      Meanwhile Roger Waters is still seething with jealousy and attacking Gilmour and his family via his CZcams channel. That latest rant he posted the other day was just cringe-worthy and almost, ironically, on par with Donald Trump's infantile, egotistic whinging rants.

Oh, to find a love like that!! You just know they are so crazy mad for each other. And to be able to work together in such a perfectly amazing way. Just icing on the cake. I kinda wish she would write a book about their love story. I know it's a private thing, but to me it's a classic story. Thank you, Joanne Wilder, for sharing this interview.

      Fame, drugs, womanizing and Gingers newfound spirituality is why David walked out on his four children and beautiful wife. Ginger is a beautiful person inside and out. On a family vacation to Hawaii the beauty of the Hawaiian Islands awoken something in Ginger. David couldn’t relate to the ‘new Ginger’. Ginger was on a path towards creating beauty. David no likey the path Ginger was on. Ginger was on her own raising four children.

    This is a beautiful woman who who quietly held her tongue and observed Roger Waters and her husband's confrontations with him for 30 years.

I guess what I'm trying to say is I can be certain every word she has spoken about Roger Waters is 100% true.
