 Feb 2012. While walking home from work the Dude was lucky enough to go through the solitude of Australian bush land... He stopped to take a deep breath in this one particular spot he marveled at the Quiet his mind wandered ... He started thinking about a birthday gift for his son, which was coming up He breathed some more...  What came in... was the following: He was vaguely aware that his son was a Pink Floyd fan A few other random facts followed into his consciousness: - that Roger Waters was touring with "the Wall" in Brisbane the very next day - that it is possible to buy late tickets through ebay On pure instinct.. that same night - the Dude did get two ebay tickets and next day sent off his son and eldest daughter to the show. It all fell together magically... Footnote:His daughter  in particular was most impressedPost gig - she rated it as the best concert she has ever seen! (and loved the following songs)  Bring the Boys back Home: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ALYh5nJoMtM Also, as an aside... the Dude has been aware that Roger Waters is one of those artists who has something to say... Words through his music... that are important now.. as they were... 30 or 40 years ago.. Timeless messages about: Family, War, Peace, Fascism, Relationships, Love, Death, Loss, Depression, Drug usage, Creativity, Happiness etc  It is like performance art... and could be used as an education tool for young people even.. I certainly would prefer studying this album , rather than some of the other stuff that was trowelled out!  SUPPORT THE DUDE!!! in his noble quest to build Earthship Hut.
