I am proud that one of my favorite artists of all time, Roger, has the strength and courage to challenge his audience like this.

Here on this board we are seeing what is playing out around the world.

A vocal minority is claiming to be 'right' or 'correct' when claiming that Roger has somehow spat on the graves of 9/11 victims or kicked sand in the faces of American troops when criticizing President Bush during his concert. Just writing that makes it seem so silly. Roger is not testifying at the U.N. or in front of Congress. He's playing shows.

Anyhoo, this is the minority view not only around the world, but here in America, too. Which doesn't mean it shouldn't be heard, but those of us in opposition to war in general and this war in particular can gain some strength in knowing that friends around the world understand what we are going through here in the states.

For those who continue to bash Roger there obviously cannot be any satisfactory ending to this. He won't change his show or his political views. He won't inject 9/11 imagery into his presentation. You can't be satisfied so you'll just continue to moan about it.


As stated above, it is George Bush who dispariages the memory of the victims of tragedy each time he invokes 9/11 to justify torture and war. He is leaving a big mess for all of us who have to exist in this world long after he's retired to his home state of Connecticut. Or his adopted home state of Maine. Or his other adopted state, Texas. He's slippery, that Bush.
