MANSFIELD -- When there are speakers hanging over the concourse and up on the lawn you know someone from Pink Floyd must be playing the Tweeter Center.
Roger Waters, former bassist and songwriter for the legendary rockers, brought the surround sound, an unimpeachable nine-person band, and grand visual accompaniment to bear on a catalog steeped in majesty, misanthropy, and the tiniest glimmer of hope.

Go back even further -- Corporal Clegg was an anti-WW2 song from 1968. Say what you want about Weepy Waters (my wife's pet name for him), but he's been consistent.
Do you know what happens when people take music and it's message seriously?
Hint: Look at todays "yoots".
It's music man, enjoy it (unless it's rap, then please turn it down so I can't hear it).
When Roger Waters gets on TV and starts spouting his political opinions like holloywood, he will lose another fan. God I hope that never happens... my list is already too long, and I can't afford him.
"What did you trade it for? Just curious..."
A lead role in a cage.
haha.. had to say it.
