I just picked up my tickets for tonight's show in Boston and I'm pretty pumped. I'm 12 rows up, directly behind the benches.

Have there been a lot of those posts recently? The timing on this one seems incredibly strange to me.

Just remember that the whole thing is just one crazy hallucination. The desert was just a sand trap, the crazy pyramid was actually the pro shop, and that talking coyote was really just a talking talk. Find your soulmate, Stl Bills.

What exactly does any of that have to do with Cushing? Regardless of what you think about those other names, Cushing did in fact break a league rule and was punished for it. As far as I can tell, that fact has never been questioned.

I don't care for his ramblings either, but I quickly get past it while at a show. 2.5 hours of music vs. 5 minutes or so of political talk? Yeah, it's very easy to get past that. If someone is caught completely off guard by that stuff, they are pretty clueless. Go back to their appearance on Unplugged back in the early 90s and you'll see that speaking up about his beliefs isn't exactly a new practice for Vedder.

Sorry about that. I should have just left the comment alone.

Either way, he was very pro-Obama on the last tour, so he's obviously not going to go after him this early.

I'll say right up front that I'm not trying to make this political. They're pro-democrat, so why would he break out an Obama mask? It makes no sense.

"I heard that coming a mile away." "Nice work Blinkin." "What? Who said that?"

Last night's set list looks like a pretty good balance of past and present to me. 5 songs off the new cd, which doesn't seem the list bit unreasonable to me. Then there were plenty of songs to please the people who might have jumped ship years ago like Evenflow, Betterman, Given to Fly, Alive, and Rearview Mirror. If anyone's at that show and feels completely lost, they should never have been there in the first place. Now if you really want a show where you have no clue what half the stuff they're playing is, try a Rush concert this summer.

And yet the only thing worth reading was the first post.

I never felt that way with the X-Men movies. The 3rd was just an absurd piece of crap thanks to a new writing team and not character overload. The first 2 were very good movies.

Yeah, that scene definitely pushed the limits of what they'll allow on network tv. Unreal. There was a lot of complaining about killing Rene, but I'm total on board with that decision now. That was the only thing short of Kim that could have gotten that reaction from Jack. And that was never going to happen since Cuthbert has distanced herself from the show in recent years and wouldn't come back just to be killed. Can't wait to see him get his hands on Logan!

So there were still zero searches for that phrase?

The poster from tonight's show is amazing: http://forums.pearljam.com/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=131378

I just decided to google it and according to IMDB there is a Green Lantern project in production staring Ryan Reynolds. Obviuosly it has nothing to do with any Marvel related project like jboyst suggested.

So the media is not only racist, but it's also sportist.

Maybe he's being confused with the Green Arrow, who is in turn being confused with Hawkeye? But anyway, it needs to be said... If it's on the internet, it must be true

I love when those casting "rumors" about the third batman movie are mentioned. They are so beyond absurd. I don't know why anyone would actually believe them. Each name goes completely against what Nolan has done has done with the series. And then there's a line about not unveiling the Scarecrow yet. I take it that you never actually saw Batman Begins.

But screw that culture if the celebration falls on a friday/saturday. They're not doing a thing for me that year.

I wish I was going, but I'll be at the Boston show the following Monday. Can't wait. I have one major complaint about that article. Several times they refer to Mike McCready as "Mike McReady". Annoying.

The defense of New England seems pretty comical too. 5 of the first 90 picks in the draft? Thanks. It really seems like he's grasping for straws on that one. They may be good players, but it really doesn't sound like one of those "look out, they're getting better" type moves to me.

I'm surprised more ethnic based holidays haven't taken off after watching the way so many people go crazy on days like cinco de mayo and St. Patrick's day. With all the people looking for excuses to get drunk, I'm surprised there isn't one of these holiday's each month. Maybe someday they'll be digging up some celebration from a tiny remote village in the middle of central Africa. We can only hope.

You make it sound like this one incident is suddenly equal to an epidemic of murders in the college lacrosse world. I won't claim that one group is any better or worse than the other, but most of us can name at least one guy from both of those leagues who has been accused/convicted of murder.

Something's missing there. Maybe I'm going into this expecting most kids to be arrogant punks, but I couldn't help but pick up on some attitude from a couple of those kids, specifically the "this is America" kid. I wish they would have bothered to talk to some of the kids on the other side, or maybe even that principal. Just like everything else, the true story is somewhere in between the their two versions.
