Original Title: TIL the 1979 Pink Floyd album “The Wall” was inspired by an altercation in Montreal in which Roger Waters spat at a rowdy group of fans near the stage. He was shocked at his own behavior and how fame had changed him, and he began speaking of building a wall between the band and the audience.
