That’s gotta make the folks proud.

Doubtless a Momentary Lapse of Reason.

That is if you can call being a “star’s son” an “advantage”. IE: see countless other examples of spoiled “star” children run afoul of the law.

Careful with that axe, Eugene.

When’s the last time a Conservative went on a ‘rampage’, damaged public property, incited riot, endangered private citizens, challenged authority, etc. ....???

Liberals do this kind of stuff all the f&^%ing time and we tolerate them like spoiled children.

He is, regretfully. Still, one damn fine guitarist, nevertheless.

I was just having that discussion with a neighbor last night. It seems to me that the better off the parents are financially, the more difficult it becomes to raise children. Not that it can’t be done, but it’s tougher.

I am much better off than my parents were financially. When I was a kid, I knew if I wanted anything beyond the basics, I had to work and find a way to obtain whatever it was. My kids have been more “fortunate”. The result is, I’ve spoiled them, and it’s taken them longer to mature, and the youngest is lazy as the day is long.

I can imagine the temptation to spoil, and the degree of difficulty for raising a child grows exponentially for someone with the wealth of David Gilmour.

[the invisib1e hand]

he's a repeat offender, isn't he?

Gotta be tough being David Gilmour's son.

[WayneS]

I’ve never heard/read David Gilmour make an overtly political statement of any kind.

Roger Waters, on the other hand...

Careful with that bin Charles . . .
