My Father survived combat in WWII, fighting the Japanese in Burma, with Merrill's Marauders, and when this album came out, in 1980, I was 16 years old, ignorant, high, self absorbed, disrespectful, and had the TEMERITY to swear at, and disrespect, this Incredible man... Roger Waters' Masterpiece, The Wall, got me to think about what Pa had seen, lived through... and this album, about Walls we INDEED spend a lifetime building, got me to Begin, to Tear Down the Wall, between Pa, and me. He would be with us til November 2002, and the rest of my life with him, was spent enjoying the company, companionship, generosity, compassion, and Love, of this Kind, Intelligent, Brave, Loving Man. Thank You, Roger Waters, David Gilmore, Nick Mason, and Richard Wright... You're EPIC Album, opened my eyes to my Father's Suffering, and his Humanity. YOU ARE SO MUCH MORE THAN A BAND. YOU ARE THE FLOYD, YOU ARE A LIFE FORCE, AND I CONTINUE, 40 ODD YEARS ON, TO STAND IN AMAZEMENT, AT YOUR TALENT AND CREATIVITY. MAY YOUR GODS BLESS ALL OF YOU, AND FROM THE BOTTOM OF A HEART, ALSO BLACKENED BY LIFES PAIN... THANK YOU.
