A song probably meant for the Final Cut....
I think the typed message at the beginning of the video is for the benefit of those of us who don't know what Two Suns in the Sunset is all about. Like me, for instance, up until today. Embarrassed
I have no interest in his feelings about the possibility of nuclear holocaust......Nuke

^ I posted the Two Suns in the Sunset video because it's a great song - regardless of Roger Waters' politics - and still sounding just as good 40 years on. Smile

^I totally agree. It's a fantastic song, melody and lyrics wise.

And I really mean FANTASTIC, notwithstanding what others think (about all-Waters-output).

Something about the whole Roger Waters issue, which I haven't followed at all, but I just think in general that it's important 
to think about on what basis/which sources one find good and sufficient enough to make an opinion and conclusion - especially 
when criticizing, as it is a serious matter.

^ Opinions can be based on thoughts and convictions. Of course, these are based on something, but that can be as vague as "education" or "life experience". And, someone who needs "sources" to form opinions is probably reproducing opinions of others...

Totally agree. The Pros and Cons of Hitch-Hiking is my favourite Roger Waters album too, which has nothing at all to do with Linzi Drew being on the album cover. Honestly! Tongue

I'm talking about matters of which one doesn't have personal experiences, so it can't be avoided to some degree "reproduce" informations/opinions from/of others.

Indeed. "That" quote has gotten annoying, to say the least. (Someone loves to repeat that at every opportunity.)
