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?

Isn't it strange how the offending posts stay up but the rebuttal gets taken down? Back to the old days. 

Read about Roger's early upbringing and you get a glimpse into what formed his anti war and political positions. His deep feelings about war and loss underlie his best music. The Wall and The Final Cut are strong statements that look deep into his wounds. 

Roger uses his performances to provoke and reinforce the senselessness of war and the lifelong damage it has caused to millions. At the core of his statement is the fact that war is waged by political leaders and it is there that the senseless killing needs to stop. Agree with him or not, if you sign up for a live performance you will have his opinion delivered. If you put his music on your Hifi, he'll deliver it there too if you listen.

@slbjbb +1  ^^^ very astute. 
 

One of the posts that was removed above asked if anyone would like to comment on something Trump related. 
 

I would not.
 

But I’d like to make a statement about how apparently easy it’s been for the various negative forces at play in the world to disrupt whatever sense of unity we used to have in the good ol US of A. And more specifically, how subversive it is, as evidenced by some of the politically charged nonsense that’s spouted off on this forum by various members. 
 

The folks who’re doing that ^^^ are more a part of the problem than they are the solution. 
 

My two cents.

One more thing …
Why don’t you play nicely or go home, you b#%$ho%#s. 

That’s plural.

Roger did have a disclaimer before every gig if you don't care for his rants then f*** off to the bar. For years you know what you're getting from a Waters concert. Great music and political whine. FZappa was the same way. Still love the talent.
