifetime.

    And everyone doubling down on this guy because they are too cowardly to admit they should have never voted for hime...come the fuck on, man!

    I don't really care though... 

    As for the band?  They can say and do whatever the fuck they want.  I'm sure they are not concerned about delicate ears in the audience.

    Like others have said if your offended by Ed/PJ talking politics you should really find another group to follow and go see. This is nothing new for them and i don't expect and really hope they don't every stop speaking out against establishments/governments!

    Someone more diligent than myself should be able to find the clip of Eddie from VH1 Storytellers explaining exactly what he thinks about your need for a right wing safe space at their shows.
