The Ohio Governor spoke to CNN about his campaign today, and the interview concluded with Alisyn Camerota asking him about his favorite concert ever. “Pink Floyd’s The Wall,” Kasich replied. “Roger Waters is a remarkable artist. I saw The Wall in Pittsburgh; it was absolutely incredible. I don’t even have to think twice, it was the best. And if I’m president, I am going to once and for all try to reunite Pink Floyd to come together and play a couple songs. And since we have so much trouble in America with our finances, I’m going to start with a little song they created called ‘Money.'” Well, there ya have it!

A couple problems with his statements. First he did not see Pink Floyd's The Wall in Pittsburgh. Pink Floyd did not tour the wall in the US outside of NY and LA. He saw Roger Water's tour of it.

Second it would be a neat trick to reunite Pink Floyd since Rick Wright has been dead for seven years.

1. He's got my vote

2. So... will the GOP's Obamacare replacement...

include resurrection? Or will his election trigger the apocalypse?

[think]

3. Does he know Waters is a Sanders fan?

5. I have a strong feeling he doesn't know anything at all about Pink Floyd or its members.

He is just trying to sound "hep."

[think]

8. Well. He's kind of amusing...

[think]

10. Heck. He might even offer Pink a cigar.....

[Fuddnik]

14. He'' have to raise Rick Wright from the dead. Keyboard player.

4. John Kasick: "We don't need no education.....or unions".

[Erich Bloodaxe BSN]

26. He thought they were actually promoting lack of education. That's why he liked them so much.

He wants us all to be bricks in the wall, cogs in the machine.

[jmowreader]

6. Maybe they can play this song too

...or maybe this one...

[vadermike]

7. Ha

That's about the only thing that would make me happy about a kasuck presidency I would pay to see them too reunite Everything else and the country would be fucked tho so no it's probably not worth it lol!

9. Was third row at the Umaguma concert at the Filmore East

Any of you who care! Lost some hearing I believe (the gong).

[think]

11. 3rd row. Sweet. And wow!...

[flamingdem]

12. Thanks, I was just a small tyke

in Junior High, out rampaging around with friends on something kind of strong. Anyway, it was unforgettable I didn't forget it! I had to look cool and not stick my fingers in my ears even though we were next to a monster bank of speakers. That hurt!

[Fuddnik]

16. I was in the sixth row at the Old Allen Theater in Cleveland.

Set the controls for the heart of the sun.

[flamingdem]

17. Cool, how are your ears?

The gong made an impression on me. I think they had great visuals too but mostly I remember the big gong. And Careful with that ax Eugene.

[Warren DeMontague]

13. Comfortably Dumb.

[hifiguy]

21. DUzy!

[DJ13]

15. Does he think he can raise the dead?

Rick Wright (keyboard) died in 2008.

[Frank Cannon]

24. Maybe this is a death threat against the remaining three members.

I can't imagine he and Roger Waters have anything in common, politically.

[Fuddnik]

18. I remember driving to Pittsburgh for the Wish You Were Here tour.

Three Rivers Stadium.

[ArnoldLayne]

27. I was at that one also June of 1975.

19. Fa

20. In fairness he might have meant Roger's

anniversary "Wall" tour, which was a skull fucking, mind-roasting, totally incredible show. I saw it in St Paul.

But I doubt he'd care for Roger's lifelong democratic socialist politics. He seems more of a Bernie kind of guy.

[ArnoldLayne]

22. I saw Roger Waters The Wall Show in Pittsburgh

in 2012 and also in Columbus Ohio 2010

23. Pink Floyd?

25. Just like the Eagles, hell might freeze over before that happens!

[Kalidurga]

28. He just became my favorite Republican

Sure he is dumb as a box of rocks. And he has no plans worth talking about. But, his utter innocence about how the world is, well that is just precious. And he likes Pink Floyd.

[Tab]

29. Dumb ass

"Money" isn't even part of "The Wall" - it was part of "Dark Side of the Moon". Sheesh.

Miight I suggest "Pigs" from "Animals"?

Probably not "Wish you were Here".

"A momentary lapse of reason" might apply

And that's the extent of his presidential promises? God help us. I'm happy to have Pink Floyd back, but who is he to pull it off, and is that the most he can accomplish? If so, he should go for Don Kirschner's old job.

Politics are just getting ludicrous around here - particularly on the GOP side.

[ArnoldLayne]

30. I wonder if he even knows or heard of original Pink Floyd founding member Syd Barrett
