or is it just me

A Britian speaking with an American accent. Will, he's pulling our tail.

Listen to Perfect Sense. That "Baseball park" type commentator babbling about the attack on the ship is definitely Waters, although with a very, very stereotypical American accent. He actually does it very well; it took me a moment or two to figure out that it was him talking.

That's Roger!? Woah. I didn't know he was still able to do that amazing voice-change thing after his vocal cords suddenly retuned themselves sometime in late '86. (And he's NEVER done an accent like that before.)

hmmmm... from the Amused to Death booklet on Perfect Sense:

Sportscaster - Marv Albert (the voice of the NBA)
2nd Sportscaster - Patrick Leonard

no Rog there

Roger hasnt got the longs or vocal chords to make those noises on that album as the post above proves!!

Marv Albert's voice is pretty darn recognizeable and I don't hear any Roger Waters in his voice.

Americans had English accents back in the 1700's
