11,976 Didn't Walk Out

Reported by heyrevolver

According to several reports across the Internet, it seems that several fans walked out of a recent Pearl Jam show in Denver, CO, after frontman Eddie Vedder impailed a George W Bush mask with a mic stand. He showed support for the troops, lambasted makers of foreign policy and showed disgust for the current war in Iraq, which seemed to be too much for a few fans. However, after reading a couple other sites' take on this event, it seems that reports are being grossingly exaggerated. Yes, "dozens" of fans left the show. But, according to Pearl Jam's fan-based website, only about two dozen of the 12,000 people there walked out. Everyone else was "loudly applauding" and enjoying the show. Even a hometown reporter failed to mention the minor walkouts. Who you going to believe?
