From the Chicago Tribune:A live Internet broadcast of Pearl Jam's performance at Chicago's Lollapalooza music festival Sunday went off without a hitch -- until singer Eddie Vedder criticized President Bush.Lyrics critical of the president didn't make it past editors of the show's Webcast, the band complained Wednesday on its Web site.The performance, sponsored by AT&T Inc. and carried on AT&T's "Blue Room" site, omitted the lyrics "George Bush, leave this world alone" and "George Bush, find yourself another home" as part of a version of the song "Daughter," according to the Pearl Jam Web site.http://www.chicagotribune.com/entertainment/chi-thu_jam_0809aug09,1,6237615.story
