I was watching the video for "The People Have the Power," a Kerry campaign song featuring some A-list rock stars and I noticed something. Eddie Vedder was wearing a Johnny Ramone T-shirt. I remembered something about Johnny Ramone, who passed away recently. Check the obituary in the Washington Post for this nugget: "For all his posing as an aging teenager rebel, Johnny Ramone was a lifelong Republican who belonged to the National Rifle Association. When the Ramones were named to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, he said, 'God bless President Bush, and God bless America.'
He called Ronald Reagan 'the greatest president of my lifetime.'" Eddie Vedder needs to learn more about his punk rock icons.

Maybe Eddie just thinks the Ramones are a good band.
The anonymous reply above is amazing. There has to be some kind of online award for missing the point.
