Roger Waters (Pink Floyd) rips tRump

So there was a truck-sized inflatable pig floating above the crowd during the song "Pigs," with a map of the U.S. painted on one side with the words: "Together we stand, divided we fall." On the other side was the face of Donald Trump and the words "ignorant," "lying," "racist," "sexist" and "Fuck Trump and his wall."

Roger Waters, the Who Get Political, Rowdy at Desert Trip Night 3

I can't recall, in my 59 (almost 60) years in this life seeing any better concerts than the ones here in Indio, CA this weekend.

Roger getting political was more icing on the cake.
A fantastic sound system and stage were bliss for us these nights in the warm desert wind as all the artists gave it their all.

I'm floored.

At Trump rallies, often the crowds become violent; people are singled out by Trump to be violently ejected - not by event security, but by angry, violent supporters.

It has always reminded me of the scene from Pink Floyd's "The Wall" (how ironic!)
