Roger Waters interviewed in European press

On Monday, Croatia's Vecernji List newspaper had a nice, prominent interview with Roger Waters in the print version of their publication (and available online for those with a subscription).Our friend Bran tells us thatthe article is highly politicized and I remember the journalist might have misunderstood some things. Anyway, Roger is saying that he heard about our young protesters on the streets and the corrupt politiciansand that he is all for protests agains the government.

The headline is: 'Croatians must protest. Your ex-Prime Minister is in gaol and the state is run by corrupt politicians'. He also declared that he wo'nt put pictures of our victims from the war on the wall, the usual 'I don't acknowledge what will pass with the Floyd story, if David calls for another reunion like Live 8 he'll be glad to unite in. He mentioned that he has a lot of new material piled up and that he will issue a new album when he'll find some concept that will tie it all into something coherent. The sleep of it is basically world wars, great differences between the pathetic and the rich, talks about unneccesary interventions of US and UK in Iraq. Nothing spectacular really, but it's courteous to see the great Rog speaking to Croatian journalists and beholding this in our newspapers. Our thanks to Bran for his assistance in bringing this data to you.Elsewhere, as Manuel Mariño Reino tells us, Roger's Wall tour was the theme of a nearly 15 minute piece on Spanish TV, which you can see on demand through this link (http://www.rtve.es/alacarta/videos/i.muro/1056133/). Naturally, it's total of spoilers for the show, so don't check if you don't need to see what occurs prior to attending an upcoming show!
