The biggest asshole in the music business strikes again. Hes not even Pink Floyds best bass player.

Imagine paying $600 to go see him preform Dark Side of the Moon and you get 60 minutes out of 120 minutes of him reading emails! BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Perfect example of just shut up and play the music.

Not that I agree with the full Anti Defamation League agenda which is mostly woke pablum, here is some Roger Waters background:

In May 2023 concert in Berlin, Waters desecrated the memory of Holocaust victim Anne Frank, compared Israel to the Nazis and paraded around on stage wearing an SS Nazi uniform.
In an October 2022 webinar on Grayzone with anti-Israel activist Max Blumenthal, Waters vociferously advocated for comparing Israel to the Third Reich and called for Israel to “join the human race” and “stop imposing your hated, hated apartheid regime on the indigenous people of the Middle East.”

Maybe he hired Joe Biden's speech writer?

Syd Barrett makes more sense than Waters.

Stink on, you crazy unpolished turd . . .

I used to love music by Pink Floyd. I listened to their work all the time.

Back in 2004, I went to a Roger Waters concert. I was in a large group of 10-15 people, all good friends.

In retrospect, I should have seen what was coming, but...I didn’t.

It turned into a 3 hour political audiovisual tirade against conservatives and Israel, with some music mixed in. It looked like Code Pink put together the slide and video shows they had going on, showing the “injustices” against some ostensible muslims that played constantly.

I didn’t want to ruin the evening for the people I went with, but I was steaming mad. I grit my teeth and sat there. At the end of the “concert”, they released a 40 foot high ballon of a pig with “F*ck Bush” on one side and “Vote Democrat” on the other.

I have been unable to listen to any Pink Floyd music since then. It STILL pisses me off. (The “F*ck Bush” not so much in the intervening years.)

I should have known. I paid no attention to the political affiliations of artists for much of my life, but at that time, I just had not gone down that road. So that’s on me. But now I can rarely overlook it.

The biggest asshole in the music business strikes again.

Neil Young could certainly give him a run for that title.

Piss poor music 50 years ago, nothing changed except their ability to delude themselves now that they arent stoned.

Well, it is a B7 chord, which is pretty hard for beginners. :-)

Is that faux ‘shocked’ teenager really his child?
I can easily imagine it happening.
He only planned to show her this one fret arrangement, then one thing led to another, and....

However according to several disgruntled audience members, he spent an hour reading from his unpublished autobiography instead of singing and even told them to “f*** off” when they complained.

If you're still buying tickets to hear Roger Waters perform live in 2023, you should've expected this as part of the show.

People who worship musicians are the pure idiots of the planet.

I’ve been to a few concerts where something leftist has been dropped. Usually ruins the show for me. Nothing like this though. I would probably walk out these days but I’m no longer going to concerts much.

I LOVE that picture. It’s even funnier if you’ve seen them interacting in other places, like The Von Trapped family singers.
