re: 79 year old Roger Waters (Pink Floyd) is touring.

Wife and I have tickets for Thursday's show in Austin. I'm hoping the politics won't be too ridiculous since Trump's out of office, but if his interview with Rolling Stone this week about his politics is any indication, I have very misguided wishful thinking.

This is why even though I’ve been aPink Floyd fan since the early 80s, I would not go see Roger Waters even if you gave me free tickets. I go to concerts to Watch the musicians perform, not lecture me on their political manifesto.

I did get to see Floyd when they came too B’ham and played Legion Field in 1994. One of the best concerts I’ve even attended.

It will be. I wanted to go to his show here in Orlando in august. I didn’t bc of this reason. When I looked at the tour preview/trailer it was all political.

Went to The Wall concert in college about 10 yrs ago. Was one of the best concerts I’ve ever been to. Sucks he has to be all political now.

hayve you ever been to a waters show? Ever?

In fact, within about 10 seconds of the lights going down, before a single note is played, he even says to the audience "if you're one of those people that says 'oh I love pink floyd but I don't care for roger's politics, you can frick right off to the bar now'"


Granted, the policial shite is actually WAY scaled down from the last show I saw of his 5 years ago, but it's obviously still there. As long as you know it going on it shouldn't be an issue. I went to hear a living pink floyd member play some of my favorite songs, and that was mission accomplished. All the other shite you just put up with as part of the deal. I was also a bit surprised that he dished it out to biden and the left a bit as well.
