Roger Waters Live Last Night in Glendale,AZ


My first concert in a while. Last was Sia. 

Roger has a message for his audience

that comes with the music. Somewhat off-putting

I must say. I went for music not politics. Not saying

I totally disagree with his. F-bombs galore. All our presidents

past and current are mass murderers. Could be a bit strong.

He is 79 and British.  Has some fun stories. I can live without

the other messages though. Is this messaging common nowadays?

The kind of discussion that gets deeper into the weeds as it goes and ends up lacking any kind of civility. Not to mention any value.

 

Waters has been heavily in politics for a long time. Nothing new. His last masterpiece was amused to death, heavily aimed at the Chinese government for running that girl over with a tank in Tiananman Square. After that he sadly basically lost any kind of balance between politics and music. To me art and politics don't match. In fact Hendrix dying before he was fully engrossed in the political direction he was following ends up being a good thing for my love of his music. Politics are all about material matters, music and art in general are just the opposite.

Bass players are background material, always in need of attention. Guitar players get all the girls.
