Fungi said Waters has no brain . He obviously does . Like I said , I disagree with him on some of his views / stances and agree with him on others . He was against Brexit for example , I was for it . He says Taiwan is part of China and I agree . He’s been anti-war / pro nuclear disarmament since he was 15 . Can’t fault him for that . His father was killed in the battle of Anzio in WW2 .
Here's a guitar solo: https://youtu.be/l4jIbLYE3gQ?feature=shared
“ He says Taiwan is part of China and I agree.”
Britain said we were part of them in 1775. We disagreed. Who was right there?
“ He’s been anti-war / pro nuclear disarmament since he was 15.”
Everyone in their right mind js “anti-war”. The problem is some people aren’t. In 1939 the entire west was “anti-war”. The problem is was that Hitler; Mussolini, and Tojo weren’t. What then? Simply saying your against war is to show oneself to be a simplistic moral coward.
Same goes for nuclear disarmament. Let’s say one side does it but the other won’t. What then? That position completely disregards human nature.
He’s also a hateful rabid anti-Semite who marches around on stage in SS uniforms while calling it artistic freedom. He may be a talented musician, but he’s a moral monster.

This can only be solved by popular vote. I got $20 that says Gilmour takes it.
” The United States’ One-China policy was first stated in the Shanghai Communiqué of 1972: “the United States acknowledges that Chinese on either side of the Taiwan Strait maintain there is but one China and that Taiwan is a part of China.”
I woke up in the middle of the night and couldn’t get back to sleep so I got up and went online for half an hour before returning to bed so pardon the brevity , and also the simplistic “ anti-war “ comment . I can’t speak for Roger but I doubt he would say the US and its allies shouldn’t have fought the Axis powers in WW2 . He right on Ukraine in my opinion .
A a nuclear-weapons-free world at present is a vision, not immediately attainable obviously , and probably not achievable within the lifetimes of most living on the planet now , but certainly a goal for the entire world to strive for .
Waters “ SS uniform “ is a statement against fascism, injustice and bigotry. His father was killed by Nazis in WW2 . Just because the ADL and others of their ilk say he is an anti-semite doesn’t make it true . He says he isn’t as recently as 3 months ago on Piers Morgan’s show and I have no reason to doubt his sincerity . Just because he is pro-Palestinian doesn’t make him an anti-semite .
“Just because he is pro-Palestinian doesn’t make him an anti-semite.”
Actually it does. The “palestinians”, a huge fraud by the way, almost to a man desire nothing more than the complete destruction of Israel and the death or enslavement of every Jew living there. Even after Oct 7 over 90% of a Gazans agreed with the mass slaughter Hamas carried out.
Calling oneself “pro-palestinian” while claiming to not be anti-Semitic is a blatant lie. It’s one or the other.
Period.

Your assesment is probably correct. But we can’t know for certain. I can’t see into the future.
That doesn't work, very few people have refined musical tastes vs the overplayed songs like "money". /s
Thank you. That’ll be $20 please. :)
