I heard he’s a racist and homophobe too. 🤡
The BDS crowd takes one in the chops.
He thinks the Jews killed his father.
Roger Waters has been nuts since “The Final Cut”
That’s when he went nuts? Not when he made a Nazi musical?
“alleged”?
He’s an a-hole
“If you want to know who rules over you, just look for who you are not allowed to criticize.”
I’m sure if he had said bad things about Catholics, Lutherans, or white people in general he would have been allowed to perform, and any criticism would have been met with a shower of “it’s free speech” and “freedom of expression”.
Well, in fairness, he hasn’t taken the PCR test for anti-Semitism yet. But he did have a giant, inflatable pig with a Star of David at one of his concerts, so...
I think he’s proud of it.
Yes, what he’s saying is free speech, but it doesn’t mean we have to applaud it, or give him a venue to spout it. Germany does have some illiberal laws.
The cancellation announcement cited Waters’
* boycott of Israel
* his comparisons of Israel to apartheid South Africa
* his declaration of his ties with the Islamist militant group Hamas
* his use of a pig-shaped balloon adorned with a Star of David on previous tours.
Sheesh... That’s quite a list he’s racked up there.
But I think we are losing sight of the fact that the music is awful.
I don’t even like his music but if you’re going to cancel concerts because the band is offensive than there won’t be any more rock and/or rap shows (which is fine by me , but lots of people seem to enjoy them)
How cruel!
“the music is awful.”
I heard one of his songs on the Deep Tracks the other day and it wasn’t bad. He’s definitely not pink floyd but he’s got some pretty good producers. If he wasn’t such a jerk he probably would have more success. It’s a shame he’s so twisted, it would be nice to see his talent provisioned to something better than jewbashing and americahating.
His views on Israel have been known for years.
This is about his stance on Ukraine.
While I dislike Roger’s politics I am generally against this sort of thing due to the artist’s politics. Of course Germany is a bit of a different situation due to their past.
