Puns aside (momentarily), I just want to point out that they have him on their financial records as both a co-founder and a board member. For anyone who wants to question whether or not Ed would be aware of certain conditions within the organization, he is legally obligated (as is Jill) to review and sign off on the annual budget. There is no chance whatsoever that he would be unaware of this situation.

Apologies for dragging us off-course. Is there a more appropriate thread to further discuss? My wife has some more detailed information...which she may or may not have acquired using internal professional development tools.

Now then....Back to dick joke island
Do you think Ed drew a little wave next to his name when he signed off on this guy’s half a million dollar salary?

Not positive, though, I'm pretty sure I saw Stick Man on a surf board next to the bad debt expense in their organization's 990.
We still make records to be listened to — not that everyone will listen to a record track one to twelve in a row or side A or Side B — but we still make 'em in case somebody does want to listen to it like that, that's how we make em…

But, considering all the good they have done with this research and disease, i gotta assume there is another side to the story.
I'm with you on this, Strat. Obviously a terrible look for EV, but this stuff has a way of getting distorted, especially when famous people and copious amounts of money are involved. Not saying he's not entirely in the wrong here, but it sounds terribly out-of-character.

I'm in an administrative position overseeing a very large team, and since it's a college there is a lot of reflexive hostility and suspicion among faculty towards everything that we do as administrators. And folks rarely have access to 100% of the relevant information, and often fill in gaps with assumptions that are either incredibly misinformed or wildly off base. And sometimes they don't. But my lived experience over the past 8 years has really slowed my rush to judgement in cases like this. It is rarely as simple as the stories we want to tell make them out to be.

Of course sometimes it is. But it's hard to know up front

Some clips would be nice. Maybe they figure “letting us” have the metal door sessions is enough. They’ll be nothing until 4/19 now.

Sonofa!

By searching #darkmatter on instagram i found some of those lyrics scattered on multiple record stores accounts (sorry for the caps, its from the copy paste):


1- “LET'S GET TO THE POINT
WE ARE ALL HEARD AND SEEN
LET'S GET TO THE POINT WE CAN BELIEVE”

2- “WE CAN BECOME
ONE LAST SETTING SUN
OR BE THE SUN
AT THE BREAK OF DAWN”

3- “WE USED TO LAUGH
WE USED TO SING
WE USED TO DANCE
WE HAD OUR OWN SCENE”

4- “I APOLOGIZE, SO SORRY 'BOUT THE TIMING
SOMETHING THAT I NEVER HAD
WAS THE UPPER HAND “

5- “THE ROAD WE TRAVELED FAR
ALL THE LIGHTS
AND SIGHTS WE SAW”

6- “WHEN WHAT YOU GET
IS WHAT YOU DON'T WANT
DON'T REACT, RESPOND”

7- “COMBING THROUGH THE WRECKAGE
POURING THROUGH THE SAND
SURROUNDED BY THE REMNANTS
WHAT WE COULD AND COULDN'T HAVE”

8- “VISITED BY THOUGHT
IS WHAT YOU DON'T WANT
HOW YOU ARE LIKE THE SUN
HIDING SOMEWHERE BEYOND THE RAIN”

9- “ARE WE AT WAR WITH EACH OTER?
ARE YOU AT WAR WITH YOURSELF?”

Interesting. So how many of these, if any, are audible in the metal door leak?
Pearl Jam is the only band I'll spend money on.

“Combing through the Wreckage” is the only one I recognize.

Why? Vs. and Riot Act are still great albums but Vitalogy easily tops them, everyone has their different tastes but surely the majority thinks that.
Lol. No. Not at all. Riot Act is fine, but nothing great. No one who was around for Ten and Vs can possibly think this. Hell, even if you arrived at No Code or Yield this thought is absurd.
