Pillow its tough to know when you are serious and when you are not.

but if you think lennon and the beatles can artistically compare to what Pearl Jam has been doing since the early 1990's, you are out of your mind.

maybe you should listen to Vs, Ten, and the latest album again.

Repent,
You love to stir the pot don't ya? I do agree that you can appreciate someone without 100% agreement...if I waited for that I'd never vote or listen to any music, watch any movies or TV...I like Frank Sinatra's music but couldn't stomach his politics, right now...I'll take Juliette and the Licks over any band out there and I don't even give a second thought to her religious affiliation when I watch her on stage...

I don't know which is more absurd;

that Lennon and The Beatles do not compare to Pearl Jam

or that

a person that believes in smaller government would vote for Republicans.

you obviously were not around on the thoroughbredtimes forum.
Im more than familar with the beatles and their socially destructive propaganda.

and no Im not going to listen to that crap ever again.

lol,
never listened to them.
Im kind of selective when it comes to music.
a smart man once told me there are 2 things in this world to be particular about-
music and women.

that was good advice.

To be honest, I never cared for them myself...but I loved Wendy O Williams and the Plasmatics!

I find unwarranted hate, and hate speech to be socially destructive, but hey, that's just me.
I'm not sure there are many musicians who have had a notable social impact...certainly Bono belongs on any list and perhaps Paul Simon.

isnt Paul Simon that Nickelodeon dude?
sang some song about a guy and his daughter I think.

O'Reilly likes Bono.
I personally do not. he is all about humanatarian crap.
thats fine, I just dont like the way he tries to make others who dont give a damn feel guilty about not helping some starving aids kid in Africa.

Bono is on my "hero list"...U2 is a great band regardless of their social contributions but Bono and The Edge have done a lot...and Bono, unlike many folks, has learned to "play the game" and has raised unparalleled amounts of money!

U2 was a great band.
they did that greatest hits thing where they had one cd for the first half of their career and one for the 2nd.
amazing to see the difference.
they were doing some great stuff back with Rattle and Hum and The Joshua Tree.
the 2nd half of their career has been very ordinary.
I dont know if they got clean or what, but whatever they did is not working for them.

checked your hero list Somer.
Bono was not there, but it was only a list of 5.

Im not saying he is bad.
He does a lot of good for the causes he believes in.
just dont see why he tries to make the rest of us feel guilty.
some of us just dont care about others.

He appeals to people's conscience...those that lack one shouldn't really care one way or the other! Yeah, he's on my list but not top 5...then again, he's not done yet so he may well end up higher!

Ahhh, you offer such wonderful seasonal sentiments. A true inspiration.

Ed Norton is not a hero.
A good actor for sure, but not a hero.
I just thought the pic looked cool.

Oh, and aside from the Pearl Jam quote being very ironic considering his thoughts, the avatar is the icing on the cake. The whole point of American history X was that Derek, or whatever his name was realized how wrong his way of thinking was. Repent must have missed that whole other half of the movie.
I believe the song Rearviewmirror is about escaping an abusive father.

huh?

thats reading a little too much in to it I think.
Ive never heard them explain the songs origin, but it neve mentions anything about someone's father.
Alive is about a failed mother, but Rearviewmirror leaves a lot open to interpretation.
