Kuthandiza kuchititsa webinar ndi Roger Waters kudzanditengera izi pamlingo wina watsopano. Sizinali zaka zapitazo koma zaka zambiri zapitazo pamene ndinayamba kukokera chimbale chakuda cha vinyl kuchokera pachivundikiro chakuda cha album chosonyeza kuwala, prism ndi utawaleza, ndipo ndinamva mawu ofewa ndi achisoni akuimba mawu awa:
Forward analira kuchokera kumbuyo, ndipo gulu lakutsogolo linafa
Akazembe anakhala, ndi mizere pa mapu
Kusuntha uku ndi uku
Chimbale cha Pink Floyd cha 1973 "Dark Side of the Moon" ndi ulendo wanyimbo wopita m'malingaliro achinsinsi omwe ali ndimavuto, ulendo wokhudzana ndi kudzipatula komanso misala. Chimbalecho chimayamba ndi chiitano chofuna kupuma, monga momwe phokoso lozungulira likuwonetsera misala ya dziko lotanganidwa komanso losasamala. Mawu ndi kugunda kwamtima ndi mapazi amazimiririka mkati ndi kunja - ma eyapoti, mawotchi - koma zozama za nyimbo zimakoka omvera m'mbuyomu phokoso ndi chipwirikiti, ndipo theka loyamba la mbiriyo limatha ndi kupumula kwa dziko lina, mawu a angelo akulira mkati. chifundo cha harmonic pa nyimbo yotchedwa "The Great Gig in the Sky".
Kumbali yachiwiri ya chimbalecho, tikubwerera ku zovuta za dziko laukali. Ndalama za "Ndalama" zikuphatikizana mu nyimbo yolimbana ndi nkhondo "Ife ndi Iwo" pomwe akuluakulu ankhondo amakhala ndikusuntha mizere pamapu uku ndi uku. Pali kupsinjika kwakukulu kotero kuti kutsika mu misala kumakhala kosapeŵeka - komabe "Kuwonongeka kwa Ubongo" kumadutsa nyimbo yomaliza ya "Eclipse" timayamba kuzindikira kuti mawu omwe akutiyimbira siamisala nkomwe. Ndi dziko limene lapita ku misala, ndipo nyimbozi zimatipempha kuti tipeze nzelu zathu mwa kupita mkati, mwa kukhulupilila nzelu zathu ndi kunyalanyaza kuletsa kwa gulu la anthu, mwa kuvomeleza kulekanitsidwa kwathu ndi anthu amene sitikudziŵa kupulumutsa; ndi kuthaŵira ku kukongola kwa luso ndi nyimbo ndi moyo waumwini, woona.
Chimbale chodabwitsa cha "The Dark Side of the Moon" chimatchulidwa kuti Roger Waters ngati katswiri waluso kwambiri ngati wolemba nyimbo komanso woyimba, ikuwoneka ngati yamisala koma kuyang'anitsitsa ndikukhudzana ndi misala yakunja, komanso za zipolopolo zolimba zakupatukana. ndi chisoni chimene ena aife tingafunikire kudzizinga kuti tipewe kutengeka ndi chikhumbo chofuna kutsatira. Sizinangochitika kuti chimbalecho chimafotokozera Henry David Thoreau, mawu amodzi otsutsana ndi nthawi ina ndi dziko lina: "Kudikirira mwamtendere ndi njira ya Chingerezi".
Albumyi inali yofunika kwa ine ndili mwana pozindikira nyimbo, ndipo ndikupezabe tanthauzo latsopano mmenemo. Ndazindikira kuti si nyimbo yokhayo "Ife ndi Iwo" koma chimbale chonse chomwe chikuwonetsa kusamvana kwakukulu ndi anthu wamba omwe pamapeto pake amakakamiza aliyense woyambitsa ndale kuti asankhe malo oti ayimepo, kulimbana ndi kupsyinjika kosatha kwa kugonjetsedwa kwachisoni, kudzipereka kwathunthu ku zifukwa zomwe sizimalola kusankha njira. Sindinakhale wochirikiza ndale pamene ndinakhala wokonda Pinki Floyd ndili wachinyamata. Koma ndikuzindikira lero momwe nyimbo za Roger Waters zidandithandizira kupanga njira yanga yapang'onopang'ono kudzera mukusintha kwachilendo komanso kosiyana - ndipo si nyimbo zandale ngati "Ife ndi Iwo" zomwe zidandithandiza kupeza njira iyi.
Mizu yapansi panthaka ya gulu loyamba la Roger Waters imabwerera kumbuyo kuposa momwe ambiri amaganizira. Pinki Floyd akanakhala wotchuka kwambiri m'zaka za m'ma 1970 ndi 1980, komabe gululi linayamba kusewera masewera ku England mu 1965 ndipo zinali zochititsa chidwi kumayambiriro kwa zaka za m'ma 1960 akugwedezeka ku London, komwe ankakonda kwambiri gulu la anthu omwe ankamvetsera ndakatulo za Beat. ndipo anali pafupi ndi malo ogulitsa mabuku a Indica, komwe John Lennon ndi Yoko Ono amakumana. Ichi chinali chikhalidwe cha 1960s Pinki Floyd adatulukamo.
Monga amodzi mwa magulu oyamba komanso oyeserera anthawi ya rock, Pink Floyd woyambilira adagwira zochitika ku London pazaka zosangalatsa zomwe Grateful Dead adapanga zochitika ndi Ken Kesey ku San Francisco, ndi Velvet. Mumzinda wa New York anthu anali osangalala kwambiri ndi Andy Warhol's Exploding Plastic Inevitable. Palibe gulu limodzi mwa magulu ankhondowa lomwe linali landale, koma sizimayenera kutero, chifukwa madera omwe amawapangira nyimbo anali okhudzidwa kwambiri ndi nkhondo komanso kupita patsogolo kwa nthawiyo. Achinyamata ku England konse m'zaka za m'ma 1960 anali kugwira ntchito molimbika ndikufuula mokweza za zida za nyukiliya ndi anti-colonialism, ndipo achinyamata awo ku USA anali kuphunzira kuchokera ku gulu lotsutsa ufulu wachibadwidwe lomwe linali lotsogozedwa ndi Martin Luther King ndipo tsopano. Nyumbayi, komanso motsogozedwa ndi Martin Luther King, gulu latsopano lodziwika bwino lolimbana ndi nkhondo yachisembwere ku Vietnam. Munali m’masiku ovuta kwambiri a m’ma 1960, pamene mbewu zambiri za zionetsero zazikulu zomwe zikadalipo lero zinabzalidwa koyamba.
Monga Grateful Dead oyambirira ndi Velvet Underground, Pink Floyd waku London yemwe adasinthiratu adayika malo owoneka bwino omwe amayang'ana mozama, ndikulemba nyimbo zomwe zimawoneka kuti zimafuna gawo lamalingaliro pakati pa kudzuka ndi kugona. Roger Waters adatenga utsogoleri wa gululi kutsatira zachisoni za Syd Barrett kukhala misala, ndipo "Dark Side of the Moon" adakweza Waters ndi omwe amaimba nawo David Gilmour, Richard Wright ndi Nick Mason kuti apambane padziko lonse lapansi, ngakhale membala aliyense wagululo. ankaoneka kuti analibe chidwi kwambiri ndi chikhalidwe cha anthu otchuka komanso otchuka. Madzi adasintha gulu lake munyengo ya punk-rock mu 1977 ndi "Nyama" zaukali komanso za Orwellian, zotsatiridwa ndi "The Wall", nyimbo yanyimbo yazamaganizo yomwe kupambana kwake ndi kutchuka kwake kungafanane ndi "Mdima Wamdima wa Mwezi".
Kodi wolemba nyimbo za rock alipo adaululapo moyo wake wolakwika monga momwe Roger Waters amachitira mu "The Wall"? Ndi za munthu wina wanyimbo wa rock yemwe amakhala wolemera, wowonongeka komanso woledzeretsa, akutuluka ngati mtsogoleri weniweni wa chifasisti, akusokoneza mafani ake pabwalo la konsati ndi chipongwe chamtundu komanso jenda. Ichi chinali chojambula chodabwitsa cha Roger Waters, chifukwa (monga momwe adafotokozera ofunsa ochepa omwe angalankhule nawo) adadza kunyoza rock star persona ndi mphamvu zomwe zidamupatsa. Choipa kwambiri n’chakuti, kutchuka kumene iye ankafuna kupeŵa kunam’lekanitsa kotheratu ndi anthu amene anabwera kumakonsati ake ndi kusangalala ndi chilengedwe chake. Pinki Floyd sakanatha kukhalitsa nthawi yayitali ndikudziwonetsera yekha, ndipo chimbale chachikulu chomaliza cha gululi mu 1983 chinali ntchito yokhayo ya Roger Waters, "The Final Cut". Chimbale ichi chinali mawu odana ndi nkhondo kuyambira koyambirira mpaka kumapeto, kulira motsutsana ndi nkhondo yopusa komanso yankhanza ya Great Britain mu 1982 yolimbana ndi Argentina pa Malvinas, kuyitanitsa Margaret Thatcher ndi Menachem Begin ndi Leonid Brezhnev ndi Ronald Reagan dzina lake.
Zandale zodziwika bwino za Waters pang'onopang'ono zidayamba kufotokozera ntchito zake zonse, kuphatikiza ma Albums ake payekha komanso opera yokhudza Revolution ya France yomwe adalemba mu 2005, "Ça Ira". Kumayambiriro kwa chaka cha 2021, ndinachita nawo msonkhano waung’ono m’makhoti a mumzinda wa New York wokhudza loya wolimba mtima. Steven Donziger, amene walangidwa mopanda chilungamo chifukwa choulula zigawenga za Chevron ku Ecuador. Panalibe khamu lalikulu pamsonkhanowu, koma ndinali wokondwa kuwona Roger Waters atayimirira pambali pa mnzake ndi mnzake ndikutenga maikolofoni mwachidule kunena mawu ochepa okhudza mlandu wa Donziger, pamodzi ndi Susan Sarandon ndi Marianne Williamson yemwenso anali wolimba mtima. .
Steven Donziger pamapeto pake adakhala masiku odabwitsa 993 m'ndende chifukwa cholimba mtima kuyankhula mwaufulu podzudzula bungwe lamphamvu ngati Chevron. Sindikudziwa ngati Roger Waters adakhalapo m'ndende chifukwa chazochita zake, koma adalangidwa pamaso pa anthu. Ndikatchula dzina lake kwa anzanga ena, ngakhale anzanga odziwa bwino nyimbo omwe amamvetsa bwino za luso lake, ndimamva zonyoza ngati "Roger Waters ndi anti-semitic" - canard yathunthu yopangidwa kuti imuwononge ndi mphamvu zofanana. asilikali omwe adakoka zingwe kuti Chevron atseke Steven Donziger m'ndende. Zoonadi Roger Waters sali anti-Semitic, ngakhale kuti wakhala wolimba mtima kuti alankhule mokweza kwa anthu a Palestina omwe akuvutika pansi pa tsankho la Israeli - monga momwe tonsefe tiyenera kuchitira ngati tili okonzeka kukumana ndi zenizeni, chifukwa tsankho ili ndi chisalungamo choopsa chomwe chiyenera kutha. .
Sindikudziwa zomwe Roger Waters azikamba mu webinar yathu pa Ogasiti 8, ngakhale ndamuwona ali mu konsati nthawi zambiri ndipo ndili ndi lingaliro labwino la mtundu wanji wa konsati ya kickass yomwe adzayimba pa Ogasiti 13 ku New York. Mzinda. Chilimwe cha 2022 ndi nthawi yotentha komanso yovuta ku United States of America. Boma lathu likuwoneka lopanda chinyengo komanso lachinyengo kuposa kale, pamene tikuyenda ndikulowa m'nkhondo zomwe zimalimbikitsidwa ndi phindu lamakampani komanso chizolowezi chamafuta. Nzika zamantha komanso zachisoni za boma losweka ili lidzilimbitsa ndi zida zankhondo, ndikuchulukitsa magulu ankhondo, pomwe apolisi athu amadzisintha kukhala magulu ankhondo omwe amayang'ana zida kwa anthu awo, pomwe Khothi Lalikulu lathu lomwe labedwa likuyambitsa zoopsa zatsopano: kuphwanya malamulo kwa boma. mimba ndi kusankha chithandizo chamankhwala. Chiwerengero cha imfa ku Ukraine chikuposa anthu a 100 patsiku, pamene ndikulemba izi, ndipo opereka ndalama ndi opindula omwewo omwe adakankhira nkhondo yowopsyayi akuwoneka kuti akuyesera kuyambitsa tsoka latsopano laumunthu ku Taiwan kuti apindule ndi chuma ku China. . Akuluakulu ankhondo akukhalabe, akusuntha mizere pamapu uku ndi uku.
