Hey you White House, hahaaaa, charade you are!

Holy shit, that is a deep cut.

Fun fact, that line was apparently about a specific person, Mary Whitehouse. I don't know what she did to piss off Pink Floyd but they were talking directly about her.

Apparently she was a bus stop rat bag who radiated cold shards of broken glass.

No no. She was a house-proud town mouse. The bus stop rat bag was someone else, I thought.

Pfft, I dunno now. Been listening to it for a long time. Kinda like when I thought The Wall was about the Berlin Wall. When I was young, I shone like the sun.

I just looked it up, it's definitely three different pigs. The bus stop rat bag is one, and Whitehouse is a different one. She's the only one that's identified by name.

Here's the third:

If you want a song about the Berlin Wall, this one is pretty good. It's kind of corny but it's just the truth. John Kay snuck across the wall with his family when he was a little child, made it to America, and started a rock and roll band. This was his song about watching the wall come down on TV as an adult:

I had no idea about John Kay, the band was one of my faves, their 2 hits haha. I named my son Stephen, partly after the band and partly after the book Steppenwolf by Hermann Hesse.

I read the Animals album wasn't created as a concept album, it's a bit disjointed in that way. Just a compilation of musical ideas put together over time, Waters arranged into a theme.

MAGA is a despicable bunch of crap here in America now the world gets to see what we have been dealing with.

[–] imrighthere 29 points 5 days ago (2 children)

You aren't dealing with it, that's the problem.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 days ago

Fucking shots fired!

Surprising since we're the ones with the fascism-fighting boomstick laws

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 days ago (2 children)

We can’t deal with it when the majority of us are garbage.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Hey, you're not alone in this. Germany is also heading the same way, when AFD gets to win in future elections.

It's not an if anymore, but when...

Then, the majority around here also will be pretty much garbage.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago

But the thing is, the AfD can't win that easily. It's bad they became this big, but they can't take over the country that easily. The German political system is well made to prevent another Hitler to take power as easily as Hitler did. The majority of Germany doesn't like the AfD, only former east Germany voted for them. So yeah, they became bigger then comfortable, but they won't be able to take power as the majority of the government doesn't want to work with them.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 days ago

It's not a majority. It's not even a third. However you can blame the majority for their inaction.

No one but sHitler himself would make Canada our enemy…. It’s fucking Canada!!! We love them!!🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

in order to protect the best friend that each of those two countries has ever had!”

With a friend like Trump's America, who needs enemies?

For those who are 5, hatred and mistrust means lower sales to those who hate you. Military and oil sales control too, require close relationships. Otherwise can arm enemies and buy their oil instead.
