Iyo albhamu inotanga nekukokwa kwekufema, sezvo kurira kunotenderera kunoratidza kupenga kwenyika yakabatikana uye isina hanya. Manzwi uye kurova kwemoyo netsoka zvinopera mukati nekubuda - nhandare dzendege, wachi - asi kudzika kwemumhanzi kunokwevera muteereri munguva yakapfuura ruzha nemhirizhonga, uye hafu yekutanga yerekodhi inopera nekuzorora kweimwe nyika, manzwi engirozi achichema mukati. Harmonic tsitsi pane track inonzi "The Great Gig in the Sky".

Ndiyo nyika yave kupenga, uye nziyo idzi dzinotikoka kuti tiwane pfungwa dzedu nekupinda mukati, nekuvimba nemafungiro edu uye kufuratira kurambidzwa kwemhomho, nekugamuchira kuparadzaniswa kwedu nenzanga yatisingazivi kuti tingaiponesa sei. uye vachivanda murunako rwounyanzvi nenziyo nokurarama uri woga, chokwadi.
Inowanzo kutaurwa seyakakwana kwazvo yaRoger Waters semunyori wenziyo uye muimbi, iro dambarefu rinoshamisa "Rima Side reMwedzi" rinoita kunge ndereupengo asi pakatarisana nezvehupengo hwekunze kwenyika, uye nezve magomba akaoma ekuparadzaniswa. uye kushungurudzika izvo vamwe vedu vangangoda kuzvikomberedza kuti tidzivise kukundwa nechishuwo chekuenderana. Haisi tsaona kuti iyo album inodimikira Henry David Thoreau, izwi rimwechete rinopesana nekuenderana kubva pane imwe nguva uye imwe nyika: "Kurembera mukusuwa kwakanyarara inzira yeChirungu".
Iri dambarefu raive rakakosha kwandiri semwana kuwana mimhanzi, uye ndichiri kuwana chirevo chitsva mairi. Ndazoona kuti harisi rwiyo rwekuti “Isu naivo” chete asi kuti dambarefu rese rinoratidza kunetsana kwakasimba nemagariro echivanhu izvo zvinozopedzisira zvamanikidza murwiri wezvematongerwo enyika ari kusimukira kuti asarudze pekumira, kuomesera. kusingaperi dzvinyiriro yekudzvinyirirwa kukundwa, kuzvipira zvachose kune zvikonzero zvisingatibvumiri kusarudza pakati. Handina kuva mumiriri wezvematongerwo enyika pandakava Pink Floyd fan ndichiri mudiki. Asi nhasi ndaona kuti nziyo dzaRoger Waters dzakandibatsira sei kugadzira nzira yangu zvishoma nezvishoma kuburikidza neshanduko isinganzwisisike uye inoparadzanisa nemunhu - uye hadzisi nziyo dzezvematongerwo enyika dzakajeka senge "Isu naivo" dzakandibatsira kuwana nzira iyi.
Midzi yepasi pebhendi rekutanga raRoger Waters inodzokera kumashure kupfuura zvinofungwa nevakawanda. Pink Floyd yaizove yakakurumbira zvikuru kuburikidza ne1970s uye 1980s, zvakadaro bhendi rakatanga kutamba gigs muEngland muna 1965 uye raive manzwiro mumazuva ekutanga ekutanga e1960s achizununguka muLondon, kwavaifarirwa nemhomho yevanhu vaiteerera Beat nhetembo. uye akarembera achitenderedza chitoro chemabhuku cheIndica, apo John Lennon naYoko Ono vaizosangana. Iyi yaive tsika ye1960s Pink Floyd yakabuda kubva.
Seimwe yekutanga uye yepakutanga mabhendi ekuedzwa / ekuyedza emhando yepamusoro yedombo, yekutanga Pink Floyd akabata pasi chiitiko muLondon mukati memakore mamwe chete anonakidza ayo Vakafa Vanofara vaigadzira chiitiko naKen Kesey muSan Francisco, uye Velvet. Underground vaifema pfungwa muNew York City neAndy Warhol's Exploding Plastic Inevitable. Hapana chimwe chezvikwata zvemasemina izvi chaive chezvematongerwo enyika, asi chaisafanirwa kudaro, sezvo nharaunda dzavaipa mimhanzi dzaive dzakanyura mukurwisa hondo nekufambira mberi kwepanguva iyoyo. Vechidiki muEngland yese munguva ye1960s vaishanda nesimba uye vachishevedzera nezwi guru pamusoro pezvombo zvenyukireya uye anti-colonialism, uye vechidiki vavo muU.SA vakanga vachidzidza kubva kune rimwe boka rekuratidzira rinopikisa kodzero dzevanhu raitungamirirwa naMartin Luther King uye vakanga zvino. chivakwa, zvakare negwaro rakapinza raMartin Luther King, bato guru idzva rine mukurumbira rinorwisa hondo yeunzenza muVietnam. Pakanga pari mukati memazuva anotyisa ema1960, apo mhodzi zhinji dzekuratidzira kwakakomba dzichiri kurarama nhasi dzakatanga kudyarwa.
Kufanana neVakafa Vanotenda vekutanga uye Velvet Underground, vhezheni yeLondon yePink Floyd yakaisa mamiriro emusoro akadzika midzi mukurota, achigadzira nziyo dzinoita sedzinovavarira nzvimbo yepfungwa pakati pekumuka nekurara. Roger Waters akatora hutungamiriri hwebhendi zvichitevera kusuwa kwaSyd Barrett kuita kupenga chaiko, uye “Rima Side reMwedzi” akakwirisa Mvura nevamwe vake vaimbi David Gilmour, Richard Wright naNick Mason mubudiriro huru yenyika, kunyangwe nhengo yese yebhendi. airatidza kusafarira tsika yemukurumbira nemukurumbira. Mvura yakashandura bhendi yake yenguva yepunk-rock muna 1977 ne "Mhuka" yehukasha uye yeOrwellian, ichiteverwa ne "The Wall", opera yepfungwa yerock ine kubudirira kukuru uye mukurumbira zvaizoenzana ne "Rima Side reMwedzi".
Pane chero munyori wenziyo werock akambofumura mweya wake wakakanganisika sezvinoita Roger Waters mu "Wall"? Zviri pamusoro penyeredzi yedombo anove akapfuma, akapambwa uye akadhakwa, achibuda semutungamiri chaiye wechifashisti, achinetsa vateveri vake kubva pachikuva chekonzati nekutukwa kwerudzi nevarume. Uku kwaiva kushamisira kwaRoger Waters, nokuti (sezvaakatsanangura kune vashoma vabvunzurudza vaaizotaura navo) akanga auya kuzozvidza rock star yake pachake uye simba raakamupa. Zvakatoipa zvikuru, mukurumbira waakaedza kudzivisa wakanga wamuparadzanisa chose chose navanhu vaiuya kumakonzati ake ndokufarikanya zvisikwa zvake. Pink Floyd aisakwanisa kugara kwenguva yakareba neiyi nhanho yekuzvitsvagisa, uye dambarefu rekupedzisira rebhendi muna 1983 raitova basa rega raRoger Waters, "The Final Cut". Iri dambarefu rakanga riri chirevo chehondo kubva pakutanga kusvika pakupedzisira, ndichichema nehondo pfupi yehupenzi uye ine hutsinye yeGreat Britain muna 1982 ichirwisa Argentina pamusoro peMalvinas, ichideedza nehasha Margaret Thatcher naMenachem Begin naLeonid Brezhnev naRonald Reagan nemazita.
Kushivirira kwezvematongerwo enyika kwaWaters zvishoma nezvishoma kwakatanga kutsanangura basa rake rose, kusanganisira maalbhamu ake ega uye kunyange opera yeFrench Revolution yaakanyora muna 2005, "Ça Ira". Muchirimo cha2021 ndakaenda kumusangano mudiki kumatare edhorobha reNew York City wegweta rakashinga. Steven Donziger, uyo akarangwa zvisina kururama nokuda kwokufumura mhosva dzezvakatipoteredza dzeChevron muEcuador. Pakanga pasina mhomho yakakura pamusangano uyu, asi ndakafara kuona Roger Waters aripo akamira padivi peshamwari yake uye achitora muchidimbu maikorofoni kuti vataure mazwi mashoma nezvenyaya yeDonziger, pamwe naSusan Sarandon naMarianne Williamson vakashinga. .
Steven Donziger akazopedza mazuva anokatyamadza 993 akasungwa nekuda kwehushingi hwekutaura akasununguka mukutsoropodza mubatanidzwa une simba seChevron. Handizive kana Roger Waters akambosungwa nekuda kwekuratidzira kwake, asi chokwadi akarangwa pamberi peruzhinji. Pandinotaura zita rake kune dzimwe shamwari dzangu, kunyangwe shamwari dzine ruzivo rwemumhanzi dzinonzwisisa mwero wehungwaru hwake, ndinonzwa kupomedzerwa kwakadai senge "Roger Waters is anti-semitic" - canard yakazara yakagadzirirwa kumukuvadza nemhando dzakafanana dzesimba. mauto akadhonza tambo kuti Chevron aise Steven Donziger mutirongo.
