Did you see that?!?!

A coworker went to see Roger Waters last night and was raving about what a powerful event it was. Anyone else catch it?

I had a neighbor here that went and said it was oddly political, to the point it was taking away from the musical experience. I don't have more info than that.

Roger has a litany of political gripes...

Well, my coworker said the entire event was very political and she found it refreshing. Different tastes I suppose.

I can't imagine anyone being shocked or surprised that Roger Waters has strong political beliefs tied into his music, unless they have paid zero attention for, well, 50 years.

I saw him in 2016 and thought the show, including a giant pig-shaped parade balloon and other not subtle messages, was great and just the right amount political. YMMV.

To be clear, I'm not making any statement about his political beliefs (I have my opinions but am too smart to share them here) - but rather that someone would be surprised to see politics injected into a Roger Waters show.

Yep yep I got that, and you are wiser than I am.

I think the point was it was beyond 'injected', but rather 'overwrought'.

His taste, not mine. I have no firsthand knowledge.

I mean, Pink Floyd was never shy about discussing political issues. Quite the opposite.

Is it political if it’s correct? I don’t think any of my public policy stances are political- they are just good sense. Is it my fault that so many people see things differently, i.e., incorrectly? Sheesh…

Depends on whether your views align with mine.

Or what I say in my lectures all the time: "I hate anecdotal evidence...unless it supports my bias."

Then there's the old standby: You are free to have you own opinion. I can't force you to be right.

Clearly a solution to the plastic straw crisis that no one else, and I mean no one else, had ever considered.

That is ingenious. That guy must’ve graduated from MIT

My mind went in a totally different direction, especially since he used a plastic straw to make the hole.

I considered that, but I don't think a plastic straw could core out a hot dog. I figured it was some sort of wooden cocktail stick that he brought along, or a similar device of his own invention.
