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

i've gotten the impression he's an asshole, but who knows, i never met him.

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.

the image of a person randomly slapping themselves in bed is amusing.

Well, it's gonna happen, probably.

I think Roger was both.

Could it be "Fool On The Hill?"

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.

Throw in another vote for both.

He is a genius, not doubt about that.

He is also an arrogant asshole.

Love his music though.

Regarding the Beatles tune, also try 'Dear Prudence'.

I just thought of that, and I wasen't it bed. Nor did I slap myself.

i believe it is, ... yes they say "the fool on the hill see's the sun going down, and the eyes in his head see the spinning round , and round and round and round and round..."

a very excelent song written by... imo a more genious person then roger... Paul McCartney

... oh yes, and i think he is genious, more then genious, one of my heroes and idols... and he may of seemed an asshole because he was incharge,.. but theres a reason why he was in charge... in my own opinion of course...

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.

"genious"?

i think u know all this becuase ... "in the flesh?"... you are a true genious. a regular einstien... but in the sence of what ever it is u do...
