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?

To those who are bothered by Roger, I have one message. The truth hurts! To those who believe in free speech and enjoy Roger's art, rock on!

The music he created which is some of the most iconic in 50 years was created with all members of Pink Floyd. One could not have done without the other. 

Have to face facts. Once in a lifetime artists are eccentric. Their music was created by and for a generation who was not concerned with over sensitivity or consumer entitlement. 

If you like them listen to them. If not then don't spend your time complaining about them

I can deal with a political position that differs form my own . In my life have held most of them - absent hard right or left - at one time or another.

But Mr Waters' recent backing of Putin re: Ukraine is so far outside the Overton Window for me. It makes me so angry. 

We are a nation of free expression though and he can say what he wants. and we are free to stop going to his shows. Which is what I fervently hope will happen.

What burns me is after fans paid $250 and up for a Waters concert, they are told if you don’t like his political beliefs to eff off at the bar. Why didn’t the advertising for the concert state that?  He took everyone’s money before that fact was disclosed. Shame on him and shame on the fans who put up with it.  When I saw David Gilmour perform his “ On An Island” tour with Rick Wright on keyboards, there was not one political statement uttered by him.  Just the music and his sweet guitar and keyboards.  The tickets were not anywhere starting at $250.00 either.  Like I said before, a very big FY to Waters.
