Dear Michael,
I met a man in a bar who was claiming to be Roger Waters of Pink Floyd. He signed autographs and spoke to people over the phone. I got him to sign a CD insert and initial my album of The Wall (he wouldn't sign his name). The album is not with me at the moment, but he initialed it _RWaters. I can't remember what the first letter was. It might have been a C or an S. I have never seen a recent photo of Roger Waters, only the pictures from the 70's and early 80's.
Do you have any recent photos I could view? Do you know if he was in Las Vegas, Nevada on Monday, April 5 or Tuesday, April 6? Is his middle name Roger?
Everyone in the bar believed it was him on Monday. On Tuesday, there was two person who said it didn't look like him. I was hoping you could help me out. I would really like to know if I spent time talking with one of the greatest musicians of all time and actually have two authentic autographs.
Thank You,
Darin Hampton
Michael,
My name is Scott Harrison and I live here in Las Vegas, NV. One of my friends met Roger Waters here at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino this past Saturday, and I believe Roger was in town to see Pavarotti in-concert.
Thanks
Scott

I live in Fabulous Las Vegas, NV. My friends and I visited a local bar, an English pub, called The Crown and Anchor. Our waitress comes up to us, takes our order and asks us, "Hey, you know who that is over there?" She points to a guy in a black sweater and white turtleneck and he appears to be in his late 40's. My friend and I reply, "No." She says, "Well, you know who Pink Floyd is? That's Roger Waters, the lead singer."
Since we are both fans, my friend and I look over. We both agree that it doesn't look like any pics of Waters that we've seen. A few minutes later, she comes back and says he autographed a book of matches and drew a picture of a wall. Signed Roger Waters.
I eventually head to the restroom. In said restroom, there's a drawing of the wall on a chalk board above the urinals, and an English kid is drawing a happy face on it. I laughed and asked him if that was Roger Waters out there, to which he said "Yeah."
Just then, in walks Roger Waters. He heads to the urinal. I asked him if he was him, he said, yes. I was not sure it was him, so I began questioning him. "What are you working on?" I asked. "Nothing,Ó he replied, ÒI don't need to work, I've made enough money,". "So you are not working on an opera?" "No. The British press likes to spread rumors."
Persistently, I asked, "So your official website is wrong about a planned opera?" "I still write, I'm just not performing. And there is no official website" With that, we exited the bathroom. I thanked him for his time and told him I enjoyed his work and look forward to his next release. He thanked me and we parted ways.
I returned to my friends and the alleged Roger Waters soon left with an attractive blonde on his arm.
So ends the evening. I wanted to pass this on to you to see if you may know if this may have in fact been RW, or if it was some clown tring to impress babes. Good site you have here. I hope to hear from you.
Regards,
Pat Wahlquist

Michael, When Roger Waters hears about this I wonder if he will be upset and angry. I know I would be. However, he may be flattered. After all, Elvis wasnÕt impersonated till well after he was dead. Now that Roger is touring again, perhaps weÕre in for a series of Waters impersonation sightings. Perhaps there will be one near you in your home town too. Editor |
