I must be missing something. Why does this nave new relevance now?
Okay, so one member of the band is a nutcase racist.
What about the music? Anything anti-Semetic in the music?
The writer doesn’t seem to understand that Roger Waters is NOT Pink Floyd. He left the band in 1980 I believe. I can’t think of any PF lyrics that were anti-Israel.
My wife still loves Pink Floyd but I don’t listen to them anymore. If they come on the radio I change the channel. Both Roger Waters (militantly) and David Gilmour (casually) espouse the most rabid, old school Jew hatred. Oh, it’s focused on Israel but it’s just the same old crap.
If Roger Waters was a Conservative, the Political Left would have destroyed his reputation and his livelihood.
The “relevance” of people like Waters never grows old.
Four months ago, 32% of the United Kingdom voted for the Labour Party, which was led by Jeremy Corbyn, a man who was openly anti-Semitic.
As a lifelong friend of the Jewish people and the nation of Israel, my advice is to ALWAYS pay very close attention to the people who hate you.
Rabbi, to be anti-Israel it is sufficient but not necessary to be anti-Semitic. Don’t play the equivalent of the race card.
Chaim Witz (Gene Simmons) could punch his lights out.
Interesting. Of course, I’ve known this for a while and while I find Waters and Gilmore reprehensible, I still listen to PF, the best stuff being from before Dark Side. I can also listen to Brian Eno although he is another MoonBat.
On the other hand, no more Ronstadt or Springsteen. Including one of my favorite combinations, the three albums of Ronstadt and the Nelson Riddle Orchestra. No more !
oh man...
Misleading headline, Waters was no longer in PF and therefore the headline misleads readers.
