My teacher told me I might as well shoot myself, says Pink Floyd star

Roger Waters was told to "shoot himself" by his schoolteacher as a child.

The Pink Floyd musician revealed his tutor confronted him in class as a youngster and told him he would never do anything valuable with his life because he was "useless".

He recalled: "I've had some measure of success," said the multi-platinum selling artist, "and there's no question that it provides one with something of a bulwark against T.E House who was the a**hole at my grammar school who told me I was a complete f**king idiot.
"He was an English teacher and he was my form master when I was 13.

"He said I would never become anything and might as well give up and shoot myself because I was useless.

"He liked tidy hand-writing and a*slickers and I had neither of those attributes, so we didn't get on at all."

(continued, unlike today's generation who are door-mats for the corporate machine and really are useless...in all senses.)

"I've had some measure of success."

Some small measure, yes.

I once told a student he was a waste of oxygen. That was in my year of being angry.

These days I'm mellow...
