#1 Pretty much all "artists" are spoiled losers that only think about getting themselves into the press.

#2 But I would be terribly afraid they'd go, 'This is that pinko shitbag who's attacking our President in time of war'

Ah, go ahead and put in the ad. We already think you're a pinko shitbag...

#3 It's funny how all these non-citizens are injecting themselves into the Dem primary.

Sir Elton for Hillary, now Roger Waters for BO.

Maybe Frank Zappa's dream that the whole world getting to vote for US President is coming closer to fruition.

#4 So that dungheap is living in New York but is too good for citizenship?

Who gives a fuck what he thinks? Waters hasn't written a line worth pissing to since sometime in 1980, anyways.

#5 Yeah, like anyone in the US got to vote for the governments of Europe that sat in 1914 and 1939. If they'd had played nice, the Americans would have remained their quaint little selves content on the western shores of the Atlantic.

#6 Let's pitch in and move Waters into the penthouse apartment on Manhattan's tallest remaining skyscraper.

#7 Come in here, dear boy, have a cigar. youre gonna go far, fly high,
Youre never gonna die, youre gonna make it if you try;theyre gonna love you.
Well Ive always had a deep respect, and I mean that most sincerely.
The band is just fantastic, that is really what I think. oh by the way,
Which ones pink?
And did we tell you the name of the game, boy, we call it riding the
Gravy train.

#8 Did people ask the opinions of Popstars back in the 50s and 60s? I know in the 60s they wrote their politics into songs. Now they want to posture without even that effort.

I liked Floyd but after the split it was never the same.

#9 However, I will nominate "pinko shitbag' as today's "Phrase That Pays"...

#10 Just wanted to add that the inlines are brilliant!

#11 Hey Roger - feel free to shut your limey pie-hole at any time, huh? When we want your opinion, we'll slap it outta ya.

#12 Ah, Roger Waters.

1. Drove Richard Wright out of the band.
2. Belittled Nick Mason to the point of not being able to play.
3. Awarded "Best Bass Guitarist" in Guitar Player Magazine for lines played by David Gilmour.

Not much of a lyricist or singer, maybe, but a real humanitarian.

#13 Hey, Rog!

Feel free to head back to Limeyville anytime, bud. I'm sure the Muzzies will give your musical tastes lots of respect and appreciation. As for the rest of us in the U.S. we DON'T "wish you were here."

#14 the only redeeming quality about Rog Waters is that his Dad fought and died at Anzio - he evidently doesn't get what those investments are all about.

...you take the blade, you make the chage, you re-arrange me until I'm sane......
