Roger Waters
George
Roger Waters
United Kingdom
Born September 6, 1943
Roger
has 2 children, Harry and India with Priscilla, has been married to Jude and
Carolyn. Roger's father was killed in action at Anzio, only a few months after
he was born. As a young teen, Roger's pursuits included playing with toy guns
(& shooting real ones), and staying up at night listening to his radio tuned
to Armed Forces Network or Radio Luxembourg.
He
did not like apprenticeship as a naval cadet, quit, and was given a dishonorable
discharge. He instead became chairman of the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament's
local youth chapter.
Roger's
life from the beginning, and still is, a conscious and unconscious mourning for
the father he never knew, and hatred of the hierarchy of circumstances that
robbed him of his father.
While Roger's lyrical 'brilliance' of the past cannot be denied, his inability to come to terms with his grief and hatred eventually wore out its welcome with the majority of his fans. Roger quit Pink Floyd in the mid 1980's
