EThe WallE was Roger Waters's first album. So begins Dave
Thompson's Thompson's ERoger Waters: The Man Behind the WallE the
first full biography on this notoriously guarded personality that
has eluded probing queries and papertrail dissection for the
entirety of his career. As he prepares to release his first solo
album in twenty-five years buff up on your Waters know-how with the
paperback edition of Thompson's incisive profile first published in
2013.THBorn in 1943 amidst the bombs and shrapnel of the Second
World War Waters abandoned a career in architecture to pursue his
myriad demons through song. Over the years imbued with an utter
brilliant mind and a general tendency toward belligerence Waters
has regularly butted heads with his bandmates fellow musicians fans
acquaintances family political figures and entire nations a but
why? Leaning on original research conducted among Waters' inner
circle of friends and associates Thompson cautiously dismantles
every wall Waters has erected between himself and the public a
brick at a time in pursuit of an answer. As the mass of apparent
contradictions stack up and the saga of this publicly isolated man
unravels Thompson arrives at a portrait of an artist every bit as
nuanced and recalcitrant as his work would suggest.
