The gripping story of one
The gripping story of one of the most CHILLING songs of the rock era … Hey You by Rock’s most mysterious band Pink Floyd. The author of this song Roger Waters found out over the phone that his wife was leaving him for another man… And so did Hey You's protangonist Pink. This emotional revelation was just one part of a devastating list of psychological daggers that nearly killed him… Choosing to isolate his soul from the world, the madness swallowed him whole… Hey You was from his perspective in these last lucid moments. It’s the story of a disillusioned musician’s last contact with reality and his last hope for survival. Today’s song is the definition of madness. Get the story next on Professor of Rock.

While playing the last show of Pink Floyd’s 1977 Animals tour, something snapped inside of Roger Waters. And in an uncharacteristic move, he lashed out at a fan near the stage. I guess this had been building for some time. Yeah, the tour had been long and exhausting. But something else had been bothering Waters. There was an increasing divide between the band and the audience.
As Floyd's popularity grew throughout the 70s, so did the size of their venues. Intimate concerts gave way to arena rock. And these stadium showcases became less fulfilling. Said Waters, “the people who you're most aware of at a rock show on stage are the front 20 or 30 rows of bodies. And in large situations where you're using what's euphemistically called "festival seating" they tend to be packed together, swaying madly, and it's very difficult to perform under those situations with screaming and shouting and throwing things and hitting each other and crashing about and letting off fireworks…”
It was a constant frustration for Waters who really just wanted to connect with the audience. Instead, he felt totally alienated from them. And imagined they felt the same way. So back to the show. Floyd was playing Olympic Stadium in Montreal. There were 80,000 people. And the show had not gone very well at all .
According to Waters, there was a guy in the front row who was shouting and screaming. He and some others were pushing against the barrier, trying to start a riot. And finally, Waters had just had it. And in disgust he spit on the guy. Guitarist David Gilmour had no idea that the concert had devastated Waters so much. At least not until later. "None of us, were aware of it at the time,” he said. “I just thought it was a great shame to end up a six-month tour with a rotten show.”
After the incident, Waters spent a lot of time brooding over the ills of fame and wondered how he had reached that point. And it was from this downcast state that he began to write one of the greatest rock operas in history... The Wall.
