Yesterday I was at Roger's The Wall show at San Jose
Before I've seen The Wall movie only and did not see any other video recording
When he performs Run Like Hell, the illustrations are pictures as they would be drawn for the Animals Album with titles "iServe" and other iSomething
why isomethig? is it a parody on Apple?

What do you think?

Yeah, nothing is done accidently or by coincidence.

so, what's the meaning of that. What did he want to say?
Did he used Apple as just yet another capitalistic company as he used Mercedes and Shell in another song or what?

I'd hate to repeat myself, but what do you think? It's not that hard to figure out. BTW, you answered your question in the 2nd sentence. See? Not that hard.

My dear Lady
I know what I think
I want to know what you and other people think

One, don't call me that. Two, your questions were answered. You asked if there was significance behind his parodying of Apple, we said yes. You asked if it had anything to do with the way he used companies like Shell and Mercedes in other songs, we said yes. Therefore, you draw the correlation that he was parodying Apple in the much the same manner he parodied other well known companies. Apple is everywhere. It's not hard to take shots at its ubiquitous nature.

Please!
I know we're pestered by spam bots here but I don't think this is one, so don't be unkind.

To andrei: I haven't seen The Wall yet, have to wait until May. But I suppose you're right, Roger doesn't like any company that's commersially successful. It'
s part of his hypocricy I'm afraid.

It's not that he doesn't like successful companies, he's just an anti-capitalist! And he has so many reasons to be one.

It was not my intention to be unkind, rather I was pointing out that he answered his own question about Roger's parodying of Apple and Apple products during his show. Also, I was saying that you could draw the inference that he was parodying Apple in much the same way he went after other highly well-known companies during other songs in the show.

As Joe pointed out above, Roger has always been anti-capitalism, I mean read the lyrics to the whole Animals album if you want a great example of that.
