I have become comfortably numb

I had the pleasure of seeing Roger Waters at the San Diego Sports Arena last weekend. I hadn't seen any of the Pink Floyd crew since seeing David Gilmour and the boys at Earl's Court in London in the mid-90's.

Suffice it to say, Roger Waters is still against American fascism and imperialism, even under the Obama Hope & Change brand. A great show, all in all.



There is no pain, you are receding

A distant ship smoke on the horizon

You are only coming through in waves

Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying

When I was a child I had a fever

My hands felt just like two balloons

Now I've got that feeling once again

I can't explain, you would not understand

This is not how I am

I have become comfortably numb UPDATE: Simon Black at Sovereign Man went to the LA show and has a longer, better-written post on the same subject.
