Look at Eddie Vedder. He's off his rocker but I'd throw $500 easy for the ticket if I had the time and money. It could possibly be one of the best days of my life short of my son being born and walking the isle.

I would pay $500 if I never had to hear another Pearl Jam song in my life. I think my biggest criticism of Sirius XM is that Pearl Jam has their own station, yet they still are played on other channels.
I don't get why I have all these cool variations of stations I like, such as Lithium, on my phone but I can't get those same stations in my car (which is where I'm at when I'm listening to Sirius 99% of the time).
My lexus only supports a max amount of XM stations. Think it's like 300. It's a hardware issue it seems.
Just play thru your phone? I assume you have unlimited data plan.
black conservative talking heads start going viral big time and the next morning it's back to corona virus. shifting narrative to stupid people. and of course, the new cases are not due to protesting, looting, rioting, hundreds of testing stations shut down due to protesting, looting, and rioting. it's the republican governor's re-opening too soon.
Yes, and get this.

Yeah it's easy enough to do. Just seems like a silly extra step when Sirius is right there on the car's screen
Don't get me wrong, there obviously is something to Pearl Jam that people like, I just can't stand Eddie Vedder's voice, or more specifically how he sings.
Portishead is probably consistently my favorite band, but I also really like Sigur Ros, Radiohead, Björk, and Jenny Lewis. I generally prefer female singers.
Extremely hard to believe when Newsom and Garcetti are laser-focused on "the price of housing" as the supposed cause of homeless. Those guys are clueless and nothing positive will come from this.
I'm not sure they are clueless, seems like we are living through a socialist's wet dream right now.
Am laughing to myself as I read this since I didn’t recognize any one of those bands!
Always up for something new and feel sure Spotify will pull them up.
I’m not saying we don’t have a “homelessness problem” in America, but it’s minute. What we do have is a major addiction problem, coupled to a smaller extent with a mental health problem. Until we can get that sorted out, homelessness will be a symptom.
I live in a very democratic dominated liberal inner-ring suburb of St. Louis. As such, our protestors are mostly white middle to lower income folks from the area. However, most of those being arrested for violent acts are lower income white people from rural counties close to St. Louis, known for being quite conservative and republican. They are mostly the ones “starting the fires” for which others are “pouring on gasoline” after the non-violent protestors leave. This isnt as observed from media reports, it is from direct and indirect observation. I’m not participating in the protests and certainly not the vandalism but have an almost “front row seat” and am briefed regularly on both COVID19 and civil unrest activites from emergency response sources. I have found the media to be very inaccurate focusing on sensationalizing things to serve their audience, regardless of perceived sides of the republican or democratic ”slant” to their audience and who their advertisers are marketing to. Bear in mind, they all are selling advertising. Don’t take the bait... Frankly, I don’t think there is an honest or reliable media source, certainly not the major national media outlets no matter which way they slant.
I have witnessed irresponsible COVID19 behavior at protests. Also, I walk my dog nightly down the main strip of our entertainment district. Some of the bars and restaurants have reopened. I can look directly in the windows. Social distancing and mask wearing has gone out the window, mostly at the bars. I have a friend who recently installed a large pool, one of my more conservative friends. He had a pool party with 20 something guests. He believes the COVID19 thing is liberal conspiracy. He has a masters degree in business, if it matters. I have an uncle who’s church has been having in person services for some time. So, in my observations, if there is a spike in cases, it has everything to do with everyone involved being careless regardless of their liberal or conservative values.
I haven’t lost any loved ones to COVID19 but have friends that have been very sick from it. I have friends that work in ICU units. It is real. Beyond that, I dunno.
My immediate family has been really careful and will be until receiving a vaccine. I have been tested for COVID19 antibodies and am negative. I will wear my mask and social distance. I will get tested again at some time in the future.
If it matters, I consider myself a conservative democrat. (Really, not a unicorn, we just don’t speak up much.) I voted for our republican governor and democrat County executive. The republican governor resigned due to being charged with a crime. Our democrat county executive resigned just before being convicted of a crime. Both are ethical zeros who had me fooled. I met and had good conversations with the county executive and communicated with the governor who lived close by before voting for them. Lying is the intent to mislead. Both are liars and law breakers. Seems lower level politicians still are not above the law.
I am a former union member, now in public safety management. My father was a union machinist. We are far from wealthy, solidly just above lower middle class. My father had a good private sector pension. I will have a good public sector defined benefit pension which will be about 45% of my preretirement income, for which I paid 7% of my earnings into. I have saved enough money in a 457 plan (no employer contributions) to offset some of the difference. I am not eligible for social security due to my publicly funded pension. Can’t see how that is part of the problem.
Oh, I have SiriusXM in my car/trucks and while I like Pearl Jam, I no longer listen to that channel. I like almost everything music in moderation.

Only if you went on national TV whining and demanding “respect” like a little girl. Otherwise, nah.
I’m with you on that bit. When someone demands respect or even includes respect in their comments it turns me off. Respect is earned and never given. Earned by actions not words. And it’s not a one time deal either, it’s not one specific action but how you Act every day.
I’m just glad somebody finally let cops nationwide know they aren’t all what the media is telling them.
What would be great is if he was black. The black conservative voice is being deliberately silenced.
there are tons of black conservatives speaking out in opposition of the liberal narrative.
it’s completely obvious, to rational people, how the left is constantly pushing division with race. Their record confirms they don’t want blacks on the same level as whites.
Not much we can really do because the change must come from within the black community.
On one side you have whites telling blacks republicans are racist, the other side telling blacks the democrats are racist. Who do you believe when it seems as though both sides are trying to manipulate your thought?
Which is why his speech would’ve had more impact if he was black. Black conservatives have little to no platform on any media platform except social media. And social media is manipulated big time.
