Roger Waters Live Last Night in Glendale,AZ

Used to be a pass time for people with an interest in music and the search for ever improving reproduction. 

Now the forums deteriorate like any other form of public facing media. A downward spiral of poor taste and ignorance. 

Looks like this topic is yet another race to the bottom.

Depends on how you look at it.

We need to work this stuff out, to have any kind of order.

Going to a Roger Waters concert it entertainment. He is an actor on a stage. Nothing more. He is not going to change the course of history or effect the world order in any way. His music gives you the first hint as to what his show is all about. Anyone showing up and finding him surprising is little sheltered. But, regardless of what his performance portrays, it is just entertainment. 

And, as a performing artist, he can use his platform however he pleases.

I find the suggestion that his early childhood experiences have played out in his perceptive very interesting. We’re all very heavily influenced in that way, which is kind of scary when you look at the breakdown of the family structure.

My heart goes out to all the families that’ve been so affected by the war machine.

Read about his childhood.

His father was killed in World War II when Roger was 5 months old. As you research Roger you begin to understand why a man would grow to have the beliefs he did. Roger has resented the fact that he never knew his father and blamed what each of us would. 

Each of us has our own feelings about Roger's politics but knowing why allows a lot of understanding and certainly forgiveness in what we disagree with.
