Yeah i got that, Roger's face looks so funny on it.

For anyone wondering, this is the dialogue to it:

Meanwhile Roger Waters is checking out the net

Roger: What's this? If you play dark side of the moon and the wizard of oz at the same time there's an uncanny similarity! We'll see about that!

Clips from the film:

Characters walking down path: Folow the yellow brick road all the way to the money it's a gas

Witch: I'll get you, my pretty, and you're great gig in the sky to!

Dorothy (if that's her name) (looking at elves in the grass): Ooh look! The lunatic's are in the grass.

Roger: Oh my god it's true! We did a concept album about the wizard of oz! Noooooooo.

(Roger now wakes up on a hospital bed, like the girl in the film. Dorothy or something.)

Old lady: Relax Roger, you were just having a bad dream...

Roger: Oh thank god! Then we didn't split up and spend years suing eachother?

Old lady: No, that bit was real.

Of course it won't be very funny to you, just try and visualise a cartoon of roger and a bunch of strange characters.

That is funny! Anyone got a scan?

BTW, David, you seemed unsure about the characters in The Wizard of Oz. Is this because you're in the UK? I heard that Roger said he never saw TWOZ either. Your unfamiliarity with it proves his claim (which I believe) that he never saw it, hence never had anything to do with the synch thing (which I think is a rather silly thing anyway...practically anything can be synched with anything IMHO).

Here in the States, we have TWOZ genetically imprinted on our DNA when we are born.

I think the majority of people in the UK have watched the wizard of oz at least once. It is not embedded like Shakespear though!!!

Romeo Romeo!!!

The current issue out in the UK (David Coverdale/Whitesnake cover) has a what if/alternative reality piece on a failed lunar reunion concert for the 30th anniversary of DSOM

Seemed to be on every Easter (or some other big holliday) during my 80s childhood - if they weren't showing the sound of music/mary poppins.

Hmm... Oz... Probably a good film to trip to... OK, bit clichéd.

I've seen it once, but that was years ago. Honestly, i only remember the name Dorothy and that's it, and i only know that 'cause it's the name of my next door neighbour.

I was raised on Alice In Wonderland instead.

Yikes...what a terrible caricature job. The only one that even *closely* resembled himself was Nick.

Simply terrible. Funny concept though...too bad they couldn't get a better artist.

Thanks for the link and for scanning it, rollinder!

I thought it was a brilliant picture of Roger considering the space they had, what does everyone else tnink?
