| roger waters - total arse or genius ? I just finished reading the Pink Floyd biography-- a saucerful of secrets. It was pretty good--- but it certainly gave the sense that roger waters was... quite the pain in the arse. Not that I have less respect for the songs that he wrote, but i just wanted to know what you all thought, or if you had read the book or not. Also, anyone know of a Beatle's song that ends with the words: round and round and round... then fades out (like most beatles songs... thanks!) -baguh, b'dah -Steve  |

| Re: roger waters - total arse or genius ? I think Waters was both, IMO. A lot of geniuses can act like that. BTW, I cannot think of the Beatles song you mention, but I know that I will probably remember it while lying in bed, and then slap myself. |

| Re: roger waters - total arse or genius ? the image of a person randomly slapping themselves in bed is amusing. |

| Re: roger waters - total arse or genius ? Roger is my idol... AND an asshole. There's not doubt in my mind he is one arrogant old fart... but can ya blame him? He's Roger Waters... I only hope to be like him some day. Start a band... take over after the leader gets terribly ill... make some memorable albums... get voted out... hate all my friends. Make new ones that like me because I have money and music... ahhh... the man is living a dream.

| Re: roger waters - total arse or genius ? Throw in another vote for both. He is a genius, not doubt about that. He is also an arrogant asshole. Love his music though.

| Re: roger waters - total arse or genius ? When you're that talented, you are allowed to act like an asshole. You're also allowed to be a bit paranoid and neurotic because, knowing that you're talented, you automatically think that other people are out to get you. How do I know all this? I'm paranoid and I'm also narcississtic.
