This run of shows had just enough political commentary. Opinions were expressed and heard with respect. No need to consistently get on a soapbox and alienate half the crowd. Sometimes people just want to enjoy a rock show and leave their troubles behind for a couple hours. Ed did a great job balancing this. The media will always be paid to fan the flames and rile up the masses. Don’t take the bait.

It’s a shame to see all this hate in the world. I think it’s incumbent upon ourselves, to govern ourselves accordingly, be kind to one another, and exchange in positive and productive dialogue. BE THE CHANGE WE WANT TO SEE. Rather than name calling and spewing hate. That solves nothing. But if you offer DIVERSITY of thought here, you will get pounced on.

In this case, diversity means you are either in favor of living in a democracy, or you prefer tyranny and dictatorship of rule by highly corrupt people who only want power and more money than they can ever spend. Yes, I believe people on either side of that divide have the right to speak their mind. But on the fan site of a band like Pearl Jam, if you think people are going to be receptive to support for tyranny with open arms, well... that's probably not going to happen.

I am certainly IN favor of a democracy, and certainly NOT in favor of a tyrannical dictator felon president.

AND, I fully support what Ed said in Pittsburgh and cheer him for using his platform to advocate for things he believes him.

(I recall that Ed also said something about getting back to debating issues rather than personal attacks?)… yes, he did.

Debating the issues and ways to solve problems that plague our world, open exchange of ideas, that’s how we advance and evolve. That is what I mean by diversity of thought.

That said, you have made my point.

Sounds right, good reply, thanks.

I don’t think he’s alienating anywhere close to half of the crowd.

I agree. If anything, he preaches to the choir.
