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?

I like his music and dislike him as a person.

Roger Waters managed to unite both political sides recently, pissing off Republicans (his criticism of Trump and everything right-wing) and Democrats (his support of Putin for example.) He criticizes the U.S. frequently, while living here full time (let me guess - for paying less taxes than living in the UK.)

We hear his opinions on peace in the Middle East while he can't even be in the same room with his former band members. 

I voted with my money by not going to see him. I'm ok with a little politics in my music (everyone is entitled to share their opinions) but in his case, I think he's just an ultra rich and aging rock star who hasn't been in touch with reality for a while.

I sure hope Gilmore tours soon.
