Like other band members have done consistently over the years, Waters denied that Pink Floyd intentionally structured its 1973 album to align with the 1939 film.
Some coincidences are lyrical, as when Dorothy runs away from home at the line “No one told you when to run.” Some are tonal, as when the tornado sequence seems practically choreographed to Clare Torry’s wordless vocals in “The Great Gig in the Sky” - rising to a frenzy as the twister rolls in and then shifting to dreaminess just as Dorothy is knocked unconscious. This phenomenon is sometimes called “The Dark Side of the Rainbow”: If you start the album at just the right time, the music and lyrics uncannily align with the movie’s visuals. He said he had to ask Waters - the former lead lyricist, bassist and co-lead vocalist for Pink Floyd - about the synchronicity that arises from watching “The Wizard of Oz” while listening to “The Dark Side of the Moon.” These are typically rambling affairs, guided by the host’s idiosyncratic curiosities, and about halfway through, following a riff by Waters about nuclear weapons, foreign languages and Noam Chomsky, Rogan changed the subject. Last October, when Roger Waters brought his “This Is Not a Drill” tour through Austin, Texas, he also took the time to record a nearly three-hour appearance on “The Joe Rogan Experience” podcast.
