Are there any paranoids in the audience tonight?
On the Live version of Pink Floyd's "The Wall", there's this glorious moment where Roger Waters has this interaction with the crowd:
RW: Are there any paranoids in the audience tonight?
Crowd: yaaay
RW: Is there anyone here who worries about things?
Crowd: yaaay
RW: Pathhhhetic. This is for all the WEAK people in the audience!!
Crowd: YAAAAAY WOOOOO YAAAAY
RW: IS THERE ANYONE HERE WHO'S WEAK!?
Crowd: YAAAAAAAAAAAY
RW: This one's for you, it's called 'Run Like Hell'. LET'S ALL HAVE A CLAP!!!! COME ON, I CAN'T HEAR YOU!! GET YOUR HANDS TOGETHER!!!! HAVE A GOOD TIME!!! ENJOY YOURSELVES!!! THAT'S BETTER!!!
It never fails to bring a smile to my face. It's an absolutely, completely, utterly bizarre exchange. I'm sure that Waters enjoyed the irony of it greatly. Not sure if the audience did though...
I love that CD.
