1. In the early 1960's at age 15 Roger was Chairman of the Cambridge England Youth Campaign for Nuclear

Disarmament. He had designed it's publicity poster and participated in it's organization.

3. Money, so they say, is the root of all evil today

Money
Get away
You get a good job with good pay and you're okay
Money
It's a gas
Grab that cash with both hands and make a stash
New car, caviar, four star daydream
Think I'll buy me a football team

Money
Well, get back
I'm all right Jack
Keep your hands off of my stack
Money
It's a hit
Don't give me that do goody good bullshit
I'm in the high-fidelity first class travelling set
I think I need a Lear jet

Money
It's a crime
Share it fairly
But don't take a slice of my pie
Money
So they say
Is the root of all evil today
But if you ask for a raise
It's no surprise that they're giving none away

6. All the lyrics on Dark Side of the Moon hit the bullseye .

And the music was expressive, innovative and powerful.

IMO, it may be the most socially relevant work of art ever produced.

10. "The Wall" is returning to the states next spring

If you missed it last year or even if you didn't I highly recommend it. I saw the original in 1980 and this surpasses that legendary production. He's updated a lot of imagery to make it even more relevant for these strange daze.

11. Updated? Thanks for the tip.

I had no idea. Haven't seen it since the '80s myself.
