Pretty funny as I was pretty sure Waters was (is?) pretty liberal. I bet they think Money is about the joy of being rich as well.

They're comfortably numb...

Or just "a momentary lapse of reason."

He's the guy who SUPPORTS fox hunting, which is an awfully cruel sport.

Interesting how they chose to focus on the one and only format/demographic in which McCain won...Obama/Dems pretty much cleaned up every other demographic.



Not that this "survey" is anything other than BS, but you can check it out in detail here (new window) - lots of pretty colors!!!

They've got a bike we can ride if we like? OMFG, COMMUNISTS!



/already been greenlit, admins.

FeedTheCollapse is right.
Some dumbasses think their music is all about getting high. In reality, it's about dealing with mental-illness and/or protesting war.

Yes - please un-greenlight this sh.t. The Reuters writer needs to be severely beaten for presenting 1% of the data in that article.

As a Pink Floyd fan, I'm getting a kick out of this article. Actually, I want to kick the article writer.

I would like to think Floyd fans are open minded and vote with the heart & conscience and essentially disregard party affiliation.

republicans - why do they always have to meddle with everything?

Despite being socialists at heart, the left in this country introduced such concepts as moral relativity, bling and the MTV lifestyle. Nothing is more soulless than the gaudiness of bling and the association of one's identity for a farking brand name.

I'm sitting here listening to "Wish you were here live" and there is no way I'm voting for John McCain.

I need more coffee. "Wish you were here" live version.

repeat. ^{(^)} obviously the pinhead mods are so eager to greenlight anything making the GOP look good they overlooked the article just 3 threads down.

you guys are trying too hard. meanwhile important things get the redlight. things like the Joint Chiefs telling the country that we either have to change course,start a draft or break the Army.
Or many of the plethora of lies McCain has told in his transformation into the big pander bear of the right.

It's amazing to me the lies and disingenuous stuff the GOP talking heads are spewing about McSame. ^{(^)}

Moral relativity? Like, torture is OK if WE do it? Please, dude, the current Republican party (not Conservatives) is more pie-in-the-sky, kum-ba-yah than the weirdest lefto hippie you ever saw.

/You want the brown acid? You can't HANDLE the brown acid. (I'll take 2, please. $20? Kiss my ass!)

Maybe because your average Pink Floyd fan is about 57 years old.

Get 'em up against the wall!

Yeah right, and pigs might fly

I was at Roger Waters' solo show last summer up here at the Tweeter Center in Massachusetts (what they used to call Great Woods). During an absolutely epic version of Sheep, 2 handlers brought out the 20 foot inflatable pig. The ending of the song bursts into that mammoth clang of guitar chords and I'm literally dazed and covered in goosebumps it's such an awesome moment. The handlers turn the pig around and clear as day, in 2 foot tall letters, it says "IMPEACH BUSH" right across the ass. I was pleasantly shocked at such an overt political statement from one of my all time favorite artists. And clearly, who outside of this current crop of neo-conservative thugs better exemplifies the concept of "pigs" from Animals than the Bush Administration.

I figured it made Perfect Sense (another great Waters tune, btw). And as god as my witness, at least 75% of the audience was booing wildly and I openly heard dicks yelling "If you don't like it, go back to England!"

I turned to my wife and said, "Has a single one of these f*cking retards ever even LISTENED to a single damn lyric this man has written in the past 35 years?"

Dogs of war and men of hate
With no cause, we don't discriminate
Discovery is to be disowned
Our currency is flesh and bone
Hell opened up and put on sale
Gather 'round and haggle
For hard cash, we will lie and deceive
Even our masters don't know the web we weave

One world, it's a battleground
One world, and we will smash it down

As a diehard Pink Floyd fan, these people are probably the tools who've only heard of Money and Another Brick in the Wall, and didn't really pay attention to the words of those songs.

There isn't anything, lyrically, in the entire repetouire of Floyd that fits with modern GOP ideology. Although the first few albums were politically neutral, even the later albums (especially Animals and The Wall) were heavily against the consumerist, elitist politics that define modern conservatism, both in England and in the US.

Of course, that's without bringing up the drug culture affiliated with Floyd, which is of course definitely against Republican ideology (and sometimes against Democrat ideology).

Not saying all Floyd fans are Dems, or aren't GOPs, but I doubt that many Floyd fans of either gender are going to vote for the Republicans.

/of course, internet polling is bullshiat

The key here is that they listen to "Rock Radio." I don't know if you guys have ever listened to rock radio, but they take 2 or 3 singles each from a bunch of bands and play them over and over until your head spins. I've listened to radio stations at work, and they are playing the same songs agian within 6 hours.

Rock radio is for the people who like The Who because they have heard "Baba O'Riley" and "Who Are You," but have never listened to Tommy. It's for people who like the Rolling Stones because they like "Start Me Up" and "Jumpin Jack Flash" but they couldn't even tell you what the cover of Sticky Fingers looks like.

The same goes for Pink Floyd. People that get their music from Rock Radio have heard 2 or 3 Floyd songs and that's about it. They've never listened to The Wall and the only Floyd album they might own is a "greatest hits" CD.

Meanwhile the article headlined Hillary: Barrack can't win. Barrack: Hillary can't win. John: Zzzzzzz is only available on TF yet it's on my politics tab anyway.
I am annoyed!

Welcome my son, welcome to the machine.

That would've been awesome to see.

And so sad that so many people hated it. Seriously, have they actually paid attention to the lyrics?

I mean, it's one thing to claim to be a floyd fan after hearing a few of their songs on the radio. But to actually pay money to see a Waters concert and not be a fan? wtf

Roger's whole "drugs exacerbated Syd's mental problems" message hasn't sunk into the heads of a majority of Pink Floyd fans either.

Hasn't anybody noticed that this is a repeat?

It's awfully considerate for you to think of me here
And I'm much obliged to you for making it clear that I'm not here.
And I never knew the moon could be so big
And I never knew the moon could be so blue
And I'm grateful you threw away my old shoes
And brought me here instead dressed in red
And I'm wondering who could be writing this song

well, here's another male pink floyd fan who would NEVER vote republican even if charlie brown was the democratic cantidate..

This. "Animals" in particular isn't exactly what I would call on-message for the GOP, but I'm having trouble thinking of a Floyd song that is in keeping with the Republican message in any way.

Oh come on. Most Dems would immediately jump to "Dogs of War" as filling that criterion. :P

Hillary Cinton pulled that football away at the last moment just to make him look bad.

Ron Paul Revere: Both parties are full of it and corrupt. End of story. Taking any other position makes one a partisan hack.

YOU are the hack.

Parties are made of people. Some of those people are a little corrupt, some are very, very corrupt. A few are even decent people. At different times and in different ways, one party usually is more corrupt than the other. Having an arrogant President who appoints only friendly ideologues and "yes-men" and is supported (for most of the time) by a rubber-stamping Congress, and is highly secretive and very loose with interpretations of the Constitution and Executive power - for example - are elements that could lead to one party being demonstrably worse than the other.

Over the long, long term, your statement approaches truth, but in any given election, their are differences between the parties.

Sitting on your high horse and proclaiming people partisan hacks doesn't make you "above" it all - it makes you lazy, arrogant and complacent. I don't know you, so I am not concluding this of you, but I have known many people who dismissively brush off people as being stupid for favoring one party or another. This is almost always to excuse the fact that they don't know shiat about shiat.

Repeat?? (pops)

Gee...I dunno...if only there was some way to see if anybody noticed...if only one could somehow get an idea of what the people in this thread are thinking, and determine if anybody noticed....if only there were some way...hmmmm...if only...

Oh well, I guess not!!
