I’ve known for a while that he’s a bit of a git. It does spoil things a little, but I’ll still listen to their classics. I tend to take Dave’s side since he’s a helluva talent.
I admit, in retrospect, I SHOULD have known. But I was oblivious.
The concert turned into a 3 hour political audiovisual tirade against Bush, neocons, conservatives and Israel, with some music mixed in. It looked like Code Pink put together the slide and video shows they had going on.
I didn’t want to ruin the evening for the people I went with, but I was steaming mad. I grit my teeth and sat there. At the end of the “concert”, they released a 40 foot high ballon of a pig with “F*ck Bush” on one side and “Vote Democrat” on the other.
I have been unable to listen to any Pink Floyd music since then. It STILL pisses me off, because I do miss it. I loved the “Animals” album, and of course...”The Wall”. I can listen to it, but it just sounds different to me now.
