Re: Roger Waters

As musically brilliant as Roger Waters is (and he is -quite- brilliant) he is a HUGE liberal. Huge huge huge. Amused to Death is tour de force of bleeding heart (hah) whining.

That said, both Amused to Death and Pros and Cons of Hitchiking are fantabulous albums. They are impossible in that I thoroughly love listening to them while at the same time am disgusted in the back of my mind at the message. Weird.

As for Floyd's overlooked albums : The Final Cut is like the much cooler cousin of The Wall

Water's politics may be just short of being socialist,but I saw him in concert he toured the US a few years ago, and he was incredible !!!!

Waters was the heart and soul of Pink Floyd, even though he was/is an ass !!

Gilmour Mason, and Wright are very talented, but Waters was the difference

I've read that both his parents were dedicated Socialists and Socialism was the centerpiece of his upbringing.
