Pearl Jam concert poster depicts burning White House and a Donald Trump skeleton

What’s the difference between Pearl Jam and the murdering mullahs of Iran? The mullahs can sing.

Remember when music was about the music. And it was good. Today’s it is about everything but. Oh, and the music sucks. Big time.

Pearl Jam slammed for ‘gory’ anti-Trump concert poster

The band has been promoting a concert aimed at encouraging young people to vote against the Republicans in the November midterms.

Sky News, Augsut 24, 2018″

Republicans have slammed rock group Pearl Jam for a concert poster featuring a burning White House and a skeleton meant to depict Donald Trump.

The National Republican Senate Committee compared the artwork to an infamous photo of American comedian Kathy Griffin holding a fake decapitated head of the US president, which cost her a contract with CNN and led to several of her shows being cancelled

She was even briefly investigated by police over the controversial image, which Mr Trump described as “sick”.

The president has not yet commented on the Pearl Jam poster, which was designed to promote a Rock2Vote concert aimed at encouraging young people to vote against the Republicans in the November midterm elections.

It shows the White House going up in flames, a skeleton being pecked by an eagle that the band says is supposed to represent Mr Trump, and the message: “Y’all know the deal, we’re at a tipping point and it’s time for action.”

The gig took place in Montana on Monday, where Democrat senator Jon Tester will face a challenge from Republican candidate Matt Rosendale, who is also depicted on the poster with a crab claw for a hand carrying a Maryland flag.

Pearl Jam bassist Jeff Ament collaborated with artist Bobby Brown on the poster, which Mr Rosendale has condemned as “disgusting and reprehensible”.

The Republican committee called on Mr Tester to speak out over “gory” imagery, which it said was “encouraging violence” against the president.

A spokesman for the Democratic candidate said his team did not like the poster and that they “don’t condone violence of any kind”.

Libs are godless and see themselves as little gods. Being a god, they feel entitled to be depraved.
They have no boundaries. More often than not they get away with it ore easily today. All I can say is, if they get away with it on earth, I sincerely believe in Christ and He will judge them and how their eternity will be spent. That helps keep my blood pressure down. Life often appears to be unfair… but keep the faith!

I never liked the band; so many of these so-called ‘celebs, entertainers are quintessential a-hole Commies. They make their millions from fans who aren’t necessarily of their perfidy and ignorance. One can only hope that some fans see the band for what it is, Commies professing to be Democratic; silk-tie Marxists.

You bet! They are literally Communists and sexual perverts.

Child actors are often brought to parties for “contacts” so they say.
They truth is the agents bring them to parties, without their parents, to be the ENTERTAINMENT for the parties. I forget which child actor started am organization that struggled to get past the sexual abuse they suffered for their “break” to be a star. I would not be surprised if Harvey Weinsten also dabbled in kids. Hollyweird is loaded with predators. Money and power intoxicates them.

The child actor was on the Donna Reid Show. I’m having a senior brain fa*t, but I can’t recall his name. Half the time I can’t recall my own name.

Pearl Jam was one of the many bands that defended the West Memphis 3 who sexually mutilated 3 boys in the name of Satan back in the 90’s.

LOL!
DEMS LOVE the promotion of violence.
They want a nutcase to act on it.
Don’t be fooled. Notice they didn’t require the nutcase to remove it.
Talk is cheap, DEMS and we see through it.

I remember Reagan clearly but at the time I wasn’t paying that much attention to politics. I ‘d tune in for the SOTU and know I was in good hands. Reagan had nothing like what Trump is going through but yes I do remember them hating Reagan too but it’s vague. Thanks for the details!

Reagan did screw up on not making the wall happen THEN. Each President after that ignored and now look at what we have…

It is time for action but the PJ p—–s need to be careful about who it might be directed at.

Agree. They are zombie lunatics. All should be charged for instigating destruction of state property and penalised $1000 or 6 Months in jail with no job in govt ever.

Celebrities and artists should not make political statements as if they believe their opinions are somehow more important than any other American’s. Such arrogance will be their undoing.

The last time Pearl Jam was relevant was when? 1991? Before Clinton was President?

Embarrassingly, I took a friend to see Springsteen last time he was in Sydney (he is a great showman) despite my then growing disdain for his politics/social views. I will not go again, despite having met him on 2 occasions and he spent time with my family.Since then,I have attended Opera’s ,musicals and ballet’s and tend nowadays to listen to classical music,
I am worried the left will launch Springsteen as the candidate net time around.He has been studying American politics.

Rock/pop is just another tool of the left to indoctrinate youth (and others) and is very dangerous.

These Seattle grunge bands Pearl Jam, Nirvana, Soundgarden, it isn’t happy music its very depressing… mostly because these singers have suicidal depression, both singers Kurt Cobain of Nirvana and Chris Cornell of Soundgarden committed suicide and many of their songs are suicide themed.
From nirvana lyric ” I hate myself and want to die”
Pearl Jam lyric, ” Jeremy’s spoken ” about a kid who shoots himself in front of schoolmates in class. .
Or Soundgarden ” Mailman” a delightful song about going postal at work and killing your boss..

The music has nothing to do with being happy.

The poster goes further then that it has the illuminati triangle with the all seeing eye bringing to memory a famous anti-Christian Charlie Hebdo cartoon and at the top you see the subliminal ISIS with the inverted S.

Nice to know the Left can always incite violence to promote their Totalitarian ideology … without any consequences.

That band should be being interviewed by the Secret Service for inciting violence against the president. Maybe just as the band is about to go on stage, the feds can come in and shut them down, for starters. Maybe the feds could seize the band’s musical instruments, on the grounds those are the tools the band is using to incite violence. Like seizing a crowbar from a burglar.

The “lead singer” of this “band” is a classic ‘ALSO RAN”. I could never understand his “popularity” myself.
