Ed Upsets Founder of "Bring Pearl Jam to Israel" Campaign

[bodysnatcher]

Ed's story is slightly less important than the female American Ninja, and more important than True Blood sex scenes

Well, this and the weird intertwining of worthless access-hollywood type shit and legitimate progressive causes promoted by that site.

yeah, i really do hate the Huff Post. where else can i get my liberal-leaning, non-Vedder news?

Seems legit to me and returned no Vedder related results.

Ed's bff is a scumbag.

[Kaius]

What an idiot.

[bodysnatcher]

that'll be deleted within a few hours, i'm sure

[BurtReynolds]

Isn't that an old quote?

Well, Ed could have scheduled a concert just to cancel it but, you know, pussy

hahahaha

what's this thread all about?

[E.H. Ruddock]

what's this thread all about?

Turns out Boom is Jewish

[Lament]

No offense to Ed, but who cares what he thinks? Why does that generate a single headline? Maybe if we listened less to talking heads and celebs and more to the people getting bombed everyday, we wouldn't be in situations where some feel such a desperate need to speak out about it.

Quit undermining IlluminEddie's attempts to educate this board about the inconsistencies of one "Eddie Vedder." That's what is really important here.

Can we turn this into a thread to talk about the new Adore reissue?

[bodysnatcher]

more like Abore, amirite?

[Lament]

Crucify the insincere.

[bodysnatcher]

really wish the Adore box set came with a string from the Ultimate Warrior's boots

He's allowed to do that bro, just as you are allowed to criticize him for it.

But I do think we should all remember that we don't live the same life as the "bring PJ to Israel" guy, and he may be more sensitive to certain things such as criticism of Israel than we are. He may have had family members killed by terrorists from Gaza for all we know. We don't know what drove this reaction (which IMO is more than a little over the top). I get how much fun it is to bash people who take PJ way too seriously, but maybe just a little pause and see how this plays out. Maybe he will back track a bit. Maybe he will respond to Ed thanking him for clarifying but still standing firm. How knows. It's just that I have seen many a-time where people have responded quite negatively to things I have posted because of perceived slight or because I questioned opinions or philosophies they held dear and won't give it even a second thought to question intent.

He was obviously talking about Russia/Ukraine.

hahaha wow

Israel blowing people up left and right? Who cares, it's just typical media distraction! BUT if there is someone who deserves some fucking empathy it's this fucking guy because for all we know he might know someone who knows someone whose grandfather lived nearby some guy that was killed by terrorists.
