1986.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
The year I got my drivers license, my first car ( a yellow Ford Pinto), and the freedom to drive to my hometown’s local music store.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
I bought Pink Floyd’s<\/a> “Dark Side of the Moon” on tape. Back then it was touted as one of the top selling albums of that year, even though it was originally released in 1973.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
I popped in into the sound system I’d just installed into my shitty little car, and what I heard blew me away, leaving an ever lasting impression on my world view.<\/div>\n

Roger Waters<\/a>, one of the founding members of the band, is still touring. This time around is the “Us\u00a0+ Them” tour, honoring music from this timeless classic album, as well as new material he has released.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
I’m no fan of Trump, but Roger’s anti-Trump sentiment in his new songs was a bit too much, even for me. When he stuck with his classic songs though, his concert was a huge success.<\/div>\n\n\n
