My opinion of Roger Waters and some other Floyd members is very low, now that I am aware of their rabid hatred of Jews. That said, though, what makes you say that Pink Floyd ‘sucks’ musically? I cannot ready music, and am not trained. What? Did they have “Small Palate Syndrome”, did they repeat the same few formulaic constructions of music over and over? Or were you never a fan of Progressive Rock anyway, not even through other bands of that time, like King Crimson, Jethro Tull, Traffic, Frank Zappa, Funkadelics or Todd Rundgren? It’s not for everybody. Some considered the Psychedeilc era too crazy, too indulgent.

Back in the early days of Rock and through the '80s, the music brought us together. It broke down barriers as we shared cultures that would blend to create great new sounds. The words could be thought provoking, about emotions, or about just goin' out and having a good time. It was a way to share our anger about wars and unfairness, and an appreciatiion of those things we all cared about.

What a stupid attitude Roger Waters has. A concert in Israel that brings people together and past the failures of their governments could be a great thing.

I went to a Roger Waters concert about eight years ago. It had giant pig balloons (or whatever) and he lectured us a lot about stuff, instead of letting us feel the positive connections a good concert creates.

Whatever happened to the music? What we used to have almost changed the world, for awhile.

Simon and Garfunkle had it right in "Sounds of Silence". Does anyone even listen to that masterpiece anymore?
