20 Protest Songs That Matter: No. 9

'World Wide Suicide'
--Pearl Jam (2006)

Rebelling Against: Operation Iraqi Freedom!

Like a lot of veteran rockers, Eddie Vedder has become a campaigner in middle age, trashing George Bush with an amusing baseball metaphor in "Bushleaguer" – "Born on third, thinks he got a triple." There's nothing metaphoric about 'World Wide Suicide,' which rages against the Bushies and their Iraq war: "Tell you to pray, while the devil's on their shoulder."

Middle-age? Wow, the slack-happy, lackadaisical, Generation X has reached middle-age? I think not!
Other than that, Pearl Jam rocks.

the reviewer/ OP fails to give credit to the author of the "born on third" quote. It was originally said by Barry Switzer, one of the greatest NCAA football coaches ever.

Ok fucking moron! The world was perfect until Bush came into office. The muslims were not comitting terroists acts. China and the Soviet Union were not sponsers of terroism! WAKE the fuck up , get out of FANTASYLAND and get into reality you rertard!

Die painfully okay? Prefearbly by getting crushed to death in a garbage compactor, by getting your face cut to ribbons with a pocketknife, your head cracked open with a baseball bat, your stomach sliced open and your entrails spilled out, and your eyeballs ripped out of their sockets. Fucking bitch

I guess the boys from Pearl Jam don't put any value on the lives of American civilians. Those who would wish the death of innocent Americans (i.e. Saddam Hussein) deserve to be destroyed.

Response to Kyle J:

When will you righties get it through your thick skulls that Saddam had nothing to with 9/11 and, to the best of my knowledge, never threatened the US--most likely b/c he recalls how we used to be friends with him.

BTW: do you place any value on the Iraqi civilians who've died as a result of this farce?

Pearl Jam is IRRELEVANT! Always have been always will be! Eddie Vedder would have been better suited to have been born in the 50s and lived as a dirty ass hippie in the late 60's! PJ SUCKS!

Mark in Va with your head in your ass, Pearl Jam is one, if not the most important bands in the world. YOU are a piece of shit on your mom's computer, you short bus bitch. You must be one of the 25% of the Bush supporters. Talk about an idiot drunk of a president. Take the 'W' sticker off of your Hummer asshole and join the real world.
