Instead we got a self-indulgent Waters rambling, seemingly from a dark corner of forgotten room in an obscure looney bin in rural Belgium. All very poignant and relevant, but…much different. “Get you filthy hands off my desert!” is always in the back of my head when I hear about Middle East conflicts du jour. That, and Timone from The Lion King: “We’re gonna fight your uncle…for this?”
