While Armstrong was hesitant to get political in his lyrics, his bandmates pushed him to say what was on his mind. What unfolded was a firm critique of how Americans were reacting to The Iraq War and President George Bush marching troops into battle to die for no reason. Armstrong got into more political territory on the next song, ‘Holiday’, aiming a stern middle finger at the head honchos in Washington and their outlaw-like tendencies.

Bet this idiot is all gung-ho for going to war for Ukraine.

I went and saw Pearl Jam circa 2004- and the Marines had the audacity to have a recruitment kiosk inside the grounds of the venue and Eddie Vedder had a meltdown on stage over it. Just standing there looking at this guy disparage the Marines was a eye opening event for me, for the age I was at.... but yeah...Im sure Eddie is rocking the blue and yellow these days.
