Roger Waters Live Last Night in Glendale,AZ

Waters has been heavily in politics for a long time. Nothing new. His last masterpiece was amused to death, heavily aimed at the Chinese government for running that girl over with a tank in Tiananman Square. After that he sadly basically lost any kind of balance between politics and music. To me art and politics don't match. In fact Hendrix dying before he was fully engrossed in the political direction he was following ends up being a good thing for my love of his music. Politics are all about material matters, music and art in general are just the opposite.

While I certainly don’t agree with all of his opinions and sometimes he is just over the top, his interview with Dan Rather on Axs TV ( all excellent interviews with rock and country stars) showed that he is very bright and very articulate. I found the interview to be very refreshing from an intellectual standpoint. The interview is available on the internet although not on you tube.

He did the same thing here in Edmonton AB  a few weeks ago. It's bad enough paying ridiculous prices, but having to sit there and listen to blah blah...blah blah...

Pink Floyd is one of my favorite bands. I have all of their albums since Dark Side of the Moon. I once had a girlfriend who bitterly complained that I played "Wish you Were Here" over and over. I also enjoyed Rogers' solo albums.  Politically he is a total jerk IMO.   His anti-Israel beliefs nauseate me.  In that regard, he is just another **ick in the Wall.  I can still enjoy his music while I hold my nose.

While his music has had a social commentary aspect going back to Dark Side, he seems to have gone off the rails with age. He now supports the People's Republic Of China crushing the free and democratic people of the country of Taiwan.  He supports full surrender of Ukraine to Russia.  His positions have gotten quite demented.

Go see Nick Mason or David Gilmour if you want a live Floyd fix.
