    i dont like this guy interviewing. As they talked about the song Surrender, he kept focusing on Roger's experiences with domestic violence--like the A-hole was trying to get Rog to share his private life no one really has any business knowing. The song told the world enuf of Rog's knowledge on the subject.

    Just gotta love him. Love that wonderful dry witty sense of humor.
    So good to hear Rog live - too many times he just smiles and mutters something obtuse and hilarious under his breath. Domestic violence is pandemic across the globe it's not unique to any one country.
    I also love the way Roger doesn't tolerate fools. Love you Rog keep speaking up about lots of things that some want to keep hidden.

    • @kiahmadison8541
      @kiahmadison8541 2 роки тому

      Some of us who are survivors would rather not be reminded or want to talk about it. It's not dismissive or kept hidden. It's triggering for many people. That's why people don't want to talk about it to other s or publically. Even Roger doesn't talk about his own experiences much.

  • @AD-kv9kj
    @AD-kv9kj 7 років тому +113

    That opening question... Since when is it weird not to have a track titled the same as the album? He asked as if that's like a normal thing. Oh yea, remember those great Queen tracks, 'News of the World'.. 'A Night at the Opera'.. etc? No. Remember the classic Pink Floyd song 'Dark Side of the Moon'? NO.

    • @chenlung1
      @chenlung1 6 років тому +13

      Conveying such an anecdote was probably just a means of asking what the title is about.
      I think the interview is pretty good: the interviewer is well-prepared, and Roger's answers reflect this.

    Sometimes it can't be a thing of the past, why? Because people make sure they bring your past up and throw it in your face quite literally, and hours later it's playing through your mind over and over.it takes months years get over domestic violence but, I don't think you ever get over it especially when you've not been allowed talk about it, you think you've escaped it but it haunts you.

    Anyone who's been in the music biz as long as Roger, has certainly seen their share of domestic violence. It doesn't have to be his personal experience. There's so much of it in that business, I'm sure it's been in the lives of his friends and loved ones.

    Roger I can relate so much. My younger brothers and I would go to school with bruises, cuts, and black eyes. Occasionally a broken bone. It was obvious what was going on at home but back in the late 60’s thru 70’s nobody questioned anything. It was all considered a “family matter”. I tried to get us kids saved from the abuse. I was 15 at the time. I spoke up to a school counselor who called in someone from Family Services. I was told it was okay to tell everything. That it was just between us. By the time I walked home, my father and grandmother were called and told everything I had told them. I received my worst beating that day. I decided I was done. That night I ran away from home at age 15 and never went back. I eventually was able to get to Chicago to live with my mother.
    So I may not have experienced the exact same sort of abuse, but I definitely can relate. Virtual hugs!

    • @KathyW2200
      @KathyW2200 5 років тому +12

      Vida Mitchell Agreed it's odd within the obvious context. I think there's more to this. I've always wondered why John stopped talking to them. Not playing with them doesn't pair with not speaking to them at all. I feel for all of them, as they not only lost a friend (after watching him die for years, a horrific situation), but their jobs as well, really, as the group as they knew it ceased to exist.
