Pearl Jam's Vote For Change Provides '08 Inspiration
Four years ago, George W. Bush had a crappy approval rating, the Democrats and youth of our country promised vote-inducing change, and Pearl Jam took part in a swing state tour to encourage people to act democratic. Four years later, there's no Bush on the ticket and no tour. But there is a documentary of Pearl Jam's unfortunately futile 2004 efforts; the band has released the first three parts on their official site, and will post the finale, fittingly, on Election Day. And those of you with tickets to tonight's Showbox-hosted, sold-out Get Out the Vote event will be treated to the full-length premiere of Pearl Jam: Vote for Change? 2004. Watch. Listen. Get thee to a polling place.
