Pink Floyd are removing the later era of their catalog from digital music services in Russia and Belarus. "To stand with the world in strongly condemning Russia's invasion of Ukraine, the works of Pink Floyd, from 1987 onwards, and all of David Gilmour's solo recordings are being removed from all digital music providers in Russia and Belarus from today," the band tweeted Friday. The three affected Pink Floyd were released after the exit of co-founding bassist Roger Waters: 1987’s A Momentary Lapse of Reason, 1994’s The Division Bell and 2014’s The Endless River. Gilmour has released four solo records: 1978’s...

Taking to both Instagram and Twitter to share photos of their special day, Waters, 78, penned: 'I'm so happy, finally a keeper.' Kamilah looked beautiful in a white lace wedding dress and beamed as Waters slipped a ring onto her finger. Roger - whose net worth is said to be $310 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth - revealed in a 2018 interview that he met Kamilah a...

If you happen to be a Pink Floyd fan, there’s no doubt that you have enjoyed listening to their song, “Wish You Were Here” more times than you can imagine. It’s one of their songs that just gives you goosebumps every time you hear it, but we are about to take those goosebumps to the next level.

The resulting video is one you will want to bookmark and listen to over and over again....

Don't be afraid. This is what fear is doing. Fitting Pink Floyd in the background of this short video.

Roger Waters, a co-founder of the progressive rock band Pink Floyd, joins the chorus of people angry over Twitter's censorship. While 2020 has been a stressful year for many, one could argue it has been especially so for Jack Dorsey. The Twitter founder and CEO was dragged before Congress to testify not once but twice in the last month over its intolerant content moderation policies. "Who the hell elected you and put you in charge of what the media are allowed to report?" Senator Ted Cruz asked Dorsey after Twitter blocked a controversial New York Post story on Hunter Biden,...

Musician Roger Waters said in an Aug. 29 interview with Al Jazeera that he has never uttered any anti-Semitic statements in his entire life. Hoda Abdel-Hamid, Al Jazeera English’s senior international correspondent, asked Waters about those who call him anti-Semitic because of his support for the boycott, divestment and sanctions (BDS) movement. Waters said he joined the movement because Palestinians have been asking for “basic human rights.” He then added that he’s not anti-Semitic. “I’ve never done or spoken a single anti-Semitic word or act in my entire life, or had an anti-Semitic thought in my head in my entire...

Waters, the cofounder of Pink Floyd, said in an interview with the pro-Hamas Shehab News Agency that Floyd died in Minneapolis police custody last month because of "a technique invented by" the Israeli Defense Forces. "That is an Israeli technique, taught to the militarized police forces of the United States of America by Israeli experts, who the Americans have been flying over to the United States, to teach them how to murder the blacks because they've seen how efficient the Israelis have been at murdering Palestinians in the occupied territories using those techniques," Waters said. "And they're proud of it."

A musician Friend of mine posted this on FB saying how awesome the sound was..."It Rocks"... so being a hack musician myself I clicked in and could believe my eyes... I simply dont have the appropriate words...

ve read some heavy-duty attacks on Israel and Jews in my time, but they pale beside the anti-Semitic diatribe recently offered by Roger Waters, co-founder and former front man of the legendary British rock band Pink Floyd. In an interview with CounterPunch online magazine, Waters experienced a shocking Jew-hating colonic. According to Waters, Israel is a “racist apartheid regime” that practices “ethnic cleansing.” A great artist such as himself will not play in a country equivalent to “Vichy government in occupied France.” Likening Jews to Nazi collaborators was not enough. Waters then went further, comparing Israel to the Nazis themselves....

RUMSON - The borough man facing charges related to a Pink Floyd cover concert he performed on his front porch on Saturday had no intentions of having a so-called coronavirus party, but simply planned to hold a Facebook Live performance urging his audience to “stay at home,’’ his attorney said Monday.

Pins reminded me that last year’s 9/11 post was the last time we heard from notmysocks who sadly passed the next day. So for this week’s Throwback Thursday, and in keeping with this week’s spirit of “never forget” I’m reposting the MOTUS Twilight Nocturn Lounge sendoff we held in Sock’s honor nearly a year ago. We miss you, dear friend, along with Bunni, GreetingsFromYonkers, and JanicetheElder – as well as many others who are MIA. The Lounge is now open We’re gathered here this evening  to  provide our old friend, notmysocks, a proper MOTI sendoff to her just reward. So...

The minds of a lot of Dads, worldwide, must be boggling right about now. Not only is there a new record for the most expensive guitar ever sold at auction, it’s A. An item deeply connected to the legacy of Pink Floyd, and B. contributing almost $4 million to charity in the process. Regardless of your opinion of a media mogul like Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Isray, the guitar’s new owner, that is still one heck of an impressive figure. And David Gilmour’s legendary “Black Strat” wasn’t even the only item that Isray picked up at the Thursday auction from...

Roger Waters Stands with Nicolas Maduro, Praises Venezuela’s “Real Democracy” Pink Floyd bassist and singer Roger Waters has a very strange criterion for defining "real democracy"...which he claims exists in abundance in totalitarian Venezuela. Roger Waters has long been a supporter of far-left and socialist political causes (Twitter). Once again, the founder of Pink Floyd is standing on the side of totalitarianism; a position that no doubt is a result of his ideological prejudices and misconceptions. In the guise of “political activist” he is always on the same side: the wrong one. His visceral rejection of Israel and his childlike...

For the first time since the 2018-midterm elections, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and incoming House Speaker Nancy Pelosi met with President Trump at the White House Tuesday. Their meeting was originally supposed to be closed press, but that all changed when the White House press pool was invited into the Oval Office to broadcast their remarks. President Trump started the meeting by thanking Pelosi and Schumer for showing up and made his case for additional border security. "I am proud to shut down the government over border security," Trump said. "I will take the mantle." "They're pouring into our...

President Trump threatened Tuesday to have the military “build the remaining sections” of the U.S.-Mexico border wall, appearing to revive a call to use Pentagon money to finish the project ahead of a meeting with congressional Democratic leaders opposed to the president’s funding request. For their part, House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi and Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer put out a joint statement Monday arguing Trump and his party will own a government shutdown if they can’t strike a deal. “People do not yet realize how much of the Wall, including really effective renovation, has already been built. If the...

Last month, a Jewish organisation in Argentina launched a petition urging people across the region to boycott Roger Waters concerts and calling the former Pink Floyd leader "one of the great anti-Semites of our time". Three gigs by UK Pink Floyd Experience, a tribute band dedicated to covering the music of the British rockers, have been cancelled after former lead singer of Pink Floyd Roger Waters urged the musicians not to perform in Israel "in the name of everything human". In a message published on his Facebook page, Waters said, in particular, that he is "aghast to see" that UK...

Since the national exercise in child abuse known as public schools reopens next week, I've been thinking of this song. Just another Brick in the Wall

Pink Floyd founder, Roger Waters, a vocal advocate for boycotts of Israel, came under heavy criticism for promoting “Russian propaganda” after asserting that the rescue organization, White Helmets, that operates in Syria, were “fake” and encouraged terrorists, The Jerusalem Post reported Sunday. In a video posted by a group called Hands Off Syria, Waters spoke of an audience member who wanted to come up on stage and speak about the chemical weapons that had been used by the regime of Bashar al-Assad against civilians earlier this month in the Damascus suburb of Douma. “He is one voice, I personally think...

BARCELONA, Spain – Roger Waters, former frontman for Pink Floyd, denounced the White Helmets during a concert last Friday in Barcelona. He called the group who pose as a civilian rescue group as a “fake organization” that prompted propaganda for “jihadists and terrorists.” The former Pink Floyd frontman claimed that listening to “propaganda of the White Helmets and others we would be encouraged to encourage our governments to go and start dropping bombs on people in Syria.”What spouted the political driven comments was someone wanting to go on stage to talk about the alleged chemical attack in Syria’s Douma.“He is...

Laurie Cardoza-Moore, president of the Tennessee-based Proclaiming Justice to the Nations is calling on all Jews, Christians and people of conscience to protest Roger Waters’ concert this Sunday at the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville. Once known for his role in the British rock band Pink Floyd, Waters has become a global ambassador of the movement to Boycott, Divest and Sanction (BDS) the State of Israel. The British musician has paraded on stage in a mock Nazi uniform and hoisted an inflatable pig emblazoned with a Star of David above his stage in concert. This in addition to spreading lies about...
