Idolator
As breathlessly reported by Matt Drudge, former Pink Floyd singer Roger Waters used his recent run of New York-area performances to float this enormous anti-Bush screed over the audience. No word on the crowd reaction yet (if you were there, let us know how it went over), but this is easily our favorite pink-faced, pro-Democrat porker since Clinton in '92.
UPDATE: A witness relays the following from the Madison Square Garden Show:
Crowd was of smiling/smirking during the track ("Leaving Beirut")...small amount of boo's as the pig floated by. There was one guy front row center who stood up and threw the middle finger but after a few min he was told to sit down by security
We didn't realize David Gilmour could score front-row-center seats these days.

anytime you post about/from drudge, you need to bust out the sirens. sayin'.
I was there. The pig prompted the middle-aged guy behind me to start lecturing his teenaged son on middle-east relations and why we should support Bush.
It was annoying, but I was distracted by the 3 people to my left frantically searching the floor during half of Dark Side Of The Moon for the joint they dropped.
And I thought the most embarrassing thing about this show was the T-shirts I've seen around this week... though I kind of wish I'd been there to laugh at the middle-finger guy.
David Gilmour was the musical soul of Pink floyd. Roger Waters' lyrics get on nerves but Gilmour is the man!
