FPF and david gilmour.
Will they also be talking about Waters’ virulent anti-Semitism?
Oh wait, it’s “academia”, so they’ll probably be promoting it.
I used to like ‘Animals’ until I started paying attention to the lyrics.
Except for the very short acoustic guitar songs at the beginning and end of the album, the album is an attack on capitalism (Dogs), conservatives (Pigs) and encourages violence against capitalism (Sheep).
I’ve abandoned listening to almost every outspoken liberal d-bag in the music industry, but I can’t let go of Waters. I want to punch him in the face every time I see his picture, but still, there it is. I just can’t help myself.
This is college education today.
‘Echoes,’ ‘Shine On,’ and ‘Dogs.’
Three of the finest pieces of Rock music ever produced.
Masterpieces all.

I went to a Pink Floyd concert with Mr. Mercat back in the day. I saw a lot of really sick young people on lots of drugs. It was very unpleasant. Years later Mr. M took our teenage son. I was not happy.
If I don’t overlook the political bent of some of the artists that make up the sound track to my life I would live in virtual silence. The artists seemed to not espouse their views as loudly when they were coming up as they do now that they are established, it was more art then more politics now.
That said, Dark side of the moon and Wish you were here were ground breaking as was Animals, though not one of my favorites. My tastes run more psychedelic Sid Barrett era ( Obscured by clouds ) less the later techno.
