The Pros and Cons of Hitch Hiking is the first olo by oger Waters; it was released in 1984, the year before Waters announced his departure from ink Floyd. The album was certified gold in the United States.
 The concept was originally envisioned by Waters in 1977 and refined in the early 1980s. In its completed form, it rotates around a man's scattered thoughts during his idlife crisis. These are explored on a dream journey during which he takes a road trip through California, commits dultery with a hitchhiker he picks up along the way, attempts to reconcile with his wife by moving to the wilderness, and finally ends up alone but with greater insight into a common human compassion. Along the way he also faces other fears and paranoia. The entire story is framed in eal time as a fitful dream taking place in the early morning hours of 4:30:18 am to 5:12 am on an unspecified day. At the end of the dream, the man wakes up lonely and contrite and turns to his real wife for comfort, presumably having processed his crisis.
The album also features Eric Clapton on Guitar
