The Reason Why Roger Waters is So Outspoken

Taken from JRE #1878 w/Roger Waters:

[MargoKms]

His mom was a champ! I wish more parents would teach their children importance of critical thinking

[radams]

I love it Joe that you have Roger on your show and you listen to him speak. We all feel part of the conversation. This was such an easy, free flowing, conversation. What a fantastic interview.

[sstaners]

What I love about Joe Rogan vs every other interviewer is Joe actually lets the guests speak. He doesn’t try and interrupt or talk over them. And Waters is a very interesting person to get to know. Very intriguing.

[lsva]

Roger Waters has had such an illustrious career. Musician, activist, headcoach of the Seattle Seahawks.

His stories about his childhood and mother are extremely endearing. When I was growing up, my parents refused to tell "us kids" who they voted for in elections because they wanted us to grow up and make our own decisions without their influence. It meant something.

[josephcurran]

This is a huge difference between the generations. Roger's mom was a single parent who believed in the importance of educating her children so they could develop their minds and become useful in society

First time making a comment on a video...I could listen to Joe and Roger for hours. Chills listening...WOW! Thank you Joe for providing the platform and thank you Roger Waters for being an open-book...you are imo one of the greatest people of our time. I have 3 kids who at a very young age were exposed to your music. As they grew in age, I began to share with them my feelings on your lyrics...the deeper meaning beyond the "music/song." As they are now young adults, we reference specific lines from your poetry as we deal with life's challenges. My youngest has even taken one specific line to heart (ten years have got behind us, no one told us when to run, you missed the starting gun) - graduating high school and immediately "getting on with life" by traveling and exploring the country. She continues to have not a worry in the world of conforming to "the machine" and money and material items. She's one of the happiest young adults and I truly believe it's (in part) the impact your lyric(s) had on her at an early stage in her life. To that I say thank you!

That was a great story from a man who truly respects and loves his mother. She sounds like she was an incredible person.

[LisaLightning]

Roger’s mom reminds me of my dad. He tried to teach us to read every side of the story and understand all sides of the issue before making any conclusions. It’s called critical thinking. Which nowadays is nonexistent in most people. And also respecting other people even when they are different. Just being a good person. My dad was also happily atheist.

[ivanlasic]

Funny how all the good advice my father gave me kicked in into my mind after he was gone. At the time advice was given i did not take it seriously but now when i am older it is all coming back to me. Respect your parents people.

a man who show up his love for his mother, openly, is a man of honor

[jbf]

Saw him my first and probably only time last weekend in Vegas.
He puts on a show that is second to none.
His set is tight, and professional.
The performance is better than most current musicians could ever hope to create.
Consider he is 79 years old, and he put on two separate sets with maybe a 15 minute intermission. He was amazing.
People give him shit for being political…Consider his dad and grandfather were killed in war.
People give him shit for being kind of grouchy and disrespectful of his band mates.

I’m just glad they made the albums they did. I wish him and David would have been able to coexist longer.

[HB-hlfm]

No way he got Roger Waters! This will be a sick podcast

[ronnanoray]

His mum was such a brilliant lady, imagine if more mothers were like her...this world would've been a better place

[mohamedhassissi]

Many of PF songs start to make more sense when you hear Roger talk about his mother. What an honor it is to sit across the table from this Musical genius and have a 2 hour conversation with him.

[icangetyoursnap]

I know exactly what he means about the adolescent dread of death. Happened to me when I was 12. One night it got so bad I went to my parents room while they were sleeping and my mom told me “you’re still so young, you have a whole life ahead of you, don’t worry.” Funny this brought up a core memory. I’m 21 now and am so grateful for my youth, sometimes being 60 sounds surreal. Really put age into perspective. Life’s beautiful

[BayanH]

He's such a brilliant story teller! I felt mesmerized throughout the entire video ♥️

[nateforrest]

not being roger's number one fan, this video helps me understand a little better why he is the way he is. rock on roger.

[jasondoolin]

I don’t care what anyone says about Roger, I love him and I recognize that he is a rare, treasured soul.

[polsh]

This man is a legend. Hes a living legend.
