I can't find it now, but I'd heard a version on youtube a long time ago from Iron Maiden where they changed the lyrics and it sang "run from the hills, run to your lives". You aren't alone, in our area the first nations and the colonial settlers fought together against fracking, and won. "Walk on, walk on with hope in your heart And you'll never walk alone" - Fearless

@oneoflokis that is because he has lived an easy,wealthy life.talks a lot about the evil of the west, but when it comes to the fascist and imperialistic Russia he finds excuses. People and artists who criticise the Russian government like he criticises the west,are killed or arrested in Russia and sometimes even outside Russia. I find the man an hypocrite of the worst kind.

Hi Chris! I am a life long jazz musician and never paid too much attention to Roger. But man...I cannot tell you how grateful I am for this interview. I had no idea about any of his background and what a great human being he is. Those of us in the music world who try to let people know about the reality of things really risk our careers and sometimes a lot more. I have traveled internationally for the last 2 decades and can tell you...I am ashamed many times when i have to take out my US passport. People look at me with HATE many times i tell you! I have lost many friends for touring in China! It is truly unreal how much ignorance there is. So now I mostly just play and get out to the next gig to continue my life, but....Its super tiring dealing with this as a musician and trying to even let people into my mind, to know my opinion about war and what the US does in this world! I am grateful to you in so many ways. I have watched you for a long time now, just to keep my mind in peace knowing that not everyone is totally corrupt and brainwashed. This interview gave me another reason to be at peace in the world and have a little more healing from the battles. My family has a long history of activism as well. My cousins were tortured in South America. Jailed. My uncle's persecuted by government police and military for going to Cuba back in the 70's and etc etc. So you can imagine why I listen to you. Not from anger...but from a place where I can find peace in my heart. To deal with the condition we find ourselves in. And to know I am not alone. Thank you again. And many big hugs. P

I was in Israel in1968 after the six day war, and witnessed the clearing of a Bedoin market in Beersheba. Mainly with young soldiers not much older than me. Their callous, cruel behavior drove a stake in my heart. It was like footage I had seen of the clearing of the ghettoes. When I returned home in London, I argued with my mother. (a Rumanian holocaust survivor) and ended up leaving home on my 18th birthday, early in the morning. Israel separated us forever, to my eternal regret. But the lesson here from my own experience was that we pass on our traumas to the next generation, and that is why the strife continues. Lets face it, Israelis have taken the mantle of revengeful oppression with gusto, and modern efficiency...

It's not pleasant or easy to create a state. There's no peaceful way of doing it. So if you agree that the Jews should have a country of their own in Palestine, there's no way round the fact that some people are going to suffer because of that. By the way, Bedouin have also been extremely cruel to other peoples, including Sudanese African refugees that they've caught in the desert.

I love listening to you two. I have followed world politics for 4 decades and you two totally resonate with what I feel. I feel vindicated. Interesting to know that all my friends around me are not engaged at all. From NZ
Thank you Chris!
Roger Waters - what a great musician and great soul! Got tickets for the upcoming Budapest concert in April, can't wait to be there!
Really scary but oddly comforting to know at least a few people know what’s going on in this world

Bit worried he’s bought into gnosticism, tho’.
Roger Waters is 100% precise with his understanding of the situation! I love Roger Waters! So admirable! He is clear minded, if only many more listen to his message, great interview
Good lord, 2 amazing minds. Fantastic interview
Such an important piece of journalism. Thank you Chris Hedges!!!!
I got welled up with emotions hearing Roger express his emotions, he and pink floyd have influenced multiple generations with their gift of music, I think I was 7 the 1st time I heard pink floyd, 1976, and ever since. God Bless You Roger Waters
As always, TRNN and Chris Hedges hit another homerun. Thanks!
Thanks! It was a pleasure to listen to this discussion
Thankyou Chris for this interview; and Roger for the observation "there is only one road"
Big thumbs up to Chris Hedges for this wonderful and a great interview!
With every day my respect for Rodger grows. It actually parallels my thoughts about Chris too.
One of the most profound and deep interviews I have ever seen - you are both heroes of progressive politics

"Progressive" is how the lunatics describe their brand of politics. Personally, I wouldn't thank you for applying it to me, but I know some still use it.
Thanks for this C.H.and R.W. 👍👍👍👍
🙏 Two of the most revered men I’ve listened to. 😊❤️❤️✌️✌️
Wow. Best interview with Roger I’ve seen. ✌️🇦🇺
Thanks, Chris, you surely face a lot of pressure from the organizations who love "peace" and "justice".
I love this interview!! The creative Roger Waters chatting with a really humble and intelligent journalist, Chris Hedges.
Got to see Roger in Columbus, OH. In 1987. One of the best light shows ever!
Been to hundreds of concerts going back to the Beatles, Hendrix, Who, LedZep .... "This Is Not a Drill" was hands down the most eye popping and meaningful! Great Interview!
