A musician Friend of mine posted this on FB saying how awesome the sound was..."It Rocks"... so being a hack musician myself I clicked in and could believe my eyes... I simply dont have the appropriate words...
Roger Waters has a myriad of Trump-bashing background graphics during the song, culminating in some out-of-context Trump quotes that have the audience cheering.
The graphics are in Spanish, and the concert was in Mexico.
I just don’t get it. It’s like the Democrats pay these “artists” to do this.
I remember Madonna back in 2008, did a montage of evil men like Hitler, Pol Pot, and in the middle of it, she put McCain in there, when he was running against Obama.
Now of course, we’re no fans of McCain here, but come on.
The supreme irony is that Waters wrote about state-sponsored educational indoctrination, which is really scary, but the indoctrination that has occurred is from HIS twisted point of view.
We don’t need no education,
We don’t need no thought control,
No dark sarcasms in the classroom,
Teacher leave them kids alone.
HEY, teachers! Leave them kids alone!
"Duh"
Glad I’m not a fan.
Glad I’m a musician and can entertain myself, alone and in the company of other musicians that think as I do.

“We must separate the art from the artist.”
Yeah, heard that before.
I last heard it with Richard Wagner.
Made it to 1:09
Why not just admit that you obviously lied and be done?
It's clear to the whole world that you lied, why not admit it?
It'll make you feel better.
lol... Go refill your glass man. I’m done with ya...
I know, right?
Those "other members" don't even know the difference between "then" and "than".
How retarded is THAT?
I’ve been a huge Pink Floyd fan for decades. Still am.
Waters is a supremely gifted lyricist.
He’s also a political imbecile.
I know, it's rough to get caught lying in public.
Don't worry. Most folks will forget before too long.
Not me, though. I'll remember.
I'm like Pepperidge Farm, yup.
“its been about 15 years since I posted a thread here. and in 15 comments, more are against my ways than the interesting Back Drop in the Video... speaks volumes...”
Are you. listening?
Pink Floyd is dead to me.
Yeah, not sure what is happening, but if this thread is any indication, then maybe FR is turning into angry old guys with fists raised yelling at the clouds... just saying.
Back in the 60s and 70s bands would make fun of whoever is in power — Nixon etc. But Roger is obsessed with hatred of one person — Trump — to a level I have never seen in a band performance. I knew he was a difficult socialist but he has mental issues.
In addition — his guitar player is ripping off David Gilmour’s Pigs solo note for note but has no feeling. Just trying to play the notes. Kind of a high school level vibe.
Pathetic.
"The FInal Cut" was one long middle finger to Margaret Thatcher.
