You know as my mom once told me. If I have nothing nice to say, then don’t say nothing at all. She’s a cunt so I never listened. But for the sake of all the people on here that have UNCONDITIONAL LOVE for the band and don’t wanna hear comments and questions about the status of the band anymore, I have decided to be like PJ and say nothing for the immediate future. Peace and love to all on here and I hope to see you at a show in the near future. Peace and Love. Peace and Love.

This is a Pearl Jam message board so I am cool with all of the speculation. If you were at a dinner party and you were speculating with non fans that would be a problem. A PJ message board, then anything should go unless being blatantly disrespectful.

...such as calling a woman a c***, especially one's mother (see post above yours). Oh, and then following that up with "Peace and love". Riiiiiiight..

But yeah, bottlegger, I agree. People should be free to speak their mind in a reasonable manner. No problemo!

I'm sure he meant to use the word "pussy."

I don't know the person. I'm just surprised it slipped by unnoticed. Mods have made it very clear. Besides, we shouldn't even NEED a rule against that, It's low, low, low.

Just trying to slip in a rather obscure Curb Your Enthusiasm reference.

The c-word is probably in the bottom five words one shouldn't use in 2019. (Please don't ask me to name the other four).

To be fair, that perspective doesn't really work in the UK. The c-word isn't considered anywhere near as taboo there - it doesn't have the same connotation for Brits as it does for a lot of Americans (I must admit the word doesn't have that connotation for me personally either - I really don't care if people use it, and I think too much is made of it). Maybe the person is British.

I hadn't considered that. I'll admit that it is something that I personally cannot stand and will never, ever say myself. I think that the big point I probably got hung up on was it in reference to mom. Now, I also do not know what the person's relationship is with their mom. I understand that I am just shy of 46, but if I ever said anything like that to or about my mom, she would knock me out and there would be no questions later.

I would give a thread integrity tie in, but I think that this topic probably fell off the rails a while ago.

Do you remember the days when

Pearl Jam would announce a tour and you’d get so excited to see where you’d be able to catch the band for a run of shows or maybe just one show. But you knew that every night/morning you’d be glued to the message board to see what magic the band had pulled off in a town no where near where you lived and every time you read about a show you’d get more excited about the show or shows you were going to see because a Pearl Jam concert is a life changing never duplicated event. Holy shit they played a song for the first time in 20 years. Oh damn, so and so joined them on stage. I could go on for days about all the magic they bring when they join the Pearl Jam community and we all share and absorb each note and lyric. I miss this. Miss it bad.

It was fun while it lasted. Happy that run lasted from my mid-teens to my late 20's. Now, in my mid-30's, if PJ plays a show, I'll go. If they don't, oh well. We've had a lot more fun (for a long time) with PJ than most people have with their favorite bands.

It’s supposed to be a hot one in the northeast today. Stay hydrated my friends

Chasing Footsteps · July 2019

I’ll settle for live DVDs at this point.
What ever happened to PJ20 or any of the ballpark shows on DVD? Was this possibility a thing? I may be mistaken.

helplessdancer · July 2019

Isn't it ironic the c*** word is probably the worst word in US english but ladies are allowed to say the male counterpart d*** word everywhere and anywhere, including the office. Beyond frustrating.

At least Dick is a nickname for a more formal given name. The other? Not so much.

bobby dazzlers · July 2019

Is it because Ames did not do a poster for the just finished EV tour?

bootlegger10 · July 2019

Has Ames done an Ed poster? I had to look. Only a couple.

vaggar99 · July 2019

i wish they would just come out and say "we hate making records. there's no money in it. playing shows is fun and it pays bookoos of money. thanks for understanding." Steve Nicks did it.

I didn't know that about the Brit/ North Am. differences. Interesting. To me words are words. Just harmless arrangements of letters and sounds. It's the intent, of course, that counts. I'm not sure what the above intent what but it's a moot point because the mods have made it very clear about using it here. Not worth getting put in jail or banned for.

I’ve been debating for a while now if I should answer because my comment about my own mother caused some feathers to be ruffled here. If it makes anyone feel better my dad is a bigger one than my mom. Needless to say, my childhood wasn’t great. For the person who said the Axl Rose comment, that was indeed my muse for the post. (Love me some GNR) but my use of the C word had nothing to do with gender. To me it’s a great word to get a point across. Wouldn’t have the same bite if I called her a douche. In another thread I called the guys from Oasis the C word and no one seemed to mind. (Maybe cause it fits.) I didn’t know we had banned words and when we start using Newspeak I’ll find another word. But for people to get so offended at something that wasn’t directed at anyone on this board, in the band or anywhere else PJ related really shocked me. To those people, I apologize. And to end the debate, I am an American so those across the pond thank you for being understanding. And last I looked, the C word is way less offensive than what that orange douchebag (want to call him the C word but won’t for the people here) says on almost a daily basis. Once again I am sorry to anyone I offended, that was never my goal.

To keep this on topic, I will take a PJ show anywhere but I am tired of going to huge baseball stadiums with horrible sound to see my favorite band. If that’s the only option, so be it. Shit I’m sure we would all love to go back to the club days but for my money just give me somewhere made for live music.

I'm one of those guys who commented about your use of the "c" word. Like I said earlier, to me it's just a word. No words bother me. Well, maybe one- trump. Kinda ruined certain card games, ya know? But out of respect for the ladies here, a some of whom DO find it offensive, and out of respect for KAT who asked it not be used, I think it should be avoided. I'm not a douche (I like that word too), so I'm not going to "rat anyone out". I'm just sayin', that's all.

More importantly for you, I'm really sorry you had shitty parents. That sucks. I truly hope you can rise above and be something far better than them. I bet you will too.
