You know what I don't understand... why is brother of Roger Waters, one of the richest musicians of that time, driving a cab?

[labitajojo]

Well, let's say he's got a dark side and a less-dark side ^^

Btw, that giigle at 3mn gets me everytime too, seen it again again. And, that is his less-dark side I think. He's such a lovely human. Very genuine and touching.

Geldof is so fucking lame... I thought so when I was 15 when I saw the wall and still know...

@Ahil982 Yeah seriously. W. T. F.

@carolinainfidel Oh Yeah. "Pink" is ..John Lennon... better read before talking B.S..

[futilerecordings]

@labitajojo Yeah I used to see him all the time when I lived on Long Island.

Geldof singing In The Flesh sounds like Jim Carrey doing a Roger Waters impression

@CityslickCaptain it was rhetorical, buddy

[CityslickCaptain]

@slatejob11 I appolgize. I assumed your question was rhetorical. I'm a tad surprised you would think that I would know whether or not his brother is a musical genius. Having said that, I'm inclined, given that he is, or was a cab driver, to doubt that he is a musical genius, but, of course, I can't say for sure. Perhaps if you did a little research you could find the answer to your question.

[slatejob11]

@CityslickCaptain Thats not what i asked. And besides, if you feel so strongly about it, just become a genius, make a succesful band, have a brother, convince him to become a cab driver, then give him a couple million and problem solved!

[CityslickCaptain]

@slatejob11 If I was a musical genius, there's no way anyone in my family would be driving a cab for a living.

@CityslickCaptain is his brother a musical genius?
