It stayed on the Billboard 200 charts for 937 weeks. Roger Waters concept was for an album that dealt with things that \u201cmake people mad\u201d. The Dark Side of the Moon\u2019s themes include war, conflict, greed, the passage of time, death, and insanity, the latter inspired in part by former band member Syd Barrett\u2019s worsening mental state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The five tracks on each side reflect various stages of human life, beginning and ending with a heartbeat, exploring the nature of the human experience, and empathy. The themes of this album are timeless and are as germane today as they were forty-six years ago, if not more relevant. The country and world are awash in conflict, driven by the greed of evil men. Decent, law abiding, hard-working, critical thinking Americans see the world going insane as the passage of time leads towards the death of an American empire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Waters and Gilmour lyrics have always captured the falsity of the world, whether it be the music industry, the ruling elite, educational system, politicians, the military, or our own delusions that keep us from accepting the truth. Their cynicism about our world appeals to my natural inclination towards skepticism about mankind and those constituting the invisible government, controlling the levers of our society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2026click on the above link to read the rest of the article\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SEE YOU ON THE DARK SIDE OF THE MOON And if the cloud bursts thunder in your earYou shout and no one seems to hearAnd if the band you\u2019re in starts playing different tunesI\u2019ll see you on the dark side of the moon Brain Damage, Pink Floyd And if the dam breaks open many years [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2,6],"tags":[1253,28592,19811,12922,10061,23872,10845,27375,920,3299,27874,27873,7217,21946,27875,27876,28264,18696,199,205,22801,11275,248,24171,305,2803,8564,5856],"class_list":["post-49922","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-economics","category-liberty","tag-1253","tag-28592","tag-2008-financial-crash","tag-2016-election","tag-aldous-huxley","tag-brain-damage","tag-brave-new-world","tag-cia-coup","tag-civil-war","tag-communism","tag-corporate-fascism","tag-corporate-oligarchs","tag-corporate-profits","tag-corporate-stock-buybacks","tag-crooked-hillary","tag-dark-side-of-the-moon","tag-david-gilmour","tag-debt-to-gdp-ratio","tag-deep-state","tag-democrats","tag-deplorables","tag-eastasia","tag-edward-bernays","tag-fake-news-media","tag-federal-reserve","tag-free-market-capitalism","tag-jim-quinn","tag-the-burning-platform"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/olduvai.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/49922","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/olduvai.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/olduvai.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/olduvai.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/olduvai.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=49922"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/olduvai.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/49922\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":49923,"href":"https:\/\/olduvai.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/49922\/revisions\/49923"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/olduvai.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=49922"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/olduvai.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=49922"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/olduvai.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=49922"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
