sometimes I start thinking the psychological torture over performing that led to the Spit of '77 was just a roger problem but then I remember that one time a live chicken wandered on stage at an alice cooper concert and when they threw the chicken to the audience (mistakenly believing chickens could fly) the crowd enthusiastically tore it to pieces with their bare hands so actually yah maybe roger had a point

#not enough discussion of the theme of audience complicity in violence in the wall #thinking about how you can hear the crowd chanting 'pink floyd!' at the beginning of run like hell #and by the end half of them are chanting 'hammer!'. and by the end of waiting for the worms ALL of them are chanting 'hammer!'#which you could see from the perspective of pink's deteriorating perceptions of reality #but it also represents the willingness of the audience to go along with all of the awful things he is saying #how -easy- it is to get a crowd to turn #uhhhh #cw gore #(????)#pink floyd #roger waters
