Yes, Rand Paul did quote a few lines from Pink Floyd’s “Wish You Were Here” during his speech at CPAC Friday. He also quoted a few other people in his well-received speech.

Rand Paul just quoted William Lloyd Garrison, Baron de Montesquieu, Madison, and Pink Floyd in a single CPAC speech.

But it was the Pink Floyd quote which really captured the attention of the audience and the reporters covering the event.

As soon as Roger Waters finds out, probably.

That would take a lot of weed, judging by the crowd size.
