In part 2 of The Big Interview sneak peek, Roger Waters, talks about his legendary album, The Dark Side of the Moon. He also shares with Dan aspects of his career that he is most proud of.

For the first time in 25 years Roger Waters has a new solo album coming out, in part because the Trump administration has him as inspired, or incited, as he’s ever been.

On Tuesday, April 4th, The Big Interview with Dan Rather has Roger Waters as his guest. The show airs at 8pm EST/7pm CST on AXS TV.

 “Tomorrow you’ll get to see an interview with Waters, the visionary behind Pink Floyd. He is provocative, outspoken, but also poetic. I was struck by his ability to paint a picture with words. At one point when I asked him about the story behind Pink Floyd’s classic song “Wish You Were Here”, he explained how former lead singer Syd Barrett was part of the inspiration for the song, but in general he prefers to not examine the when and the how of songwriting too much. “It would feel a little bit like investigating a butterfly,” he said. “You end up with dust and a few broken bits”..”

You can watch The Big Interview tomorrow on AXS TV at 8pm ET.
