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,
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...

exactly.
Im sure there are country music singers with political beliefs that are somewhat similar to mine.
but Im not going to listen to that crap.
I dont care if they are the greatest ppl in the world.

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.
heard it when I was a child and it p*ssed me off.

Can I assume you're not a fan of the Sex Pistols either?

I never found the Beatles to be socially destructive, but then again, i'm not a crazy idiot, so maybe that's why. 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.

[repent]

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.

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"
