"That said, I didn't mind rolling over for one day, but I couldn't roll over for a whole fucking tour."
Sounds like he at least has integrity.
David Gilmour got all self-conscious a year or two ago and gave his many cars (and I think an extra home) away to charity.
What would David do with HIS cut of a $150million dollar tour?
It is their money to do with what they want but it reminds me of the bar I went to today that "suspended" their $3.50 Sunday bloody mary special for the regular price of $6.00 The bar was donating 10percetn of alcohol sales to Katrina relief (so that is $0.60 out of what has been "raised" $2.50).
Makes people feel good but they still do far better than their intended recipients.
Gilmour to his credit gave away more than just a few cars....he gave away a small fortune (10 million US) in subsidized housing for the lower classes.
He may be labour but he puts his cash where his mouth is.
and he is very well mannered and spoken
