It is possible to love Pink Floyd and Roger Waters solo. I do without any problem at all.

[@paulmor2023]

Absolutely! Rogers is the songwriter and lyrics of PF. You see that element big time in his solo music. David is the voice and guitar of PF, you can also hear that in his solo music as well. I like them both, some albums better than others. Both solo shows are fantastic and they play PF just fine!

[@dgk42]

Roger's politics aren't overly important to me. His music, Pink Floyd's music, is far more important. Yes, he does have capitalist, socialist, and various other tendencies. But no one person or country is going to succeed in trying to scare him to be something else. Even if so-called free countries force censorship on a album cover.

[@ss67camaronut]

@@dgk42 yes that was my point. 78 and still sounds and performs great , speaks his mind freely caring not if what he says doesn't conform to anyone else's agenda. He criticizes all . And says he doesn't care who disagrees, and that they are as free to leave as he is to speak his mind and doesn't apologize to anyone who disagrees. And all through music. Freakn AWESOME music too. Points out some truths about left, right, and middle that everyone should care about . The flying pig and anti fascist message and the presidential murder list are attempts to shock us away from any side and open our eyes to the death we cause while destroying our planet. RW is goin strong at 78 and I hope he keeps goin as long as he wants. Pink Floyds music lives in all of us . Its music that you truly feel and RW just wants us to think and reflect through the feels. 🤘😛♥️🏴‍☠️
