Roger Waters: "Neoliberal propaganda keeping voters ‘asleep’ like Orwellian sheep"

[walrus]

Roger waters also said if it were not for the Beatles there never would have been Pink Floyd

[Gandalf]

I never really got into Pink Floyd. Very good musicians, but you can tell Waters studied architecture. The music is well constructed, but lacks melody or true emotion. I find Dark Side of the Moon to be a very dull album.

Smoked 2 joints, age 16, sitting on curb hot summer night, 9 p.m., August 1980, 3 friends, boom box, smoked 2 joints, it was Hawaiian reefer, sitting in the darkness in suburbia, stoned bad, .....guy pops in a cassette..... So stoned, everything quiet as a mouse, we light a 3rd joint, Mike says "Steve, this weed is Acapulco Gold",....... Stoned even more..... Pure silence, darkness......
Roger hits the play button.......

Faintly, so faintly, at the edge of hearing, you hear strings, so faint.... Slowly, so slowly, crescendoing...... Strings, ...... Louder, drawn out, approaching, crescendoing......

Fucking mouths hanging open in amazement, mind-blowing.....

Stoned as all hell......

Then it hit:. SHINE ON YOU CRAZY DIAMOND
