Re: DOGS SHEEP OR PIGS

Ok- Roger IS singing about Mary Whitehouse. As he puts it:

"She doesn't really merit the attention but she really is a cry...and she is a terribly frightened woman, isn't she? Terrified. Why does she make such about everything if she's not motivated by fear? Why doesn't she just get on with everything? She's frightened that we're all perverted."

Apparently, he used to think of Margeret Thatcher whenever he sung "Pigs".

As for "Sheep",he talks about the riots that occured in Toxteth and Brixton in the early 1980's and prophesises further uprisings in the future. He opines:

"We get obsessed with things- products- and if we're persuaded it's important to have them, that we're nothing without them, and there aren't enough to go round, the people without are going to get angry. Content and discontent follow very closely the rise and fall of the graph of world recession and expansion."

Ahhh, Rog.


You gotta love him.
