WTF Is It Now?!?

Pearl Jam reads reporter riot act
On the heels of a story that there was a mass walkout by upset fans after lead singer Eddie Vedder impaled a mask of Napoleon Bonehead during the encore of their opening show, the band struck back:

"There were close to 12,000 people at the April 1 Denver show. It's possible two dozen left during the encore, but it was not noticeable amongst the 11,976 who were loudly applauding and enjoying the evening's music," the band said in a statement. "It just made a better headline to report otherwise." The 'reporter' also didn't note that some concertgoers traditionally leave during the encore just to beat the traffic.

"Dissension is nothing we shy away from - it should just be reported about more accurately," the band said. "Ed's talk from the stage centered on the importance of freedom of speech and the importance of supporting our soldiers as well as an expression of sadness over the public being made to feel as though the two sentiments can't occur simultaneously." - link.
