"🎵....Remembering days of daisy chains and laughs🎵 Got to keep your loonies on the path🎵" Roger Waters - Braindamadge -DSOTM - to this day, greatest thing I've heard! I'm just sad that his "partner in crime" , Gilmour,is total opposite of Roger in ideology (Ukraine war particularly) & seems to me that they'll never be able to burry the hatchet, unfortunately!

Years ago I kept hearing people claim that Waters was an anti-semite and I internalize it and thought "what a shame". Years later I discovered that it was a common tactic intended to smear activists with this false label and I felt foolish and guilty for being so gullible. Now that I'm awake I see this dirty tactic everywhere and realize when I'm being propagandized for the furtherance a dangerous narrative. I have so much respect for Roger and his integrity in the face of so much contrived hatred.

Hi Chris! I am a life long jazz musician and never paid too much attention to Roger. But man...I cannot tell you how grateful I am for this interview. I had no idea about any of his background and what a great human being he is. Those of us in the music world who try to let people know about the reality of things really risk our careers and sometimes a lot more. I have traveled internationally for the last 2 decades and can tell you...I am ashamed many times when i have to take out my US passport. People look at me with HATE many times i tell you! I have lost many friends for touring in China! It is truly unreal how much ignorance there is. So now I mostly just play and get out to the next gig to continue my life, but....Its super tiring dealing with this as a musician and trying to even let people into my mind, to know my opinion about war and what the US does in this world! I am grateful to you in so many ways. I have watched you for a long time now, just to keep my mind in peace knowing that not everyone is totally corrupt and brainwashed. This interview gave me another reason to be at peace in the world and have a little more healing from the battles. My family has a long history of activism as well. My cousins were tortured in South America. Jailed. My uncle's persecuted by government police and military for going to Cuba back in the 70's and etc etc. So you can imagine why I listen to you. Not from anger...but from a place where I can find peace in my heart. To deal with the condition we find ourselves in. And to know I am not alone. Thank you again. And many big hugs. P

Use a good stereo system with high quality headphones. If you are so inclined, drink a cup of herbal tea or imbibe of an herb of your choice before you begin this experience.

I’m not a Pink Floyd fan musically by any stretch, but Waters words do resonate with me, very much. thank you, Chris.

I got welled up with emotions hearing Roger express his emotions, he and pink floyd have influenced multiple generations with their gift of music, I think I was 7 the 1st time I heard pink floyd, 1976, and ever since. God Bless You Roger Waters

A true Homo SAPIENS… I seriously doubt, though, such (un)happy few lucid minds will be in any capacity to awake some day the huge majority of the chained Prisoners gathered inside the global 2.0 Plato’s Cave… Humankind more and more as the most doomed species ever on this tiny, extraordinary, but miserable rock.
