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.

Me too. That being said, I still thoroughly enjoyed the show. The quality of production that he puts on is worth seeing, even with having to endure the political preaching.

Yeah, I kinda felt that way, too, but my wife's dad invited us and offered to buy tickets if we flew into town to see it with him.

Looking at the setlist for this tour, he does 15 Pink Floyd songs and 5 solo songs -- I think I'll have a great time regardless of the politics, as long as he isn't like changing the lyrics to the songs or something.

I take it a step further than most. I refuse to financially support any Leftist Anti-American, anti-freedom loving, misfit no matter their talents. I won't watch a movie, play, listen to a band, nor even speak with those despicable types, and that includes any Leftists I encounter on the street.

Screw 'em all, let them die in their self imposed miserable existence while I enjoy the freedoms we Americans still have.
