How does smashing a mask of Bush, during an anti-Bush song equal "we support our troops" and "want to bring them back safely"? I've hated Pearl Jam since they were Mother Love Bone. Not because they were partisan hacks, but because they are no-talent pukes. (I'm sorry tu3031, but all that hooting and shit that Eddie does in songs like "Jeremy", is absolutely maddening. If he wants to scat, he should learn how.) Now that I know what their all about, I don't like them as people either.

#2 I'm with Fred. The only thing worse than the anti-war types who spew hatred - are the ones who spew hatred, but then lamely add, "BUT, I SUPPORT THE TROOPS (TM) disclaimer.

I suppose I should be grateful that they at least manage to gag that out. But there is no conviction behind any of the words, it's all about saying what they think makes them seem smarter, cooler and more nuanced than the rest of us. They are just too cowardly to face the potential confrontation that might result if they don't add their magic little phrase of absolution.

#3 You see, its only free speech if the Hollywood- luddites use their speech to tell you what to think, if you decide to disagree, well thats just wrong and must be stopped.

#4 Vedder has always been a Kurt Cobain wanna be, I just wish he would finish the job like Kurt did.
