by For years political leaders, military experts and scientists have been making the big decisions in this world. They have lorded their experience, training and skill over the globe and look where that has gotten us - war, famine and interminable reruns of Wings. This usurpation of power comes at the expense of our true masters. Who are those 'true masters' you may ask? Entertainers, of course. And after centuries of taking a back seat, Entertainers are making a huge comeback and are showing us how to make sense of the confusing tangle of complex issues that stultify the normal intellect. We all know how Tom Cruise convincingly shattered the evil edifice of psychiatry and warned us all never to be 'glib' when dealing with important issues. More recently Roger Waters, veteran rocker and international political autodidact, urged Israelis to tear down the wall separating the West Bank. Waters said, 'we need this generation of Israelis to tear down the walls and make peace with their neighbors.' One Israeli, upon hearing Waters, remarked, 'We never knew it was that easy! Thank you Mr. Waters. Don't ever stop rockin!'
Also in recent days, brilliant actress Susan Sarandon informed the U.S. that the answer to the border security problem is to build schools, not walls, in Tijuana. When asked how building schools would stop someone from bringing a bomb across the border, Sarandon deftly remarked that she would deploy her personal MW-77 to handle the situation at no taxpayer expense. So while politicians and other 'experts' hand us problems, remember that entertainers give us solutions.

Roger Waters needs to realize that "peace on earth begin with me" and re-unite with his bandmates from Pink Floyd! The only wall he needs to be caring about is The Wall, his marvelous semi-autobiographical Floyd double-album-cum-movie-starring-Bob-Geldof.
Roger Waters without the rest of Pink Floyd is like Axl without Slash and the rest of Gn'R. (hey, did you know Gn'R has a new album coming out, Axl's been working on it for over ten years but he says it'll be out in the fall...heard that before! Chinese Democracy, where are you?)
Anyway, it's funny about Roger Waters- Floyd can't even reunite and he thinks the inordinately more complex Israeli-Palestinian problem is going to solve itself. When he and David Gilmour play Kumbaya together then he can talk about the West Bank.
That said, if I was rich and famous, I would feel a moral obligation to share my opinions on how to make the world a better place. Granted, a lot of celebs come off as pretty stupid when doing it, but as long as we the consumers have enough sense to consider the source things will be all right. After all, it's not like many of our political office-holders are much more intelligent than your average actor.
What I think is really super about the world today is that you don't even have to be rich and famous to share your opinions anymore. Just get a blog, and your voice can be heard all around there world.
The sunny side of the coin on this, though, is that you can ignore moronic bloggers just as easily as I ignore Susan Sarandon and the Pink Floyd guy. Truly, the great thing about all these 100%-opinion-0%-thought loud mouths (both on the TV and the 'net) is that if you ignore them, they just go away!
Sure, I can ignore them, but I wish the media could/would ignore them.

Keep on Rockin' in the Free World.... by RyanDK :: NR4 :: on 25 June 2006
"I had at one point this rather depressing image of some alien culture seeing the death of this planet - coming down in their spaceships and sniffing around; finding all our skeletons sitting around our TV sets and trying to work out why our end came before its time and they come to the conclusion that we amused ourselves to death..." -Roger Waters. If we don’t start listening to these folks, it’s only a matter of time until, well, you read the quote. But, if we act quickly and let Entertainers (along with Jesse Jackson) make the decisions, everything will be just fine.

Hey Ryan! I was out in the tool shed the other day playing around with an old time machine I made when Mark was just a child, I fuel it up with a frozen cat. Everybody knows time is temperature an absolute zero is attainable is you have the basic knowledge. Enough of the minor details, point is I travel forward 50 years and saw my tomb stone, but the really weird thing was that Mark and Will were working in a Mac-Donald's and you RyanK ruled the world. World is at total peace, beer was free and there were free lift tickets for everyone.
