Now I'm glad I didn't get those tix.... www.drudgereport.com/flash3.htm BUSH BASHING PIG HITS MADISON SQUARE GARDEN Sun Sep 17 2006 18:53:38 ET ROGER WATERS [PINK FLOYD] CONCERT TOUR HITS NORTH AMERICA AND NYC WITH FLYING PIGS, URGING DEM VOTES IN ELECTION, 'IMPEACH BUSH' WRITTEN ON REAR OF PIG FLOATING OVER AUDIENCE... One concertgoer writes: 'Seeing Bush's name written across the pig's arse made me howl'... The pig had graffiti. 'New Yorkers/Don't be led to the slaughter/Vote November 7'... another attendee played off the hit 'Another Brick in the Wall': ''We don't need no thought control,' even from Mr. Waters'... Another sends a review: 'I attended the Roger Waters 9/15 show at Jones Beach, Wantagh, NY. At one point during the show Waters juxtaposed pictures of the President, Karl Rove, Ronald Reagan, and Margaret Thatcher with pictures of Osama bin Laden, Mao Zedong, Stalin, and other world tyrants. Rogers asked whether 'these people [Arabs] are really are enemies'. This took place during his anti-Bush/Blair song 'Leaving Beirut' in which he claimed 'that Texas education must have really f*cked you up' and asked why Tony the 'US poodle/pawn' is a warmongerer'...

Goodness anyone who know him should be used to Waters political views by now have you ever listened to "The Final Cut Album" he slated poor old Margret Thatcher no end and what about the Brain Damage track normally played with images of Prime Ministers and Presidents making asses of themselves in the background. Myself I never really agreed with politics in music/entertainment but everyone is entitled to a view however we all feel about it being shoved down our throats. I come from a country with a long history of free speach being taken to extremes you can even legally voice an opion stating how you would love to do away with the head of state, Waters remarks are mild by european standards. We cant gag people like this just because we dont like what they say without risking the system that gives us all freedom. The lunatic is on the grass The lunatic is on the grass Remembering games and daisy chains and laughs Got to keep the loonies on the path The lunatic is in the hall The lunatics are in my hall The paper holds their folded faces to the floor And every day the paper boy brings more And if the dam breaks open many years too soon And if there is no room upon the hill And if your head explodes with dark forbodings too I'll see you on the dark side of the moon The lunatic is in my head The lunatic is in my head You raise the blade, you make the change You re-arrange me 'till I'm sane You lock the door And throw away the key There's someone in my head but it's not me. And if the cloud bursts, thunder in your ear You shout and no one seems to hear And if the band you're in starts playing different tunes I'll see you on the dark side of the moon "I can't think of anything to say except... I think it's marvellous! HaHaHa!" |
Just quoting for the hell of it...
 ETA - tis a shame, I like Pink Floyd and all, but sheesh, I could do without their political rants.
