Waters is an Israel-hater and an all-around douche, but kudos to him for this.

And yet Rog still was open enough to ask the price offerred.

>>Waters read aloud some of Zuckerberg’s letter: “We want to thank you for considering this project.”

Zuckerberg will just buy their catalog rights when they need to settle the estate.

I thought that anti-American POS Waters was dead. Hmm. I guess I was wrong.

Waters is an asshat. But it’s fun to watch one asshat rebuff another.

Instead of being childish, I wish Waters responded with a more sober and detailed list of why he cannot collaborate with Facebook, which I believe would have been much more meaningful and effective in exposing how bad a company they really are.

I like when 2 liberal people I dislike get in a cat fight.
Too bad they don’t like guns because then at least I would not have to listen to one of them after the fight is over

I think Waters must have done way too many mind-damaging drugs...I just can’t understand the basis of anti-semetism. ...other than, perhaps, jealousy.

From one of the world’s biggest pricks to another of the world’s biggest pricks. Gotta give Waters an attaboy on this one, though.

Ian McLagan called out Facebook/Zuckerberg YEARS ago and it wasn’t considered newsworthy:

Ian McLagan
Dear Mr Zuckerberg, Before there was Facebook, before there was a band called Faces, and a band called Small Faces, there was the word ‘face’, and you can’t patent an English word

Ian McLagan
At 6pm this Thursday, May 31st, the Bump Band will rock the Lucky Lounge! Verily. It has been stated, therefore it is a fact! And Facebook absolutely sucks! Also an undeniable fact.

The only thing leftists hate more than conservatives are other competing leftists.

Water then called Zuckerberg a "little prick" who became "one of the most powerful idiots in the world."
