Before our feature presentation, ACME would like to start the evening with the 1958 Wile E. Coyote and The Road Runner Looney Tunes cartoon, Hip Hip Hurry:
Due to a musicians' strike, this is one of six Warner Brothers cartoons featuring a non-thematic stock soundtrack, scored by John Seely of Capitol Records using stock music from the Hi-Q sound library.
Today on the ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour, we are commemorating the start of Roger Waters' first solo tour in support of his album, The Pros and Cons of Hitch Hiking at the Isstadion in Stockholm, Sweden on June 9, 1984. Among the stars featured in the tour was Eric Clapton as Waters’ guitarist . Today we are listening to the album he was supporting, The Pros and Cons of Hitch Hiking.
Roger Waters began work on the concept and songs for the album in the late 1970's and it was only after Pink Floyd disbanded that he refined the lyrics and music. Pros and Cons became his first "Solo" album without the other Pink Floyd members as backup studio musicians.
Demand Euphoria!
