^^ agreed

Weird t hear RW complaint about some folks ... and he sounds just like them!

But I do think that him raving about politics, is sad ... and has been for many years! 

He does shoot arrows towards Gilmour (as expected) and Radiohead members (more surprisingly) for about 5 minutes.

That's at least music-related 

Say what you want, I agree with Roger

Yes

There was a time when making the comments and creating music made sense, including a political edge that was very strong and stood out ... it's hard to think of the Jefferson Airplane, Neil Young, Creedence Clearwater Revival (at least Tom Fogerty!), Fish, and many others that stood up against many things that were not quite right.

Today, given the mess that the Internet has created and every Dick, Joe, Harry and Kathy has an opinion that everyone thinks is valuable and important, the comments that RW is making is only stirring a lot more "I don't care anymore!", than it is helping any cause come alive. The sadness of it all is that the majority of opinions are not totally clear, other than the one point they wish to make, which is a repeat of the same topic over and over again, which has sent us to the "I don't care" department in things.

I, for one, don't want to hear this stuff anymore. But what are the options? Confetti laden and sugar coated fantasies? Images of love that is senseless and selfish? (Even shellfish'y!) ... and the sad part of it, is that it continues, and all it is doing is adding to the confusion and the desire to do nothing about it, which allows many tyrants to continue doing their own thing, since they know well enough that the opinions are not a reason for the events to stop at all ... and since we don't care much anymore ... it just makes things easier all around for them to continue it.

It is sad for me, to hear RW speak like that ... I kinda wish he would just write the music, and not say anything ... and perhaps set the controls for the heart of the spirit ... instead of trying to make the fire bigger yet.

Like all of us, I don't have an answer, except the cynical suggestion that this place has become over populated, and everyone thinks they are here to make their comments heard, important or not ... and since most don't seem to read or care about what is being said ... it only makes it all worse, be it RW or Joe Schmoe from Somewhere Else in this world.

I do wish that the over population everywhere, needs to stop, so we can catch up with ourselves, but ... this is hard ... I remember one time an interview with a street woman in the Middle East, and she said that she will get pregnant as many times she can to create more fighters against the evil of the Western World ... 

After a while ... it is really tough to digest ... and the reactions of not giving a damn, just seem the only option that we have. I have no solution, and am not sure that anything I say is valuable or important, even if some things said, are important ... but not to many others out there ... and what are we left with?

Nothing!

Hi,

Honestly I do not mind the opinion. What bothers me, is when the person goes out and tries to indoctrinate everyone else with their ideas ... it's sick.

I prefer an old Hindu fake-proverb ... that when we have ideas about politics, we should have some tea over it, so that they won't go any further ... but some folks obviously think they are better and know more ... and have to join the list of megalomaniacs out there ... 

There used to be a comment a long time ago that specified rock stars should keep their mouths shut! ... it applies here, but I'm not sure that Ohio and Neil Young should exactly be told to shut up ... that would be very inappropriate, specially for the many folks here (like me as well), that lived through that time (in Madison, WI for me), and saw these things first hand!

However, I honestly feel that RW is burning off his influence and talent wasting his time on matters that he can not do anything about! ... makes me think that RW is just another brick in the wall ... and making things even more confusing for all of us!
