ROGER WATERS - Amused To Death: What if 2001 A Space Odyssey were an album?

from Classic Rock And Prog Almanac · host Tim, Shaun and Peter

This week Tim had a conversation with himself about Roger Waters’ third studio album, Amused To Death. Topics covered include: whether this is Waters’ best solo album, the subterranean structure of the album, the difference between George Orwell and Aldous Huxley, whether the album is written like a musical, and the debt the album owes to Pink Floyd. Also, how does Roger Waters echo the 19th Century German philosopher Feuerbach? Is TV a good thing or a bad thing? Is Jeff Beck doing Dave Gilmour doing Jeff Beck? Can Dark Side Of The Moon really be played in sync with The Wizard Of Oz? Why is Andrew Lloyd-Weber so bad? And what exactly is basketball?
