PHILADELPHIA - Back in the later seventies when Roger Waters conceived Pink Floyd`s "The Wall," the band`s landmark double-album about isolation and psychological torment - with its rebellious cry, "We don`t ask no education!" - the bass player says he was "a terrified young man."
But these days, Waters sees his magnum opus in more positive terms.
For better or worse, there is a certain point of musical snobbery when itcomes to the very touchy subject of bands who prefer to bring the material ofother bands instead of writing their own. Some musicians and songwriters furrowtheir eyebrows and look disdainfully upon cover acts, somehow seeing them as alesser pedigree of musician therefore somehow less significant than their ownoriginal work.
