In this thought-provoking, WTF episode of Regarding...Roger, hosts Chaz Charles and Greg "Wolfie" Wolfe dive deep into the track Any Colour You Like from both the original and the Redux version of Pink Floyd's iconic "Dark Side of the Moon."
The digressionary duo embarks on a lively and detailed analysis of the new interpretations and additions Roger Waters has made to the classic instrumental piece, making time to analyze the lyrics as well...as they should. They explore Waters' commentary on themes such as nationality, sexuality, and the symbolism behind flags, tying these to the current societal context with references to Ukraine and the rainbow flag, and all that implies. The episode is enriched with high-brow, speculative humor about Waters' intentions, playfully questioning the necessity and execution of this Redux project. In other words - Why Roger, why?
As Chaz and Wolfie trip over themselves navigating this album they maintain a balance of reverence for the original work and a critical eye on the new layers added by Waters. They deserve your patronage and acclaim for having gotten this far in the challenge of interpreting the always cryptic newly added lyrics...this time pondering the potential meanings behind references to modern technology like CAT scans and electron microscopes. The episode not only serves as an entertainingly excruciating exploration of Waters' latest artistic endeavor but also serves as a glaring reminder that still, we ask...Why Roger, why?
The WTF Episode. It was inevitable it would come to this. Chaz and Wolfie have endured quite a lot in the making of this podcast, and at a point, it becomes necessary to...go on a digression. Oh, and that's gonna be late...
🎸As always, Chaz & Wolfie are on the case digging into the what of this why...wtf?? Always offering their unique, boneless insights, as only they can. And you know, the Regarding...Series of mini-podcasts is not political, not correct, and you're lucky we use spell-check. When facts don't matter and feuds matter less, we go into what we know and what we can google about each song from Dark Side of the Moon, then and redux, one track at a time, in a compare and contrast format. Each show we'll listen to the original, and how he butchered it with his new version. Er...we mean, the new additive interpretation work by Mr. Waters...no bias here.Â
