Tag: pearl jam
thomas is superstar.
Also zumindest der von RTL. Ich mag den Thomas und spüre die lokale Verbundenheit. Immerhin sind’s von meinem Wohnhaus bis zu seinem nur 2,86 km Luftlinie, ca. 4 km via Straße. Sowas verbindet einfach.
Bis zuletzt hatte ich ja gehofft, dass der Gute doch nochmal nen wirklich vernünftigen Song auf die Bühne bringt, aber Pearl Jam und Co. waren nicht dabei. Immerhin hat er weder Creed noch Nickelback gesungen. Oder? ;-)
Ob ich diesen Beitrag mal der Rubrik “Weltgeschehen” zuordne? ;-)
no more.
Ich bin stolz, dabei zu sein beim Kampf gegen den Krieg im Irak.
Wenn ich auch gar nicht zu sehen bin bei den Live-Ausschnitten, so war ich doch da. Read more »
was gerichte so sagen.
uiuiui, ich lese grad das transkript der befragung eines experten bei der verhandlung von jessie misskelley, einem der west memphis three.
sowas hier ist doch echt mal merkwürdig, da lässt das gericht einen sozialpsychologen mit dem spezialgebiet erzwungene geständnisse als sachverständigen zu und dann darf der seine meinung nicht sagen:
“THE COURT: It’s just like the Johnson case on the rape of that child. I’m going to allow him to testify right up to the point of where he’s giving an opinion or inference that it was involuntary — that it was coerced.”
“THE COURT: Yes, I’ll let you ask those questions. …. But the difference is you’re asking him whether or not this was involuntary and allow him to say, In my opinion it was involuntary well, what does involuntary mean? Does that mean the State –or the officers did something impermissible, illegal — there are a number of things in the psychological area and the sociological area that the police could do that are perfectly permissible. Psychological techniques are not necessarily improper or wrong. From a psychologist’ s standpoint, he might say, Well, by using these subtle techniques they caused him to — to confess. That doesn’t mean that they’re involuntary. It means that they’re good techniques. So it means a lot of different things, and I’m not—”
au backe.
free the wm3.
it was pure coincidence, ok, maybe not pure coincidence, that led me to the page www.wm3.org. on myspace i learned – first about pearl jam‘s lead singer eddie vedder embarking on a solo tour along the west coast – and then about the fate of three obviously innocently imprisoned men who were convicted of the murder of three boys back in 1993 and have been incarcarated for 15 years now, one of them in death row.
i only had a look of some chapters of that webpage until now but i get the impression that “justice” can make and does make horrible mistakes. (ok, i guessed that before but i hadn’t encountered any specific case yet.)
i told my virtual but very real friend ingrid who luckily happens to live in santa barbara about the show in her town and it was her who made me have a closer look at the cause for this special kind of charity tour.
this is just an extract of the synopsis:
“… since they had destroyed or lost most of the evidence that might have been collected, their only option was hearsay.
Finally, the boy’s mother [a local woman who was in trouble for writing bad checks agreed to assist the police in their efforts to investigate Damien] had yet another idea. She urged a mentally handicapped 17-year-old named Jessie Misskelley to go to the police with another eyewitness account of having seen Echols kill the children. Jessie was with the police for twelve hours, yet only a small fragment of this lengthy day of questioning was recorded.”
“During Jessie’s trial, Dr. Richard Ofshe, a Pulitzer Prize winning expert on false confessions and police coercion testified that the brief recording was a “classic example” of police coercion. He pointed out how the officers heard Jessie state that the murders had taken place in the morning – but since they knew that the victims had been in school all day, they “suggested” to Jessie that it “must” have been later when he was in the woods. Jessie obligingly agreed. Oddly, the testimony of this expert witness for Jessie’s defense was not heard in its entirety by the jury.”
zensur im land der unbegrenzten möglichkeiten.
gibt’s das? ja, das gibt es. in den usa ist zensur noch immer möglich – und hier nicht unter dem deckmäntelchen des agenda setting, sondern recht unverhohlen:
Wenn der Live-Mitschnitt einer Band wie Pearl Jam von einem großen Kommunikationsunternehmen zensiert wird, ist das definitiv mehr als nur ein Sommerlochfüller.
Während der Pearl Jam-Show beim Lollapalooza-Festival wagte es Eddie Vedder doch tatsächlich kritische Worte gegen den allseits beliebten US-Präsidenten George Double U Bush zu äußern. Als die Band “Daughter” spielte und ein kleines Intermezzo aus Pink Floyd’s “Another Brick In The Wall” mit veränderten Lyrics einstreute, sang Eddie anstelle des Originaltextes “George Bush, leave this world alone” und “George Bush find yourself another home”. In einem Webcast von AT&T waren diese Teile allerdings dann nicht mehr zu sehen. Sie waren zensiert und herausgeschnitten worden. Read more »
uiuiui, noch mehr pearl jam.
nee, das hier ist kein fanblog. aber die videos des letzten konzerts von pearl jam in nimwegen sind so schön – wenn auch leider nicht akustisch -, die sollen schon auch noch ein forum finden. find ich. ;-)

the last day of our little european tour was an overwhelming one. the sun had decided to show up as well, after weeks of being in hiding. the line-up – kings of leon, incubus, pearl jam – was fabulous, the location stunningly beautiful. Read more »
