No Holds Barred: Roger Waters' unnatural preoccupation with Jews
Jerusalem Post ^ | 11/05/2015 | SHMULEY BOTEACH

Posted on 11/06/2015 1:03:38 PM PST by Slings and Arrows

In a lengthy interview with Rolling Stone magazine this week, former Pink Floyd front man and Israel-hating obsessive Roger Waters demonstrated his all-consuming preoccupation with the Jews.

He speaks about watching Jewish Life Television late at night and reading about "old local Jewish ladies" who organize protests against him. Like most anti-Semites, he peddles central Jewish coordination theories, asserting that pro-Israel efforts, such as this very column, are organized by the prime minister of Israel's office. "Hasbara, the arm of the Prime Minister's Office that we all know starts with Netanyahu in Tel Aviv. It’s very organized, and I see it all over my Facebook page all the time. It's this hugely organized thing."

But for all his loathing of Israel, including flying pigs with Mogen Dovids on them as his concerts, comparing Israel to Nazi Germany and Israel's policies to the Holocaust, and publicly condemning far more successful performers such as Jon Bon Jovi for performing in Israel, Rogers insists he is not a Jew-hater. "It's not the Israeli people, not Jews, not Judaism. I would never dream of attacking them."

I think Syd had ‘natural’ so to speak, mental issues but unless I am mistaken, wasn’t he more an acid casualty? I remember stories about him combing crushed up qualudes or some other pill through his hair and other whacked out behavior.

I don’t remember if one exaggerated the other or if he was just pretty gone to begin with.

In these black lace stockings, and the hair on my chest.”

I think Alice is a man we can all look up to...regardless of our gender. There’s a little Alice in all of us. In some, there’s a little more than others.

From what I understand, you’re correct. LSD was the main culprit, along with tranquilizers.

Some speculate that he also had schizophrenia but I don’t know if that was true. Sad,

Re: “I’m 53, and I’ve NEVER understood the devotion, the fervor, the worship of Pink Floyd’s music.”

Agree.

I don’t think they were a bad band, but, in my opinion, they were not unusually talented, either.

“Comfortably Numb” is the only song I enjoy, and only after Roger Waters hired The Band and Van Morrison to help him perform it.

Just a bigotry update from that no-talent loser.

My post wasn’t serious. It was just an excuse to shoehorn in titles to Floyd songs.
