I'm very interested in this revelation . Was it a dream?
A vision? Did an angel appear to him? Or a demon? Did he
hear the voice of God Almighty? Or Elvis?
Please post a detailed account of this, cheriberi.
I'm most intrigued...

I think she meant more like an epiphany.

Addiction, in the medical sense, is by definition a problem. So my answer is that you said he had a problem, yourself. If that's not what you meant, my fallback position is that I also noted it was a wiseass answer I gave.----Gilmour wrote the music for "Comfortably Numb", and there is some controversy over precisely what Waters' contribution was. . You don't have anything to offer other than your personal inferences, so far. Do you have anything to back that up?By the way... This really isn't a new argument. Try a search of the site.
There's no question about it!Its The person 2 person thinking,Well You cant do anything about this " ROGER's BEING ADDICT!!& Dave's Music & The Movie Vs. Audio thingy;Cause Its All ON THE DARK SIDE OF THE MOON !!. Cant You See,it all makes perfect sense , expressed in "____ !!?*" .(?*=Fill in your Option)

I think most of you wont ,cause she died on TV.And Did We Do Anything............
Will you discreetly withdraw with your eyes pressed on the TV screen's glore ;just a passive spectator of MARKET DICTATORS?When the COwboys and Arabs draw down on each other at noon in the cool duty air of cityboardroom ,What do U care,You just play the game with da bravery of being out of range.?Answer me and then speak my name,.Oh,lost for words, are we?

Re: Heroin and Comfortably Numb
It's about drugs, it's gotta be, I mean what else would "comfortably numb" apply to. But it's still a great song.

Re: Heroin and Comfortably Numb
oh man when I read the title of this thread I thought it meant some kind of comparison to The Velvet Undergrounds Heroin and 'comfortably numb', frankily I love both those songs. I think ROger was into tranquilizers or something, right?
