Roger Waters on Politics, War, Propaganda, Socialism, Veterans, Touring & Life

Roger Waters is Pink Floyd’s grand conceptualist, the driving force behind such albums as ’Dark Side of the Moon,’ ’Wish You Were Here,’ and ’The Wall.’ In the wake of Syd Barrett’s departure, Waters emerged as a formidable songwriter, but it’s this stretch of ’70s albums -- each one nearly symphonic in its reach -- that established him as a distinctive, idiosyncratic voice within rock, one with a sober morality and sardonic sense of humor. Waters left Pink Floyd after 1983’s ’The Final Cut,’ after which he recorded a triptych of concept albums -- ’The Pros and Cons of Hitchhiking,’ ’Radio .,’ and ’Amused to Death’ -- addressing personal and political struggles in the modern world. His long spell without new albums was broken in 2017 with the release of Is ’This the Life We Really Want?’ Roger is a leading dissident voice and one of the strongest proponents of Palestinian rights in the world today.
