"That said, he's a Socialist tool who needs to STFU and stick to playing guitar."

I'm not aware of (David) Gilmour being too politically outspoken...Waters, yes, but Gilmour? I'm not saying he isn't but it's not something that I've heard of or noticed. I do know he does a lot of low profile charity work, and has been pretty generous with his own money and time.

That said, sounds like his son is worthy of this Pink Floyd cover.

LOL! Oh God not that video. I watched it for 10 seconds and it was too painful. Gilmour a much nicer person than Waters and is less socialist.

Drummer Nick Mason has one of the nicest Ferrari collections in Europe and had company that provided WW2 replacica planes for movies.

I remember him bashing Bush a few years back about the war, etc. Granted, I'm no fan of Bush, but I've always thought that if you're not a citizen of this country, you need to butt out of our politics. He certainly seems like an English gentleman in interviews, and I understand he does a lot of charity work. But unless he's going to become a citizen of the USA, he needs to shut up about our politics.

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

One of the reasons I have always been a Pink Floyd fan is not just because of the music but also because it was good to see the members of the band just be normal people without having to act out to make themselves interesting.

Gilmour has become a bit left of center in recent years and I think its his wifes (Polly) influence. There’s no doubt Waters being a leftist and that is by their own admission a chief reason why Pink Floyd split up. Gilmour, Mason and Wright were pretty conservative and couldn’t deal with his political rantings along with his power grabs anymore.

Bottom line, Daddy Gilmour is old enough to remember WWII and I think put his foot up his idiot stepsons arse...hence the apology.
