transcript or is that asking too much?

Fuck this shit man, I didn't start this thread!

Wtf??

Then he introduces Obama and Obama thanks him for the music but more importantly the story.

Dear Ed,

I was so moved by your speech I felt the need to write this. I am an adult in school trying to start a new career because my current one is not working out. Needless to say, I live paycheck to paycheck and sometimes have to decide on feeding myself or putting gas in my car. I'm borrowing a ton of money from the government that will surely accumulate much interest on it by the time I'm able to pay it back. So, I noticed that you seem to have a surplus of cash laying around and since your so into the wealthy giving to those who don't have, I was thinking that you may be able to pay for my schooling and throw me a few bucks to put gas in my car so I can get to school. Or the very least you could do is maybe give me the money back that I've spent on you and your band over the last fifteen years. This way, you can actually write true songs about "bad" rich people and you wouldn't look like such a hypocrite while your playing music for folks worth millions.

P.S. You fit in much better wearing a suit than a mohawk. So, please don't ever act like your a punk musician again.

Dear gjh:

I was stunned, both intellectually and emotionally, by your heartfelt missive. I notice that you are into taking people's messages to hard extremes to try and make a point. I was, on an unrelated note, thinking that as you are so powerfully proud and determined in your attempts to get a full education, you could do like some of us did and work nights and full time while taking extra and summer courses so that you don't have to borrow so much money or invest so much time making silly posts on message boards. That way, you could actually write about the fallacy of Pearl Jam's notably dissonant actions and words without sounding like a comment on a news article linked from Drudge Report.
