David Gilmour talks about "We Don't Need No Education"

[tiffanyward]

I love that David stood up for Roger in a way

[JHJNC]

The next line is: "We don't need no thought control." Which puts the previous line into context.

[Danleesixoneonetwofive]

Indeed: it’s “when we grew up and went to school, there were certain teachers.” The context is important

[GZPB]

A metaphor of tyranny. What a song. What an album.

Mr Gilmore. Happy Birthday and I want to thank you and the rest of the band for your gift to humanity. I have contemplated many times as to what is the best Pink Floyd song. And after careful consideration I have concluded that it’s the one you’re listening to. 😊

[marymccarty]

My God how relevant is that song today.

[joecostigan]

I’m studying to be a teacher, that line is supposed to mean don’t be a bad and cruel teacher. Anyone who doesn’t like that line just doesn’t like or understand Pink Floyd

[Coneman]

This shows the shallowness of Andrew Marr’s intellect.

When iI heard that song for the first time, it brought tears to my eyes. We finally got recognized. It was pretty normal getting beaten up by adults.

[majedabbas]

Waw whata legend, music genius, thanks master Dave for all the amazing music you gave us the whole world 🌎 love you so much ❤❤❤

[brettwoodard]

Greatest band ever, happy 50th birthday Dark Side of the Moon!

[Kristie]

C’est toujours avec émotion que je l’écoute et le regarde ♥️♥️

[jessewhite]

I think we absolutely needed that song. If we can’t be rebel in reality then let us at least get a breather with a relatable song.

[Blacksheep-Ba-Ba]

As we grow older- we grow wiser..
I chalk it up to youth- for the artist and the listener ❤❤❤

[mikewazowski]

I knew of the music of Pink Floyd when I was younger, but in the 10th grade a friend introduced me to it in a different way. Usually a dime or quarter bag and then putting the record player on replay. I most likely listened to that record over a thousand times. I still have my double LP The Wall from high school which still plays great even after all that use.

[paxielle]

I love that song and lyrics so much.
I was top of my class. I've graduated vet school. School is very frustrating, dealing wih "certain teachers" or surgeons especially is very frustrating.

[kevinmcc]

I'm glad David explained it they don't mean no education at all but it was talking about how you teach or present education.

[brosephh]

Why does every reporter feel like it’s their duty to shill for the state?

[richardeast]

It’s a double negative, so it actually means that we do indeed need teachers.

[sylviaalger]

The lyrics are more relevant than ever today! We don’t need no thought control especially. Gezzz and the ‘education’, they can keep that as well!
