Wow! I am a Pink Floyd fan... i did not know Roger Waters owned a Pagoda.

Do you think it is really his?

This is an unusual car.  It’s obviously been “restored”. The removal of the bumper guards, the mismatched dash to seat color, the rectangular shifter boot and unusual manner in which the seat channels are joined so far back all leave me unimpressed.  Someone commented that Waters was an antisemite.  I was never aware of that and don’t know what that is based on?!  I wonder if this kind of provenance trumps any of these negatives?

I have had a beer with Rodger Waters and knowing his background I am surprised that some think he is antisemite.
I never knew he owned a Pagoda.

I liek the music, say, from Atom Heart Mother onwards. Not particularly his solo albums. Never got to the point to study biographies. I am also surprised about this "antisemite" attitude, it would be sad. Hope it is not true.

Alsi never heard he owned a Pagoda...

He is not anti-Semitic, but is critical of the Israeli government’s policy on Palestine.
Pawel, maybe try ‘Radio Waves’!

Hi Pawel, yes that’s it.
It sounds dated now but I still like it - good musicians and production. And interesting as a ‘concept album’.

I have had a beer with Rodger Waters

I initially read that as ‘I haven’t had a beer..’, thought you were joking

How did that come about?

He always invites a number of veterans to each of his concerts as a thankyou to the military. His father, as a British soldier, became a MIA in WW2
I was invited to go and meet him and watch his concert, The Wall, when it was here in Australia and at half time was taken back stage and to have a beer and a chat.  My wife Kate and I had a great night.

That is so cool Garry.
I saw The Wall concert in Chicago!!
I did not have a beer with Roger thou.
I've had a beer with you, and you have had a beer with Roger ......
Does that mean, by the transitive property, that I have had a beer with Roger?? ;D
(I guess I should mention that I too hope that he is not antiemetic.)
Take care,

I am a fan of Roger Waters. Ever since Pink Floyd and even more so after his fallout with David Gilmour, who was being a putz.
And when Roger did an interview in the magazine "For men Only" when he called Madonna "fat", I just loved that.
I still have his first solo album "Amused To Death". Some great cuts on there
