Former Pink Floyd tunesmith Roger Waters just headlined day three of the Coachella music festival in Indio, CA with what the AP described as “an epic two-set performance that included playing all of "Dark Side of the Moon" and unleashing a giant inflated pig into the night sky.”
Waters, a Brit who has been a regular critic of the war in Iraq and the Bush Administration apparently had some special graffiti added to his famous, flying pig just for the event. The AP reports, “The pig, which was led above the crowd from lines held on the ground, displayed the words "Don't be led to the slaughter" and a cartoon of Uncle Sam wielding two bloody cleavers. The other side read, "Fear builds walls." The underside of the pig simply read "Obama" with a checked ballot box alongside.”

Not sure what the Obama camp’s reaction will be to the news of the 64-year-old musician and admitted acid user’s endorsement.
It always strikes me a very sad when musicians and performers feel that their celebrity is enough to get us to give a crap about their opinions. The fact of the matter is their opinions are of no greater value than any one else’s, in fact since they live a life sheltered in that celebrity and more often than not are bubbleheads, I tend to place no value on their opinions.
To sum it up, I’ll start to care about Roger Waters’ opinion, when pigs fly. To borrow the title of Laura Ingraham’s first book, “Shut Up and Sing.”

Actually, I'm sure you'd listen if he endorsed John McCain. And you can't say otherwise.
You've obviously confused me with a grape Kool Aid swilling liberal...I, unlike you, don't need someone to tell me who to vote for...I'm smart enough to think for myself without having some half wit celebrity lead me around by the nose...so I guess I can say otherwise.
Your ignorant, I am positive that Roger Waters is more informed and more intelectual than you will ever be. your an idiot and should really stop judging ans shut your mouth...people like you really annoy me
Don't tell me...let me guess, you're a Pink Floyd fan...I'll let your apparent illiteracy speak for itself.
