Former Pink Floyd front man Roger Waters, one of the more prominent celebrity faces of the boycott Israel movement, says he has contacted Scarlett Johansson “a couple of times” over the A-list actress’s decision to represent an Israeli company that operates in a West Bank settlement ... “In the past days I have written privately to Neil Young (once) and to Scarlett Johanson (a couple of times). Those letters will remain private,” he said. “Sadly, I have received no reply from either ..."

Hey Rog - Take that star of David off your inflatable pig and put an Obama logo on there instead. Or a hammer and sickle.
Hold on. Soda Stream is owned by Jews who make Israel-hating Waters mad???? I might just buy the product, then! Tell me OBAMA disapproves, I might just get two!
His brain is comfortably numb...
Personally, I think successful music groups should rotate their members. That is, regularly cycle in new, creative members as old ones move on to either mentoring, solo careers or new groups, or acting as management. It would provide the best of both worlds: continuity and new ideas.
Doing this, they could also invite in guest talent, like Santana has taken to doing. Another benefit is that their music can be richer, with the new ideas backed up by tried and true background additions.
Old hippie is a Nazi. Quell surprise.
Music was lousy and dumb for the most part as well.
Without the marijuana industry, he’d be a lot less wealthy.
Naw, just a creepy old coot. Probably looks like Jethro Tull's Aqualung.
Most insufferable album (and movie) of all time.
Except for some individual songs these guys were horrible.
Its the acid talking
Syd Barrett opted for a lead role in a cage...
Politics and religion aside, for the most part, I find Pink Floyd music extremely boring. I can think of dozens of bands I would prefer to listen to.
I saw this blowup about SodaStream last week and ordered one yesterday.
I walked out of a much anticipated Roger Waters / Pink Floyd concert in Shanghai in 2006. He showed his commie blood and it made mine boil - flying a giant inflatable pig covered in blood with George Bush printed on its ass. I stood up, flipped him off with both hands and walked out.
Took a cab to Xin Tian Di and had a nice Italian dinner at Va Bene - great selection of Pinot Grigios.
Good choice. :)
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
Hello, this is United States calling... are we reaching

She keeps hanging up.
n a post to his Facebook page on Saturday, Waters also wrote that he had contacted Neil Young, who is slated to perform in Israel in July.
*********** Neil Young to play in Israel. I will be watching to see if he actually does*************
“In the past days I have written privately to Neil Young (once) and to Scarlett Johanson (a couple of times). Those letters will remain private,” he said. “Sadly, I have received no reply from either. And so I write this note on my Facebook page somewhat in bewilderment. Neil? I shall ponder all of this long and hard. We don’t really know each other, but, you were always one of my heroes, I am confused.”
Waters is such an egotist that he let Gilmour have the name “Pink Floyd,” thinking that the continuance of the group was solely dependent on Waters.
That didn’t work out too well, huh Rog?
Wrote a letter to Neil Young? Waters is delusional.
Did he finally sue David Gilmour to have the band retired the name I think I hear that later
