I few years later, at the still tender age of seventeen, I saw the movie based on the epic rock album, and started to grasp Roger Water&#8217;s concept of isolation and loneliness.<\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><a style=\"clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\" href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mywalkabout.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/f0dce-014.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mywalkabout.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/f0dce-014.jpg?resize=640%2C476&#038;ssl=1\" width=\"640\" height=\"476\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>During the 1990&#8217;s I was as lost as the album&#8217;s main character, Pink.

It&#8217;s been over twenty five years since &#8220;The Wall&#8221; was released, and it sounds as new today as when it first was released.<\/p>\n<p>Like myself, Roger Water&#8217;s himself has changed. he now relates his masterpiece as an anti-war message. The shows message on this topic is clear throughout the Broadway-esque live performance.<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: -webkit-auto;\">We are reminded of the slippery slope we have when our government gets too much power, like the murder in London of Brazilian man\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Jean_Charles_de_Menezes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Jean Charles de Menezes<\/a>\u00a0, who was shot seven times in the head by the London Metropolitan police after being mistakenly identified as someone associated with the 1995 bombings that occurred there.<\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both;
