Pearl Jam promoted their recent Missoula, Montana concert Monday with a poster that depicted the White House on fire and a bald eagle picking at President Donald Trump’s corpse. The band’s bassist, Jeff Ament, designed it with his artist friend Bobby Brown, who is known online as Bobby Draws Skullz.
The band posted the poster to its social media Tuesday with a note from Ament explaining the motivation behind it. “Y’all know the deal,” he wrote under a sketch of the poster. “We’re at a tipping point, and it’s time for action.” He then called for Montana fans to support the reelection of Democratic Senator Jon Tester. “[He] is the real deal,” Ament wrote. “Nobody cares more about our country and especially Montana.”
“The role of artists is to make people think and feel, and the current administration has us thinking and feeling,” Ament tells Rolling Stone. “I was the sole conceptualist of this poster, and I welcome all interpretations and discourse.
