During this, some dude in front of me grabs his wife and drags her out while screaming obscenities at Eddie and giving him the finger.

I was at the Denver show and I had no idea people were upset until I read the review after the fact. I'm still kinda skeptical that people were upset tbh.

I also remember the Fox News tactics of the day — questioning whether Vedder and entertainers have the "right to criticize the president," not whether what Bush was doing was right

Never got the appeal of Pearl Jam.

Likely will never go to their show.

That's a shame, Shook. They are a phenomenal live band.

I think they are the type of band where even if they aren't a favorite you go to a show and you understand the appeal for many people, they are really solid live, not entirely my thing but really good. Some of their songs live are "God tier" as has been the 2020 pandemic Ants term.

I’d see Pearl Jam shook. Blows away current dmb

[coldengrey12]

I haven't seen PJ since a Bridge School appearance in 2014 — Cornell's last Hunger Strike w/Vedder

[mthawk07]

I have a few friends that saw Madonna last year and said the same thing. Horrible show, didn’t come on stage until like 10:30, talked half the time, horrible set list. Basically the worst concert ever.

[blaise34]

I was supposed to see PJ for the first time at Sea Hear Now

This whole thing is shady as fuck.

Most couples I know function where the woman is clearly in charge and the one setting all of the ground rules and making the decisions. Do you see a problem with that, as well? Is that due to men growing up believing that that’s normal or maybe that’s what they’d prefer?

Donald J. Trump paid $750 in federal income taxes the year he won the presidency. In his first year in the White House, he paid another $750.

Biiiiiiig "this fuckin' guy" energy here

$750? For a "billionaire?"

A lot of embarrassing stuff for Trump, not nothing necessarily illegal.

That’s not what I said. You flipped the causation arrow.

Wait, his tax returns leaked!?!?!?

Unless he falsified his income numbers.

[BTBaboon]

NYT releasing Trump's taxes would be an enormous storyline in a normal election year.

The President paid no federal taxes at all in more years than not over the past 20 years, and paid just $750 (not thousand, just 750 dollars) the year he won the presidency.

For reference, a household with an income of $75,000 is looking at ~$15,000 in federal taxes annually. About 20x more than what the billionaire who ran for President in 2016 - and won - paid.

The fact that the President contributes 20x less in raw dollars than an average middle class household is absurd.

Ballistics is junk science. As much as I want justice for her, too many innocent people are sitting in prison behind this garbage. It needs to stay the fuck out of the courtroom.

PJ is a band I admire/respect but they don't really do it for me personally

Yeah I put them in the same group as phish. I can respect their talent but never had the desire to listen to their music.

Because Trump is a stickler for the rules?

The cult on Facebook is already saying he's smart for having not had to pay taxes! And that he donates his salary now!

Not a bad comparison, there's so many elements to a full band and talent alone usually isn't the make or break thing assuming the musicians aren't completely awful.

Bite marks, hair, ballestics, even fingerprints... junk. Pure speculation based non-science.


Wrongful Conviction podcast has been doing a whole series on these.

Can't wait for the "that's because he's smart!" brigade to show up

That train — or, rather, the folks throwing themselves in front of it — is never late

Phish shows are fun but their studio albums are generally skippable

In The Dark podcast (season 2) got into this as well.
