Roger Waters
The Pros And Cons Of Hitch Hiking
CD
£8.99
The Pros and Cons of Hitch Hiking is the first solo studio album by Roger Waters, bassist/songwriter and co-founder of iconic rock band Pink Floyd; it was released in 1984. The concept was originally envisioned by Waters in 1977 and refined in the early 1980s.
In its completed form, it rotates around a man's scattered thoughts during his midlife crisis. These are explored on a dream journey during which he takes a road trip through California, commits adultery with a hitchhiker he picks up along the way, attempts to reconcile with his wife by moving to the wilderness, and finally ends up alone but with greater insight into a common human compassion. Along the way he also faces other fears and paranoia.
