Hi,
I bought today the final cut, and quite enjoyed it, until Roger waters started with:
"Brezhnev took afghanistan
Begin took Beirut
Galteieri took the union jack
and maggie over lunch one day
took a crusier with all hands
apparently to make him give it back"
Even worse on the next track roger suggusts
to put all of the dictators and terorists in a closed TV circuit, as a solution. and Who is there? Not Saddam Hussain,Arafat,the Fascistic Galteieri,Humeini,or a such, but
Menahem Begin, Ronald Reagan,Maggie Thatcher,
oh and yeah, he puts them together with
Brezhnev and some "group of anonymous latin-american meat packing glitterati"...
Further More, How Dare he compare the Lebanon war with the russian invasion into afghanistan and with the falkland war?
at first, the falkland islands are thousands of miles away from the british coasts, while Lebanon boards with israel, and Brezhnev
Attacked with No provocation from the Afghan
side while the PLO which led lebanon into civil war, after driven off from jordan, where the PLO tried to overthrow the Existing
monarchy and government which gave it refuge,
Fired Not "Katyusha" Rockets but Military Artilery on Israelian Civilian Settlements, Towns and cities, Deep into the Galil, and Murdered more than a thounsand Christians in Lebanon, just for their beliefs.
The Israelian Government had to do something,
for Its citizens lifes was in danger and The UN forces inside Lebanon did nothing usefull.
It's obvious That roger doesn't knows what he's talking about, and I would recommand him to live for 2 weeks in the northen Galil
during 1982 or to speak with the people who's
human rights was taken during the fascist rule in Argentina, maybe than He will understand why I was pissed off in the middle of one of my Favourite Band's Brand New Bought album.
I won't stop listening to pink Floyd, but I'm surer than ever, that altough this is a Good album, this album would never be number one
on my top five Floyd albums.
