idk i'm still disappointed. i mean i wouldn't be _surprised_ if he went full-on anti-semite either, but it'd break my heart a little.
is this that fucker greenwald's fault? like with the snowden thing we were talking in the other thread? goddamn it, roger, if it's the only way to get you to stop being such an asshole, i guess we can go with it. i mean comfortably numb _is_ the best song about dissociation ever written (me, age 17: "why do i relate to this so much? i'm not an arena rock star taking powerful tranquilizers")

he saw people saying "pink floyd rules" and he thought we meant autocratically
Speaking of Waters, I noticed recently that fittingly, "Take Up Thy Stethascope & Walk" is the only song on Piper at the Gates of Dawn which doesn't have it's own wikipedia page.

I believe that's giving Greenwald too much credit. You could make an equally compelling argument that Waters now is what happens when someone stays in psychoanalysis too long (iirc Waters said that he's been going to psychoanalysis for 20+ years). I think he sees himself quite literally as a Freudian-Marxist ubermensch - someone who's channelled their own alienation into a belief that their alienation speaks for everyone else who is alienated. There are multiple academic papers that look at The Wall through the filters of Freud, Jung, and Oedipus - a viewpoint I suppose could be useful if someone wants to deconstruct how Roger spent the last forty years getting from there to here.
OTOH, you could save yourself a lot of discourse and just chalk it up to someone who has channeled their persecution complex and siege mentality into a net worth of $310 million. Who else but Roger would have the total narcissistic belief that an open letter to Putin would stop the war?

"You won't catch me speaking on propaganda channels like MSNBC, Fox or anything else in between" says Waters in an interview on China state propaganda channel CGTN.

The best A.I. generated music video I've seen so far, because it's not just one image per lyric, it's a continuous animation, any frame of which could be the cover of a 1970 sci-fi paperback.
Now if only they could run the file through something to clean up all the jpeg or YouTube compression artifacts.

"Goodbye Blue Sky" showed up in an episode of Rick and Morty, and it occurred to me that I don't come across Pink Floyd songs that often in pop culture. I think a couple have showed up in Marvel movies recently. Didn't they sell their catalog recently? Or was that delayed?
― Josh in Chicago, Sunday, 11 December 2022 23:08 (one year ago) link
I recently started watching Mythic Quest, and one episode had a large chunk of “Shine On You Crazy Diamond.” I thought, “wow, that couldn’t have been cheap,” and I struggled to recall other TV shows with Floyd songs in them (WKRP was all I could come up with). Then a week later I saw “Goodbye Blue Sky” in Rick & Morty and wondered the same thing you did, if they’d sold their catalog.

I want to say "Comfortably Numb" was in something high profile, but it was a Waters solo version? I *think* (too lazy to google) that the rights to the early stuff was sold, but the sale of the blockbuster era was put on hold while Waters wilded out (rhetorically).
― Josh in Chicago, Monday, 12 December 2022 13:30 (one year ago) link
The Watets "Comfortably Numb" was in The Departed, which led to it being on The Sopranos when Christopher was killed (he & Tony had been listening to a CD-R of the soundtrack).
