    In Hartford, CT.

    If you like Pink Floyd, you’ll really like the show.

    If you don’t like Trump, you’ll really, really like the show.

    The highlight to me was “Pigs (Three Different ones).”

    This was where, without changing a single lyric, he REALLY went after Trump with the visuals:

    “Pigs (Three Different Ones)”

    Big man, pig man, ha ha, charade you are
    You well heeled big wheel, ha ha, charade you are
    And when your hand is on your heart
    You’re nearly a good laugh
    Almost a joker
    With your head down in the pig bin
    Saying “keep on digging”
    Pig stain on your fat chin
    What do you hope to find?
    When you’re down in the pig mine
    You’re nearly a laugh
    You’re nearly a laugh
    But you’re really a cry.
    Bus stop rat bag, ha ha, charade you are
    You fucked up old hag, ha ha, charade you are
    You radiate cold shafts of broken glass
    You’re nearly a good laugh
    Almost worth a quick grin
    You like the feel of steel
    You’re hot stuff with a hat pin
    And good fun with a hand gun
    You’re nearly a laugh
    You’re nearly a laugh
    But you’re really a cry.
    Hey you Whitehouse, ha ha, charade you are
    You house proud town mouse, ha ha, charade you are
    You’re trying to keep our feelings off the street
    You’re nearly a real treat
    All tight lips and cold feet
    And do you feel abused?
    …..!…..!…..!…..!
    You gotta stem the evil tide
    And keep it all on the inside
    Mary you’re nearly a treat
    Mary you’re nearly a treat
    But you’re really a cry.

    My wife couldn’t believe how relevant it was without changing a single word.

    Roger is in Boston for two shows, Wednesday and Thursday. Highly recommended.

    He actually has a new album which he played four songs from, but lots of “Dark Side”, two from “Animals”, two from “Wish You Were Here”, one from “Meddle”, and 4 or 5 from “The Wall”.

    That would be a great concert. Pink Floyd is one of those bands that I regret never seeing live.

    Pink Floyd!

    Saw them twice, in Philadelphia at the old JFK stadium and in Minneapolis in the old Metrodome. Both great shows, love Pink Floyd!

    Yeah, Waters is quite political. He actually takes on the Israeli Occupation, which is unusual among privileged celebrity millionaire rock stars.

    Thanks for posting the interview, WV. Lots of hate in the comments below it and a few of the other vids too. Maybe just a microcosm of the world we live in.
