Pink Floyd’s Roger Waters Ruins the Song ‘Money’!

@mgolpoor 

Re Bob Dylan butchering most of his songs onstage, turn to his recent album Shadow Kingdom which is a recording of a small venue live performance.  Comprised of nearly all 60s work and stylistically minimally re-worked, he sings like he hasn't done for 30 years.  See tracklist below.  Order at once, in vinyl or polycarbonate.  You will be amazed what the man can still do.

This of course calls into question whether other stage performances are butchering the songs.  If Dylan couldn't sing them any other way, that might be butchering.  But now we know he can, at the age of over 80.  So perhaps he doesn't see other performances as butchering his work.

@mgolpoor ,

You may want to re-read my post.

It clearly states the band members contributions to the song went well beyond simply playing their parts. There’s nothing irrelevant about it.

Also, no one said anything about not liking the remake simply because they don’t like Roger Waters as a person. Most of your post is counter pointing a point no one made.

I do leave him alone, since the stories broke about his (alleged?) pedophile tendencies, I have not watched anything from him.

@grislybutter 

Your post questions if the allegations are correct but you appear to believe they are.

So don't forget to purge your memory of every Woody Allen film you have watched in your entire life.  And Mr Spacey while you are about it.  And all the others.

Just to be sure.

@clearthinker I am a hypocrite. If Allen’s movies were so awesome, I would still watch them. Phil Spector was a murderer and I still listen to his songs during Christmas. The irony!

But to stay on subject, the reason I also don’t watch Allen’s stuff is that his pedophilia - to me - comes across in several of his movies. (And again, I wasn’t there, so who knows.) All we know is that the facts make me cringe about the Soon-Yi story, it is as creepy and predatory and despicable as it gets.

You see, if you had let it be, we wouldn’t have dragged it out, again.
