G Rated Comments About the Relevance of Pink Floyd’s Animals Album:


It was a favorite album of mine, back then, for the music.

I had no idea how telling it was, at the time. But I get the gravity of it all, now … both, as a piece of art and also a statement about where we were headed as a society.

Wondering how long this thread can stay up. Hopefully, for a while …

Please keep it G rated enough so we can hear some hilarious comments. Not that the situation is hilarious or anything about it at all.

So let’s be civil. And let this be an exercise in remaining light hearted.

I've friends (as we all do) on both sides of the political trenches, and they both believe they are right. From who makes a good and honest president to whether it is fair to have universal healthcare. Their kids echo their parents' sentiments.

How to deal with it?
Teach your children well.

(The) Pink Floyd were certainly aware and in-tune with past/current events. The band nailed "it" with back-to-back Classics, Animals and The Wall. In 2023, those messages are loud and clear.

 

Happy Listening!

I like Animals a lot better than Wish You Were Here and the Wall... Dark Side unfortunately is overproduced, imo.... 

so, Animals holds up for me.  

Big man pig man, ha ha charade you are. You well heeled big wheel, ha ha charade you are.
