Not quite the same situation as the Dixie Chicks. The core audience for the Dixie Chicks (and country music in general) is overwhelmingly conservative. Country music, NASCAR and air shows are sort of in the same category. You would get a real ass-kicking if you showed up with a "No Blood for Oil" T-shirt at any one of those events.

On the other hand, Pearl Jam's core audience is from the big cities - the "red" areas, if you know what I mean. Most of the audience will eat that anti-Bush stuff up.

I know you're right. On the other hand, during the Vietnam war, no one got up and walked out on Country Joe & the Fish or any of those other anti-war groups. 70+% of Americans are pro-Bush on the Iraq issue. I'm guessing this cuts into even Pearl Jam's audience.

Maybe so, but based on this report, not enough to keep them from catching some serious ca-ca for saying/doing it. This is an encouraging sign.
