ROGER WATERS, LIVE BY SATELLITE

//////////////////||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||\\\\\\\\\\\\ \\\\\\

(Australia, May 4, 1988)

~~~~~

Contributor's introduction...

Well, I've finally finished typing this up... it's a one-hour
program, which was aired on radio here in Australia, on 4th May,
1988. We isolated, Floyd-starved Aussies were able to talk to
Roger Waters via satellite, over the phone.

I taped it, while I dialled my finger off to get on
(yeah, we didn't have a push-button phone back then)... and I hit
paydirt (I *thought*) about two-thirds of the way through the
program. I was then put (on hold) - "while you wait to speak to
Roger" - as the woman answering the incoming calls put it.
After a few minutes (on hold) while my ECG developed some ectopic
heartbeats, she said she was sorry, but they had enough calls to
fill the rest of the show, but I could always call back *next* week,
to speak to two of the members of INXS...

I _declined_ the offer *firmly*, and I am ashamed to say I may not have
even been a hundred percent polite... and after I hung up (even more firmly)
I let loose with a tirade that Roger himself would have been "proud"
of. I never thought I would actually succeed in getting through, but when I
DID, I thought I was IN - so I was extremely disillusioned by what
had happened.

Anyway, I wanted to type this up, and post it to echoes, before my
seven-year "bitch" about this became eight years... plus I wanted
to contribute something of value (?) to the list, and to the archives...

"KH" is Kevin Hillier, the host of the phone-in program, and Roger is
live via satellite, in London. I'll get out of way now, but I've
*tried* to preserve the various inflections in Roger's answers...


==================================================


KH - I'm Kevin Hillier! Tonight it's radio KAOS (isn't it always!) as
we welcome our very special guest, live from London, former Pink Floyd
man, Roger Waters. So jump on the phone (008 033 300 - that's
toll free) to talk to Roger Waters in London. And welcome to a very special
edition of ANZ Rocksat; live in the palatial BBC Woodlands studios
in London is Roger Waters. Good evening, Roger, how are you?

RW - I'm alright Kevin - how are you?

KH - Now are they _palatial_ BBC studios? We hear so much about the
*Beeb* over here.

RW - they certainly are. It's sort of ... rococo marble floors,
marble ceiling...

KH - (sighs)

RW - ... it's exquisite...

KH - Divine...

RW - It's all done in the best possible taste...

KH - (sniggers) And so too hopefully will be the next hour of Rocksat
for ANZ bank, and in fact we're making a little bit of radio history
tonight, because it is the very first international Rocksat, broadcast
from London, and you are able to talk to Roger, simply by picking
up the phone. It's been about 15 years since you were last in Australia,
Roger - uh looking forward to tonight, and talking to some of the people
who just may have seen you on that tour?

RW - Yes.

KH - Alright, well lets get stuck into it - straight up -here *is*
Roger Waters, *Radio Waves* from Radio KAOS...

(Radio Waves is played)

KH - Roger, Radio KAOS in LA, is there actually such a station?

RW - No there isn't. Er, there is a Radio KAOS, but it's a student
Station in Oregon.

KH - *Right*. Oh well we hopefully... er won't...

RW - but...

KH - yeah...

RW - Yeah, I was jus... I was just gonna say that KAOS is *loosely*
based upon a station that closed in LA last year called KMET.

KH - Oh, right! Is that actually a guy that you'd used the voice-overs
for, who actually worked on KMET?

RW - Yeah, Jim Ladd was one of the DJs at KMET, in it's heyday.

KH - Well, let's hit the phones now...
And First up is Rex, listening to MMM in Sydney. Hi Rex...

Rex - How are ya?

KH - Bounce your call across the the uh satellite links to London.

Rex - I'm _bounced_.

(general laughter)

KH - OK...

Rex - Hello...

RW - Hi Rex.

Rex - Hello, how are you, man?

RW - All right, thanks.

Rex - That's not bad. Well, my question was, what inspired you to write
The Wall, because I'm a really big fan?

RW - A number of things, but the starting point for the Wall was playing
a gig at Olympic Stadium in Montreal in 1977 at the end of the Animals
tour...

Rex - Right.

RW - ...and I'd finally become completely disillusioned with the whole
idea of stadium gigs in rock 'n roll, because I'd come to the conclusion
they're not about music or communication or any of the things that I'm
interested in - they're only about money.

Rex - Yeah, sure, - I can dig that.

RW - And so the*theatrical idea* which was the centre of the
theme of building a wall of bricks across the front of the stage,
hile a band is actually playing, is an expression of the distance
was feeling at that time from the audience. Ummmh...

Rex - Did this have anything to do with your actual life, or you know,
our early life?

RW - Yeah it is it is partially uh autobiographical... I've taken
..it's... it's a lot about my early life... I mean my father being
killed and all that stuff, and... and some of it's about Syd and
some of it's drawn from other experiences, you know... writing a
piece like that's a bit like... I suppose writing a novel, or
writing anything - you draw largely from your own experience, but
also from other peoples that you know well.

KH - Alright Rex, thanks a lot for your call, listening to MMM
in Sydney. Now we've got er Jeff listening to FM 104 in
Brisbane - hi Jeff!

Jeff - G'day.

KH - What's your question for Roger?

Jeff - Roger, speaking about Syd - what is Syd Barrett doing nowadays?

RW - He just lives quietly in Cambridge, with his mum.

KH - He's not involved in music at all, Rog?

RW - No. He's not involved in anything very much.

Jeff - Damn shame...

RW - Well, he's schizophrenic..., and has been since 1968.

Jeff - ohhh...

KH - Gee, that's sad - that *is* sad... thanks for your call, Jeff.

Jeff - Thank you.

KH - And now we move onto Kaye, listening to FOX-FM in Melbourne - hi Kaye!

Kaye - Hi. How are you?

KH - I'm terrific - what's your question for Roger Waters?

Kaye - Right - Roger. I was just wondering - with your song
"Wish You Were Here" - was that directed at anyone in particular,
or was it just another of your great songs?

RW - Ahh, no - it wasn't directed at - I s'pose you could say within
the context of that record it... maybe... it was more about Syd
Barrett than about anyone else. Though I would have to try and
remember all the lyrics - no, it think it was - it was more a
general song about... umm... feeling a sense of loss when you're
not with somebody that you love, or have loved, or...

Kaye - Yeah, that's what I thought... it's really deep and it's an
excellent song, like all your others...

RW - Thank you.

Kaye - OK, nice talking with you, Roger.

RW - And you.

KH - Kaye, thanks for your call, listening to FOX-FM in Melbourne -
actually, we'll give you a chance to re-live the lyrics of
"Wish You Were Here" a little later on, Roger - we're gonna actually
play a live version from your solo tour, out of last year, when you
played in Quebec, in Canada. Remember that gig?

RW - I do indeed.

KH - Alright, we're gonna play that a little later on, but right now
we might slip into a Pink Floyd classic, featuring Roger - *Money*...


(Money is played)


KH - We've got Cheryl, listening to 96 FM in Perth - hi, Cheryl!

Cheryl - Hello - how are you?

KH - I'm fine - you have a question for Roger?

Cheryl - Roger, I'd like to ask you - what your ultimate goal in
life would be?

Roger - I'd like to die a very old and happy man.

KH and Cheryl - (general laughter)...

KH - Sounds fair to me. How about musically, Roger?

Roger - Musically?... Well, I'd just like to go on doing work that
I... ahh, believe in.

KH - Yeah. Do you have any... um... do you have... do you set yourself
goals for albums, in terms of... you'd like it to get to this
position on the chart - do you... do you have those kind of,
err_material_ goals, with your music?

RW - Ahh, no. They're a bit of a waste of time. It's best to just
throw 'em out, and see what happens.

KH - Alright.

RW - There... there are other things I want to do. I'm involved at
the moment in uhh ... I'm trying to find a decent film project...

KH - Ohhhhh...

RW - to do a film score for - and there's one in the pipeline
that will be great, if it comes off...

KH - Alright, thanks for your call, Cheryl, listening to 96 FM in
Perth, and now we've got Peter, listening to SA-FM in Adelaide... hi Pete!

Pete - Hi.

KH - Your question for Roger...

Pete - Yeah, Roger, umm on the last album, Radio KAOS - the err rather
optimistic song, "The Tide is Turning" - I was wondering if that was
a genuine feeling, or just wishful thinking, and if so err where you
sort of found this optimism, where you saw the tide *was* turning.

RW - Sorry, what was your name again?

Pete - Pete.

RW - Pete?

Pete - Yeah.

RW - Well, I tend to go up and down like a yo-yo, Pete.. some..
some... some uhh afternoons I feel extremely optimistic and uhh
sometimes uhh at four o'clock in the morning, I feel a deep and
black gloom coming over me, as I... as I lie awake...

Pete - Yeah.

RW - I feel we're at a bit of a watershed, you know, and...
uhh, my hope is that umm because of the advances that have been made
in the technology of communication, it... it becomes easier and easier for
individuals to communicate directly with one another, and bypass uhh the
powers that be, and uhh take control of the uhh ... of the uhh...
the way the uhh... the Earth is organised. Uhh, uh, at this time,
at twenty-four minutes past twelve on this.... uh Wednesday afternoon,
am I... I am optimistic now!

Pete - Oh, that's good...

RW - But by tea time I might be pessimistic again, y'know,
it's a... it's a... it's a strange piece of history we're
living through, but at least because of uhh... television, we all get a
chance to see more of what's going on than they did in the middle of
the last century.

Pete - Right...

KH - Thanks for your call, Pete.

Pete - OK, thank *you*.

KH - We might slip into into, err... a track that's live and
exclusive to Rocksat tonight, and it err goes back to err
1987 - Roger, your solo tour - you were in Quebec, in
Canada - was it a good night?

RW - It was a great night, yeah... the... the French Canadians
are very warm people, and it was a good night.

KH - Well, let's have a listen to it now, live and exclusive to
Rocksat - *Wish You Were Here*...


(Wish You Were Here is played)...


KH - Live and exclusive to Rocksat - that's err Roger Waters and
The Bleeding Hearts Band, recorded in Quebec, during Roger's solo
tour in 1987... and Wish You Were Here... who was in the band
at that stage, Roger?

RW - Uhh, Graham Broad on drums, Katie Kassoon and Doreen Chanter...
vocals, Paul Carrack... keyboard and vocals, uhh... Andy Fairweather
Low... vocals and umm guitars and bass, Mel Collins...
saxophones, and Jay Stapley... guitar.

KH - Now, you're currently putting together a new album - umm
is that the same people who you have involved in this new album
you're recording?

RW - Umm - Andy Fairweather Low is involved and.. uhh, most of the
people are the same... yeah, most of the people are the same.

KH - Andy Fairweather Low of course will be remembered as a member of
Amen Corner, here in Australia, who had... uh... one big hit, of
"Paradise is Half as Nice."
Good stuff! Lets... uhh, let's hit the phones again...
008 033 300 is the number, if you want to talk to Roger
tonight, who's sitting in the BBC studios in London... we've got Karen,
listening to MMM in Sydney - hi!

Karen - Hi!

KH - What's your question for Roger?

Karen - Uhh... who wrote most of the... uhh... songs for Pink Floyd?

RW - I didn't catch that, Karen.

Karen - Umm... who wrote most of the songs for Pink Floyd?

RW - (mostly laughter, and a canine grin)... Errr... I did.

Karen - (giggles) *You did* (giggles)...

RW - Yes, I did...

KH - And justifiably proud of the fact, too, I would imagine?

RW - Wellll... I dunno...

KH - YEAH! Is there any you go back on, and go "Awwww.. wish
I hadn't done that"?

RW - Umm... possibly "Take Up Thy Stethoscope and Walk" from the very
first album..., but... but most of it I err... quite like...
I'm not very keen on Atom Heart Mother, for students of...
uhh... of the old Pink Floyd catalogue - I thought that was
rather a... a - I thought the err... instrumental
piece that takes up side one was rather *dull*, in retrospect.

KH - Alright, thanks for your call, Karen. We've got Rob in
Perth, listening to 96 FM - hi Rob!

Rob - Hi!

KH - Fire your question at Roger.

Rob - Uhh yeah - I saw Pink Floyd ummm a few months ago,
but I've never seen you in concert, so I was wondering if you had
any plans to tour Australia in the near future?

RW - Umm... well I... you were... you were... you were all part of
my plan err last year, when I was errr... I was touring err ...
I toured America for a couple of months, and the plan was to
go on to err... Australia, and we had talks
with... who's the promoter there? Paul Dainty, is it?

KH - Yesss, there's a couple of them, actually, but he's one of them...

RW -Yeah, I think... I think it was him - yeah - and, uhh..., there
was *no interest*, I am afraid, so we couldn't come.

Rob - Ohh... right...

RW - It's not something that I can do... as a hobby...

Rob - Yeah...

KH - (laughs)... Is it...uhh...

RW - ... Y'know, I put on a... well... I put on a... well... a
very involved show, with uhh Quad sound and films and all the kinds
of things I used to do with Floyd, and it costs a lot of money to
take it around... I'm not just... I'd like to come to
Australia... there has to be *interest* there, before I can tour.

KH - I think there is certainly interest _now_ since The Tide is Turning
- it got a lot of radio airplay in Australia, and I think people are
more aware of what you are doing now.

RW - Well...

KH - ... COME ON DOWN!

RW - ... I will approach all the Australian promoters, and if any one
of them is prepared to offer me a deal that... that doesn't
cost me - I don't need to make a profit, but I... but I
really err... can't go on, y'know, spending lots of money, touring
strange places. I'd love to go to Australia and play!

KH - Alright, thanks for your call, Rob.

Rob - Yep... no worries...

KH - We might slip into a little bit more, urrr... music, on Rocksat,
live via satellite across Australia, and tonight across the world with
Roger Waters - you can join us on 008 033 300. Here's the Floyd,
with uh... *Another Brick in the Wall*...


(Another Brick in the Wall Part II is played)...


KH - Another Brick in the Wall, Roger?... uhhhm - the film that was
made... uh based on... on a lot of that work... umm - what did you think
of that film, when it was all sort-of washed up, and you had a chance
to have a look at it, maybe a few years down the track?

RW - Well, I haven't looked at it err recently, but I was...
I was a bit disappointed with it in the end, because umm at the end
of the day I felt no sympathy at all with err the lead character... the
character that Geldof played.

KH - Yeah, right...

RW - A... and I err found it was mmm so *unremitting* in its onslaught
upon the senses, that umm... it didn't actually err... give me,
anyway, as an audience, a chance to get involved with it.

KH - Alright... well we might...

RH - It was *spectacular* I thought, visually... umm I mean...

KH - _Yes_!

RW - ... I mean Alan Parker is... is... ahhh is a ve... is an _extremely
accomplished technician_.
(laughs)...

KH - (giggling conspiratorially)... Said he laughingly... alright!... -
If you want to talk to Roger tonight, about _anything_ ahh you like,
you can give us a call... it's as simple as picking up the phone, and
here's the number to dial...


(break to advertisements.)


KH - Well, let's hit the phones again, to talk to Roger Waters,
and first up... John, listening to SA-FM, in Adelaide - hi John!

John - G'day.

KH - You have a question for Roger, obviously...

John - Yes, please...

KH - Go ahead!

John - Ahh... G'day Roger - umm, why do you always wear dark glasses
when you're having your photo taken?

RW - Well... well I haven't always in the past... I have recently,
ummm .... and I'll tell you why... it... it means that if I can
project an image of someone wearing dark glasses, then when I'm not
wearing them (and wearing dark glasses is something I very rarely do)...
nobody recognises me!

John - Ohh, *yeah*...

RW - Which is, err ... y'know... something I'd like to promote. To
preserve my anonymity.

(general laughter)

KH - Actually, you're *famous* for your anonymity, aren't you, Roger?

RW - (laughs, very briefly)

[Ed: The laugh is vaguely reminiscent of the look of a dog, when
you suddenly realise that it just *might* bite]

KH - ... uh, never mind... thanks for your call, John.

John - No worries - thanks.

KH - We have err Jefferson, listening to FM 104 in Brisbane - hi!

Jefferson - G'day!

KH - Alright - fire your question at Roger, listening to... ahh...
to you, in the BBC studios in London.

Jefferson - Righty- ho... yeah, *Roger*? Uhh, out of the Pink
Floyd albums, which one would be your favourite, and why?

RW - _The Wall_. Because it has... well actually, no,
I don't... YES... I s'pose I said that without thinking, so it
probably is. I dunno, its very _complete_..._ it's got...
its...its..i... its got great _form_, I believe...

Jefferson - Yeah, right...

RW - And it's...

Jefferson - I was hoping...

RW - uhh...

Jefferson - ... 't might be Ummagumma!

RW - You were, were you?... Umm, remind me of Ummagum.. that was the
one with... umm... where half the album was live from Mothers' in Birmingham,
and the other half was bits that we all made up individually.

Jefferson - That's the one...

RW - Yeah... - well, that's - not - my - favourite...!

KH - (laughs)... Thanks Jefferson, for your call. Now we've got
David, listening to FOX in Melbourne. Hi Dave.

David - Hi!

KH - Your question for Roger?

David - What inspired you to write The Embryo, from the... on
the Works album?

RW - Embryo?

David - Yeahh...

RW - Errr...

David - Previously unreleased...

RW - I... I honestly can't remember - we're talking about
20 years ago, now...

David - Well, I...

RW - I really don't remember!... is that Jefferson? Is that what I heard?

KH - No, David...

David - David...

RW - _David_! David... yeah... I don't remember, David.

David - Awwww... (sighs)...

RW - It's not a... a song I'm proud of... which is why it was never
released on an album. It came out, I think, on a compilation album...

David - (sighs)... ohhh, OK.

KH - Alright - thanks for your call, David. And we might slip into a
little more Radio KAOS - sound good to you, Roger?

RW - Why not.

KH - Alright, let's get into... umm the track that has been on radio
stations, right across the country... *The Tide Is Turning*...


(The Tide Is Turning is played)...


KH - Roger Waters, from Radio KAOS - and he's on *your* radio
station tonight, on Rocksat, live via satellite, across Australia,
and across the world, to London's BBC Woodlands studios,
where Roger is sitting, at this very moment. Aren't you, Roger!

RW - I am, sir!

KH - Alright... shortly we're going to draw the...

RW - And I'm sitting up *straight*, as well, Kevin!...

KH - That's good...

RW - and I'm paying *attention*.

KH - I'm pleased to see your posture has improved... shortly we're
going to draw the winner of the... the "Rocksat Rock*sack*",
from Brashs, but first up we're gonna hit the phones again,
and we've got Donna, listening to err, 2PK, in Parkes... hi Donna!

Donna - Hi!

KH - You are going _live_ to London, now, to talk to Roger...

Donna - Oh, that's great.

KH - Go for it!

Donna - Err, _Roger_? Do you mix socially with other... (clears throat)
musish... *musicians*?

RW - Err, yeah! S... some, I do... yeah.

Donna - Whhhat... what, who like... could I ask who like?

KH - (laughs)

RW - (mild amusement) You don't want me to name _names_, do you, Donna?

Donna - n.. n.. ...not any particular name... like any *band*, or...?

RW - Err, no - no, not really... just... just people who I have met
socially... really... through... err... through other things...

KH - Well before the program sta...

RW - ... W...w... we spoke earlier about... umm - Kevin and I
spoke earlier about Mike Rutherford, because we have a connection err
via... Paul Carrack, who's done work for both of us...

Donna - Right, just general people...

RW - and I see him and his wife Angie from time to time.

Donna - Right - just general people that you meet in... in the circuit?

RW - *Yeah*... yeah - I don't... I don't kind of go and hang out at other
people's houses, or in... in studios, or... or..., umm, it's...
it's not... I don't lead that kind of life.

KH - Do you have musicians hanging out in *your* studio, though,
'cos you have a full studio setup at home...?

Donna - Ummmhhhh... (he he)

RW - Welll, uhh...

KH - N... n... not you, Donna - I meant Roger...

RW - (amused, and KH laughing in the background) Well, it's *possible*,
Kevin, that Donna has a studio setup at home as well - I mean let's
not jump to hasty conclusions - but it's... I can only speak for my
*own*... and no, I don't have musicians hang out -
when they come to my studio, they fffff-bleep-bleep-*work*... and
uhh.. uhh...

KH - (laughter)

RW - (with some amusement) and they work bloody _hard_, as
well - from the moment they arrive, until the moment we knock off...

KH - (still laughing)... alright...

RW - We do very little "hanging out".

RW - OK, thanks for your call, Donna.

Donna - OK- thank you.

KH - ... and John, listening to FOX-FM in Melbourne has a question for you too, Roger. Hi John!

John - Hi... hi Roger!

RW - Hi John!

John - How are you?

RW - Um, I'm _alright_, thanks...

John - Good - I'd like to ask you, um, which town in England you originate
from, and also, if that place has had any influence on your music?

RW - Umm, well I was *born* in Great Bookham, in Surrey, which is err
near a town called Dorking, about twenty miles south of London...

John - yeah...

RW - ... and err so, for the first umm eighteen months of my
life, we were being overflown by err Doodlebugs, err-umm which
I don't really remember, and then we moved to Cambridge, which is where
I was brought up, and I... I do remember moving to Cambridge,
which is when I was... two, and I remember...
I remember... uh... VJ night...

John - yeah...

RW - a big bonfire, and being held up to the window, and people with
flags... and dancing, and flickering light...

John - Yeah...

KH - Did it have any effect on... on you *musically*- that upbringing?

RW - Yeah - growing up in Cambridge certainly did, because it was a
bit... a University town, and there were lots of err... trad-jazz
bands, when I was sort of eleven... twelve... thirteen... fourteen...
growing up in the beginnings of umm... of err... rock 'n roll
starting, via skiffle bands, and things like that, but _mainly_
it was trad-jazz, and I... I... I used to go to umm dances
in the Corn Exchange, and I'd... I'd stand there at the back, and
err look at... y'know the guy playing the trumpet on the stage, and
think "Jesus, that looks good fun"...

KH - (laughs in background)

RW - ..."I'd like to be him. I... I wou... I want to be that person."
And so I'm... maybe that err was... uhh... something that was very likely to
happen in... in err Cambridge, and not so likely to happen in Warrington,
or Middlesborough, or somewhere...up north.

John - Yes, right...

KH - John, thanks a lot for your call.

John - Thank you.

KH - And, ahh... excuse me, Roger - I just have to dig into our
little barrel here, our Rocksat barrel, and actually draw out a
winner for our Rocksat *Rocksack* from Brashs, which is worth
fifteen hundred dollars...

RW - (indecipherable, but in a friendly tone of voice)

KH - Yes?

RW - My time is your time...

KH - Ohhh... I... I... I...jusw...w...w...

RW - Sorry to interrupt... you carry on... you go ahead!

KH - I just want to dig in here, and grab this thing out... and see
who we got... uhh - we actually have *Grant Beale*, or
*GrAnt Beale*, who lives in... (indecipherable)

RW - It's not likely to be...

KH - ... No, it wasn't you, unfortunately, Roger... I'm
sorry about that!...uhh...

RW - ... No, I'm saying his name is not likely to be _Grunt_, is it?

KH - (laughs)... So, Grant has got that ahh... that
Rocksat Rocksack, and what we'll do is try and phone him during
this break, and have a talk to him after that, here on Rocksat,
live via satellite, across Australia.


(advertisement break)


Grant talks to KH on the phone...

......

[later]


KH - *Roger* is sitting in the BBC err... Woodlands studios in London...
Roger, what's... uhh... what's coming up for you now? I mean,
you are in the middle of recording the album, and we do thank you
for.. popping in tonight and... err taking time out from recording the
album. How far along the track are you with it?

RW - I'm just about to start mixing. He can't have been listening
tonight, can he, or he'd have known he'd won - if you see what I mean...

KH - (laughs)...

RW - ...Anyway, that's neither here nor there! Umm... I'm...
yeah - I'm just about to start mixing, Kevin.

KH - Ahhh... now when are we likely to see this album?

RW - (draws in breath) I should think... err in September.

KH - Right... have have.. g... have you got any titles for the
album ... have you sort of worked all that stuff out yet... you can
tell us about?

RW - Yeap-yeah-yeah - I've got... I've got all that worked out,
but... umm... I'm...

KH - ...But you're not going to tell us?...

RW - ...anonymous...

KH - (laughs)

RW - ...*Nope* - no I'm not, but I - I am going to at this point,
because we're running out of time now, say hello to Jo-Jo and
Pauline, and Susie, and Janet, and Bronwyn.

KH - These are friends that you met on the... ahh... on the tour...

RW - ...These're...

KH - when you were here, in '73?

RW - N... N-no - these... these are old friends that I've met at...
at other points in my life, which... and I won't go into it,
but they know who they are.

KH - Right, now after you... after the album comes out, umm...
are we... are we likely to see you err... touring around the world, and
maybe coming down to Australia?

************** THE END **************

(Ed: Roger Waters actually last toured Australia, as a member of Pink Floyd,
on March 17-18, 1972, according to the 1980 edition of the Miles Visual
Documentary book.)

Also (this information kindly supplied to me by Ry Jones)
Roger incorrectly states that KAOS is a radio station in Oregon.
KAOS is actually assigned to a radio station in Olympia, Washington.
It is run by students of the Evergreen State College.
Matt Groening (The Simpsons, Life In Hell) and Kurt Cobain (Nirvana)
both attended the very liberal arts school.

CHARLES HUMPHREYS (Adelaide, South Australia)
January, 1996.
