Why won't Roger Waters support the troops?

That's the tone of this Drudge Report item, which takes the Pink Floyd maestro to task for using the famous flying pig to ask concert-goers to vote Democratic in the mid-term elections. Waters is on a U.S. tour, a show that's said to include the entire "Dark Side of the Moon."

DULLARD TAKE: This is typical Waters. Drudge apparently didn't hear the anti-war message in famous Floyd works such as "The Wall" and "The Final Cut," so this development isn't the big news he thinks it is. (Drudge probably overlooked the same themes in Waters' solo work, but then again, many of us did.)

WHAT'S AHEAD: Indulging in my Pink Floyd fetish, I am going to a Waters show in suburban D.C. next weekend, and I will report back on what he says about Bush, Iraq, etc.
