Roger Waters Live Last Night in Glendale,AZ


My first concert in a while. Last was Sia. 

Roger has a message for his audience

that comes with the music. Somewhat off-putting

I must say. I went for music not politics. Not saying

I totally disagree with his. F-bombs galore. All our presidents

past and current are mass murderers. Could be a bit strong.

He is 79 and British.  Has some fun stories. I can live without

the other messages though. Is this messaging common nowadays?

   Poor Roger, he suffers from L.S.D. Also known as Lead Singers Disease. It’s a progressive and often terminal condition that occurs when the individual believes his B S matters.  It is very common amongst Rock vocalist and has crossed over to professional athletes as well. Others that show obvious symptoms are Ted Nugent and Sammy Hagar. As a paying fan, I go for the music not to hear someone’s social agenda. But unfortunately it comes with the territory. Pink Floyd is wrought with the horrors of the war and mental health issues and I’ve always appreciated their music. Many years ago I took my son to see Green Day American Idiot and it was laced with F Bombs and political ranting. But today my son just remembers that we had fun seeing one of his favorite bands. Regards, Mike B.  

Linda Ronstadt gave a political rant while doing a show in Pahrump, Nevada. Only problem was she was in a military town. You have to know your audience. They trashed the theater, and she was banned from the place. 

I give artists a lot of slack with their ramblings during concerts, but I have my limits. I will walk out if a performer starts bashing my country in a non-stop rant.  

 

 

We did leave after an hour. Too loud for my old ears.

And we were a long ways up!

I'm a fan of Roger and his music, and I'm 100% in favor of him or any other artist saying whatever they want on stage, politically or otherwise.

While I've usually agreed with him on most things in the past, his more recent opinions have been real head-scratchers for me that I just do not understand. 

I missed him this time around, but I've missed everybody since 2020; haven't been going to gigs....
