I used to love music by Pink Floyd. I listened to their work all the time.
Back in 2004, I went to a Roger Waters concert. I was in a large group of 10-15 people, all good friends.
In retrospect, I should have seen what was coming, but...I didn’t. I did’t know much of anything about him other than his music...as normally it used to be for me. With entertainment, it wasn’t as much my business.
But boy, he went out of his way to make it my business.
It turned into a 3 hour political audiovisual tirade against conservatives and Israel, with some music mixed in. It looked like Code Pink put together the slide and video shows they had going on.
I didn’t want to ruin the evening for the people I went with, but I was steaming mad. I grit my teeth and sat there. At the end of the “concert”, they released a 40 foot high ballon of a pig with “F*ck Bush” on one side and “Vote Democrat” on the other.
I have been unable to listen to any Pink Floyd music since then. It STILL pisses me off.
Ugh…so you went to hear some good music and got duped into a Democrat political rally instead. 😖 That sounds horrible.
At least with the Pretenders, Chrissie Hynde got her “Meat is murder!” tirade and snarky comment about this being Texas and wondering if we all had guns out of the way at the beginning of the concert and they just played music for the rest of the show. This was around 2000.
