Lennon fans freezing their toes off in NYC

[blackthroatedwind]

The greatest hypocracy is Repent claims he's a Pearl Jam fan.

They are as outspoken a band against the current criminal administration as has ever existed. They have a song mocking Dubya that Eddie Vedder even wears a Bush mask while singing it.

But, Repent is a big fan of theirs.

And, apparantly, John Lennon was a communist ( oh yeah, I forgot, Pearl Jam even plays one of his songs..." Gimme Some Truth " ).

ok,
i dont know who you are or what you know about Pearl Jam,
but while nothing you typed is wrong,
there is more to the band than that.
same with Audioslave.
they hate President Bush.
Im guessing Billy Corgan might not fall in line with all my political beliefs,
but that does not stop me from appreciating his artistic abilities.

what made lennon cross that line from being an artist with political views to a communist is that he actively provided aid and comfort to the enemy(plus, he just flat out sucked as a musician).
You dont see Ed Vedder or Chris Cornell hanging out with that nutcase in North Korea.
they probably hate him more than President Bush.

You can call me hypocritical if you want,
but I know where I stand and my conscience is clear.

the only artists that probably believe what I believe politically are country singers and they do much more harm to our country than Ed Vedder's useless rantings.
i can assure you of that.

So which is the important part? Not that either one has any particular credibility...I am just trying to understand why you are so angry ( about this particular man )...especially on the anniversary of him being brutally murdered in cold blood.

I understand your confusion with Pearl Jam..... they sing of angst, as you do, but sorry if I can't help but see the hypocracy in you claiming to love a band that wears their politics as openly as five-against-one.

You will certainly " scream your lungs out til it fills this room ".

lol DaHoss,
you dont know me dude.
nor should you from conversing with me on a horse racing internet forum.

this is not life.
Im not self loathing.
I do what I want to when I want to.
i dont answer to anyone b/c Im fortunate enough to where I dont have to.
Im not saying im a great person or anything like that.
but I am who I want to be.

You know that Corgan line, "whatever I wanted to be, I already am"?
thats it.

ppl are not the ppl they want to be b/c they accept responsibilities in life that they do not want or never intended to.

my only responsibility is to myself.
enough about me. thats not the point of this thread.

stand up for my beliefs?

what you think I am going to get my as* kicked while voting a straight Republican ticket?
not all that dangerous.

I believe in a smaller governement with less tax funded programs.
I believe in self responsibility.

not all that dangerous positions.

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

those are not dangerous positions. the other 90% of posts you make here are.

the quoted part is the part that many of us will agree with, even me. don't pretend like that's what you stand for. you have repeatedly stood for elimination of those unlike you under guise of the "conservative movement" when 95% of conservatives would toss you aside in a second, realizing that you speak for no one -- not even "conservatives"

Yeah he couldn't hold a candle to Eddit Vedder as a musician.
