Waters said in an interview back in the 80's that one of the verses is about Thatcher, who was at the time was not yet Prime Minister, but still an apparently prominent MP (prominent enough that Rog felt obliged to take a swipe at her).

Waters must have been joking bc 3 different pigs the only female was Mary Whitehouse, Zappa nemesis too.

Waters is teasing a project on FB called Us+Them which may or may not be the long rumored new studio project.

http://roger-waters.com/ Website has that teaser too. Rumors are that it is-

A new album.
A new album of reworked old material.
A live album of the current Mexico/Desert shows.
The name of his upcoming tour (Fingers crossed for that one.)

Long shot- He and Gilmour (well, Pigs are flying again.) will play several select dates as Pink Floyd, including a 5+ night residency in NYC and London.

Lots of chatter on social media that Gilmour was to show up last night; prolly for "Comfortably Numb". May happen next week still. May not.

I'd put Money (ahem) on it being a live album from the current shows, or, hopefully a tour of this "Best Of Pink Floyd" material.

Indeed. Roger Waters and Pink Floyd have always appreciated the value of professional branding, design and communications. I would have expected nothing less from him.

It is not Thatcher (at least in the song). Waters is no Socialist.

When Rog was the guest on the Eric Ripert cooking show a couple of years back, he described his family as being Socialists...not that there's anything wrong with that...

Communists...socialists...two sides of the coin...

If that is true I guess they must be turning in their graves - if they are dead of course, as little Roger turned out to be an avid, even (if you'll forgive me), a rabid fan of fox-hunting - usually a pass-time of the nasty idle rich. So much so that the reason he left the UK was because of their passing into law a ban on fox-hunting - or as Oscar Wilde observed:
"The Unspeakable in Pursuit of the Uneatable".

There is little in Final Cut to contradict the views expressed over the last couple of decades.

Interesting little post-

https://www.facebook.com/rogerwaters...89284701115333

*** "Pink Floyd reunites to stand with the Women of the Gaza Freedom Flotilla" - David Gilmour, Nick Mason and Roger Waters stand united in support of the Women of the Gaza Freedom Flotilla, and deplore their illegal arrest and detention in international waters by the Israeli Defense Force. ***

Hmmmmm....

Wow! Some political message in Pigs

Yup, a spade right in the heart of the trump suit!! Join the club, crazy diamond.

She had been the minister for education and in that capacity stopped the policy of providing free milk to every child at school to ensure healthy bone development (rickets was not unusual in post-war Britain) - this earned her the name Thatcher the Milk-Snatcher and was the beginning of much of the hatred of her which did not diminish with her death.

hey a dead Maggie Bitcher is still a bitch...

Just give them vitamin D, you don't need milk. What other species drinks milk, then that from another species.

That's maybe why we're so superior too

Can you imagine the British Empire without that cloud of milk in their tea?

Well I appreciated the milk when I was a kid growing up there at the time - since then I have become a vegan - which kind of brings us back to the main subject of this thread - Roger Waters, who, given some of his beliefs, is almost certainly not a vegan.

Way too intelligent to become a vegan (or a vegetarian FTM)

That's a whole lot of rumours out of the windmill

Wouldn't call it prophetic, because sadly it was fairly predictable with a certain hindsight.

The show looks fantastic. I'm not a Waters solo fan, but would see this in a heartbeat! IF I could get tickets that is!
The idea of Gilmour being in any way involved is sheer unmitigated madness. He doesn't play his OWN old solo work which he's already stated he has no connection to at all, much less playing Animals. On a stage with Waters.
Don't see that happening.
So congrats to Waters for bringing this music back to life, as a solo artist.
