Roger Waters - The Pros & Cons of Going Solo

Me, too. 

Is this the album we really want!?? A gloomy album - even by Roger's maudlin standards - about the plight of child refugees being killed in political turmoil around the world. 

Roger Waters harping on about war and politics again? Sounds like Deja Vu to me. 

Hi,

The music itself is always really nice ... no question there. However, getting hit over the head with his mouth frying pan gets a bit boring after a while, and at that point I tune it out ... and haven't really bothered with him, since I got a chance to see his version of The Wall, here in POrtland, done in 2-dimentional style, and a terrible design all around for the production, considering how it was originally set in a few cities. 

His wanting to "update it" was bad, and that's when his frying pan started to sound out ... and it hasn't stopped since.

Instead of engaging folks in anger, he should try and help folks vote, in America, but then, he things there is no choice here either, and would not waste his time, on something that is actually a lot more meaningful than his frying pan! And his comment about Mrs. Harris, is not nice ... and he obviously is not as on top of it, and knowing what is happening in some places, as he thinks he is .... 

While there is a place for anti-war anything, in the end, half of it is not good, and ends up getting more people wanting to go fight, than otherwise. Or it gets the cynical side of things ... when you hear what Maria Betania's song was about ... and then see it shown on Apocaliptyc Now ... it's difficult to see that this is anti-war sentiment ... nope ... it is a kill'em'all NOW! .... which is worse! ... not to mention that in her song, one could easily connect it with Brazilian History and the violent Portuguese, Spanish and Dutch!
