I saw Pearl Jam last night...

Yep- Musicians and Actors- please shut up. Your Egos exceed your intelligence all too often.

Pearl Jam is irrelevant anyway... they haven't made a good record since the first one. posers.

Musicians that have this need to stop during portions of their shows and shove their own political or ethical views down thier audiences throats is a huge turnoff to me and probably the vast majority of folks that paid their money to hear a show, not an infomercial- with Springsteen and U2 being the largest big ticket offenders.
Maybe these worldly problem solvers should tear a page out of the Grateful Dead playbook, for 30 years, just shutup and let the music deliver their message, then let the people do with it what they want, or don't want.

Yes, My Morning Jacket is a great band live -- definitely get there early.

Jackson Browne is another big offender. I pay my money to hear an artist perform their songs, not listen to their politics.
