I saw Pearl Jam last night...


I saw Pearl Jam last night on the Waterfront in Camden NJ last night. Excellent show. 2.5 hrs of blasting rock. Eddie Vedder's Cause now is to get wrongfully imprisoned prisoners freed. It bought the show to a grinding halt when he marched and paraded 3 ex cons around the stage. The band is one of the best out there. They blow away U2 and these other big name acts.

pearl jam is a great band, but bands and performers who shove their politics down the audiences throat are a big turn off for me, just because someone can play a guitar or carry a tune does not influence me to agree with their political views.
Yep- Musicians and Actors- please shut up. Your Egos exceed your intelligence all too often.
Pearl Jam is irrelevant anyway... they haven't made a good record since the first one. posers.
Musicians that have this need to stop during portions of their shows and shove their own political or ethical views down thier audiences throats is a huge turnoff to me and probably the vast majority of folks that paid their money to hear a show, not an infomercial- with Springsteen and U2 being the largest big ticket offenders.
Maybe these worldly problem solvers should tear a page out of the Grateful Dead playbook, for 30 years, just shutup and let the music deliver their message, then let the people do with it what they want, or don't want.
