Waters Slams Hillary Clinton According to NME Roger
Waters has slammed Democrat Presidential hopeful Hillary
Clinton, claiming she would start a war with Iran
if she got into the White House. Roger has pledged
his support for Barack Obama in the race to be the
Democrat nominee for the next Presidential election. Knickers! In
another interview Roger said he is delighted he now
attracts legions of young women at his live shows
- because they're more likely to wave their knickers
at him!

Here
We Go Again! The silly
season is once more amoungst us, and rumours of a
Pink Floyd re-union are doing the rounds again. This
time they seem to be springing from an interview Nick
Mason did recently. In that interview, when asked
the chances of another one off' charity gig, Nick
Said "I'm
pretty sure we'll play together again" and "We're
not at each other's throats now". This has spawned
dozens of news stories across the net. The truth is,
Nick has been saying the same sorts of things for
a couple of years now, and there's absolutely nothing
new in this.
