   Joe Mahoney to All   
   Neil Peart's Admiration for Roger Waters   
   07 Jan 19 07:53:11   
   
   From: joemahoney1950@gmail.com   
      
   My fellow tasters of the Trumpian truffle; my fellow fans of the florid   
   fungus.  Today's sermon concerns our favorite ID-theorist drummer's admiration   
   for the another man associated with a rather unusual color:  Roger Waters.  Of   
   PINK Floyd.  (RW must be    
   kicking himself for not calling his band the Florida Gold Floyd!)   
      
   Now, if you'll take out your dog-eared, Bud-Lite stained, and pizza sauced   
   newspaper clippings (today, we prefer Fox News) of Neil Peart articles, you'll   
   quickly be reminded that Neil was an enormous admirer of Pink Floyd founder   
   Roger Waters.     
      
   But it's not Waters' bass playing that Neil invokes.  Or his vocals.  Or his   
   lyrics.  Rather, it's Waters' gift as a VISIONARY that Neil is so enamored   
   with.   
      
   What, pray (down on your knees -- now!), ARE Waters' visions?     
      
   There's Animals, about Waters' Bible-driven belief about man's (and man's   
   alone -- no women allowed here!) dominion over animals, and his    
   onstitution-guaranteed right to massive arsenals of rifles, handguns, AK-47s,   
   etc, with which to slaughter these    
   beasts as well as dusky-skinned invaders.   
      
   There's Dark Side of the Moon, about Aliens,   
      
   There's Wish You Were Here, created while Trump was not yet a world-class   
   Biblical scholar or the most popular president ever or even a TV personality   
   -- but how Waters was yearning -- WISHING -- for Trump's presence!     
      
   And then, the band's piece de resistance, THE WALL.  This is Waters' epiphany,   
   his vision that so named Neil Peart.  Waters' extrasensory image of a   
   magnificent wall, to keep out those tortilla truck driving, taco-bending   
   bastards!     
      
   And that is the basis for Neil's love of Roger Waters.   
      
   You may return now to prepping, my congregants.   
      
   As always, spiritual not religious,   
      
   Joe "Large and In Charge" M.
