"Fans watching Pearl Jams Lollapalooza headlining set on Sunday via AT&Ts live Webcast may have noticed an unexpected silence during the bands politically charged version of Daughter.
" AT&T informed Lollapalooza that portions of the show were in fact missing from the webcast, and that their content monitor had made a mistake in cutting them." During the performance of Daughter the following lyrics were sung to the tune of Pink Floyds Another Brick in the Wall but were cut from the webcast:
- George Bush, leave this world alone. (the second time it was sung); and
- George Bush find yourself another home.
Pearl Jam said the missing footage brings up the bigger issue of Net neutrality, the dispute over whether Internet companies can decide what should and shouldnt be broadcast on their networks. "
