Eddie Vedder expresses his thoughts about George Bush @ Bonnaroo 08

[sixstrings4jbo]

This was such an awesome show! I want PJ back at Bonnaroo someday

[weezerman2002]

The president in one facet or another controls everything in this country. He appoints people with his same views to oversee things he could not possibly have time for. W was CEO of America, and you want to say he didn't control the company?

[SixStringBurner]

Eddie, you have to be one of the most paranoid musicians out there.

Not only does sound like a stuttering/ bumbling moron, but he actually believes the president controls gas prices.

I used to respect him when was was an Independent, now he's nothing more than a political hack who has backed 2 Democratic presidential candidates.

Where's Eddie's bitching about GITMO still being open and the war that is still going on under the Dems no less who have been in power since 2006?

@SixStringBurner also he's an amazing song writer, you forgot that part...

[ancalagog6]

lol he's so drunk!

[mayhemlee]

typical liberal moron---- let's make an argument with a claim and a conclusion, conveniently leaving out the facts, basically building a house with a roof and a foundation and no walls.....

vedder, sadly, your music has not been good since Vitalogy, you are a hypocrite, and your singing hasn't been good or powerful since the aforementioned album....

funny, mr. punk rock is running around the US doing $75/ticket shows and selling CDs at Starbucks...........LAWLZ

[evanisovich]

Has pearl jam sold records at starbucks? No, I didn't think so. I think you spouted your one-sided diatribe on a least one other video-it isn't necessary to get on the same soapbox elsewhere.

[MonocleMan]

that concert was the greatest thing i've ever witnessed.

[JQvls]

Right on Vedder. In fact, I can't think of anyone more qualified to publicly speak about foreign policy. It's not like he has lived in a rock 'n roll dream world of ideas and theories or anything. He has extensive practical experience in the real world, and a large portion of political and business knowledge.

Pass the doobie bra.... and yes, Pearl Jam is a great band.

[whygodrums10]

lol eddie is so bad at getting his words out

[ehvoslef]

Its bull that people at a Pearl Jam concert would boo anything Eddie says. The man has made emotional impacts through his lyrics to nearly every Pearl Jam fan out there, and they can't give him a minute to speak his mind about our f**up of a president, especially when it is his words that are heard most because of his status. I went to the Hartford show and he made a very similar speech..heard no booing there. You may not agree with Eddie, but have the fuckin decency to let him vent his thoughts

[Raiyell]

I agree :)

[viroking]

The crowd wasn't booing Eddie, they were booing Bush and the Bush policies Eddie was talking about.
