Considering Roger Waters’ recent leftist moonbattery, it’s kind of surprising that he agreed to this.

Have another bowl of jello, gramps, and calm down. The thread’s about the Iranian people seeking their freedom, not music history.

He always seemed like a leftist moonbat, even with Amused to Death. I don’t know which one wrote The Wall, but I think its acceptance as an anthem for those wanting freedom in Iron Curtain countries was completely unintentional. Waters did his concert on the Berlin Wall only afterwards as a way of going along, but my take is that The Wall was only against western authoritarianism, and that Pink Floyd only stopped being fellow-travelers long enough to pretend to say “me too” to the cry for freedom from Soviet oppression.

I saw “The Wall” and it is brilliant. I bet this sparks something too.

Waters’ dad, was a Communist, who opposed Britain’s involvement in WWII, until the Nazis attacked the Soviet Union.
