Roger Waters promotes 9/11 conspiracy theories...

I can tell you exactly when I bought Ummagumma. It was Friday 31 Aug 1973, between 12:30 and 14:00. "...Oh yes, after lunch, I popped into a record shop in Carnaby Street and bought Ummagumma by Pink Floyd. It sounds a bit dated on first hearing but it's probably the kind of L.P. you have to play a few times before getting into...'

Then on Monday, 3 Sept 1973, evening, "...Then for the rest of the evening I got into Ummagumma. There is some really heavy classical piano stuff in it. I can see now why it sold so well. It's brilliant...."

So the music is fine. I bought Relics at some point, which I adored plus Syd Barrett's Opel and Madcap Laughs. I recall I once had a scruffy secondhand LP of Dark Side of the Moon, which I don't recall playing much at all and soon got rid.

It's not that the music was bad or anything. Elsewhere, I have a few lines of Granchester Meadows jotted down...a song by...Roger Waters.

I understand. All that pop, commercial stuff just doesn't resonate with a genuine avantgarde afficionado. After Barrett's The Gnome the rest of Floyd's catalog is mere pap for the masses.

This isn't the great act of defiance you think it is. Posters can easily see how you hamfistedly tried to manipulate the words of @MarkCorrigan to make it seem like he was wrong and you were right (substituting "traits" for "disorders"). You refusing to acknowledge this silly attempt at deception makes you look juvenile and childish, not defiant.

Yes, you are absolutely right. Sociopaths are mentally ill. ¹

I believe Waters said it was October his NY 9/11 friend's case goes to a Supreme Court on the grounds a British subject should legally have an inquest in the UK. In a way, I hope this succeeds, to put to rest all the questions surrounding 9/11.

Which are?

And what would those questions be, exactly?

Oh, and if you're in Cambridge on 9, October...

So was Ummagumma "brilliant" or a commercial pop cash grab?
 
As an aside, did anyone else see the theatrical IMAX release of the restored and remastered Pink Floyd Live at Pompeii when it cam out?
