Pink Floyd’s Roger Waters resurrecting The Wall
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Artist News, Concerts / Tours, Rock,
Pink Floyd founding member Roger Waters is taking The Wall back on tour.
The former bassist in the psychedelic rock band has previously staged the band’s show - in which the album The Wall is performed in its entirety while a physical wall is built between the band and the audience - 31 times since it was recorded in 1979, but is now about to embark upon a huge North American tour in support of the album’s 30th anniversary.
“30 Years ago when I wrote The Wall I was a frightened young man,” Waters told Spinner. “Well, not that young - I was 36 years old. It took me a long time to get over my fears. Anyway, in the intervening years it has occurred to me that maybe the story of my fear and loss with its concomitant inevitable residue of ridicule, shame and punishment, provides an allegory for broader concerns: Nationalism, racism, sexism, religion, whatever! All these issues and ‘isms are driven by the same fears that drove my young life.”

When it comes to public nudity, it doesn’t really matter if you have a point—it only matters if someone complains.
Although Erykah Badu was never cited at the time she shot her new video “Window Seat,” the singer now faces charges of disorderly conduct and a fine of $500 for her street performance on March 13. That was when she stripped naked in Dallas’ Dealey Plaza and acted as if she had been shot in the head.
Oh - and in case the location doesn’t sound familiar to you, that is also the same place where John F. Kennedy was assassinated in 1963.
