jazzfishwhile neither david gilmour nor roger waters has any business performing songs from _the wall_ live, i find david gilmour's performances more tolerable, because 1) he can sing and 2) he can play the guitar.
vaguely related note: are there actually no politically active rock bands anymore? you couldn't throw a rock without hitting five of them in the sixties and seventies, and even in the eighties you had U2 (and a couple others, I think... there's always David Gilmour's song "Cruise" about the Reagan deployment of cruise missiles in England)... is that it? is the singing activist a dying breed? this ain't necessarily a bad thing, just an odd one.
massage class last night... quite good. it's weird being the youngest and most conservative person in a room, but hey. (it's also weird having the second-longest hair in a room, but i'm used to that, after work.)
