Anybody see the BBC documentary on the kids who sang on ABitW, last night. Great stuff. Waters was interviewed for the show. The "kids" (they're older than me!) all have a tale to tell their grand kids one day. Shame the old headmistress was such a miserable cuss. After the record was a hit, the British tabloid press accused the school of fostering an anti educational mentality, simply because of the lyric, and she bought into it, not allowing the children to appear in the video. That honour went to a bunch of posh drama school kids. Boooo. ------------- Perception is truth, ergo opinion is fact. |

| I read that the kids weren't allowed in the video as they didn't have Equity cards. |

In the doc it was suggested that that was just an excuse. After all, they didn't have Musician's Union membership either, which session musicians are supposed to have. ------------- Perception is truth, ergo opinion is fact. |

Interesting stuff, wish I'd seen it. Have any of the kids gone on to have a musical career? ------------- "The disgusting stink of a too-loud electric guitar.... Now, that's my idea of a good time." |
