Last night, Roger Waters participated in the Stand Up for Heroes concert at the Beacon Theatre in New York. Thankfully, the performances were all captured on video, and the live stream of the whole show is available to watch, on demand, over at Youtube, or you can watch it here:

In a new interview in Rolling Stone, Roger Waters has talked of his determination to finally finish a follow-up rock album to 1992's Amused To Death.

Roger told RS he has finished a song for an album tentatively titled Heartland. Completed on lunch breaks during The Wall tour that ended in July, the untitled song confronts what Waters calls "religious extremism". "I'm not sure what it will be called. I'll tell you what the first line is – I haven't told anyone else, and I may be sticking my head too far above the parapet – but the first line is, 'If I had been God...'"

"The Heartland idea sort of came from another song I wrote maybe 15 years ago, or longer even, which was a song that I wrote for a movie – a really, really bad movie called Michael that was about an angel," Waters said. "I'm absolutely determined to make another album. And I think this new song may give me the chance to do that. It provides a cornerstone and a core idea for me to write a new album about. You know, it's just one of my obsessions, which is, I'm sort of obsessed with the idea that religious extremism is a maligned factor in most of our lives."

Tomorrow night, as we reported last Friday, Roger will be performing at the Stand Up for Heroes benefit in New York, which will be streamed live on Youtube. Eight soldiers and three Marines will join him for three songs, including Wish You Were Here. "These guys are good", Waters said of his recruits. "I'm really proud to be working with them."

Finally, as visitors to our Facebook page would have seen yesterday, a new video released yesterday shows Roger paying a visit to Chef Eric Ripert's On the Table series to learn to cook langoustines. The discussion quickly turned to more worldly affairs, and Roger made no secret as to who he was routing for in yesterday's Presidential election in the US. You can see the full show here:

The annual London to Brighton Veteran Car Run took place today (Sunday, November 4th) one hundred and sixteen years since it was first run. Over 500 pre-1905 vehicles assembled at Hyde Park for the official sunrise start of 07:00am, for their journey from Hyde Park in London to Madeira Drive, Brighton. Taking place on public roads, it is a free rolling museum for spectators. With many drivers and passengers dressed in period costume, the event really does turn back the clock to the pioneering days of motoring. Many enthusiasts gather at various locations along the 60 mile route to support the drivers and passengers of these wonderful nostalgic vehicles.

This year the thousands of spectators who lined the route were also treated to the sight of some well-known faces – including TV adventurer Charley Boorman, Coronation Street actor Tony Hirst, former Formula One drivers Jochen Mass and Sir Stirling Moss OBE, and Pink Floyd's Nick Mason, taking part for his 19th time in this event.

The weather gods showed no respect to either man or machine, and gave it their best shot to make the conditions as miserable as they could. From early morning, in London, Brighton, and every point between, there was a biting cold wind, along with rain, hail and even sleet falling from leaden skies. The roads that the cars struggled along were flooded in various places - some, apparently, to the depth of two feet, forcing some vehicles onto pavements to negotiate through the wetter parts.

Thankfully, by the time that the first fifteen or so cars had arrived in Brighton (much later than previous years, due to the bad weather) the conditions started to brighten, with the rainclouds clearing giving blue skies and sunshine for the completely sodden and frozen drivers and their passengers.
