Waters doing the “stopped clock” thing. I’ve never agreed with him politically before. First time for everything, I guess.
I guess Waters isn’t going to be on George Soros’ Xmas list.
Another musician who thinks he has something of value to say.
Yes. Waters was born in 1943 and was too young to have remembered his father.
And his father,...

“Early Years”
“His father, the son of a coal miner and Labour Party activist, was a schoolteacher, a devout Christian, and a Communist Party member.[3]
In the early years of the Second World War, Waters’s father was a conscientious objector who drove an ambulance during the Blitz.[3] He later changed his stance on pacifism, joined the Territorial Army and was commissioned into the 8th Battalion, Royal Fusiliers as a Second Lieutenant on 11 September 1943.[4] He was killed five months later on 18 February 1944 at Aprilia, during the Battle of Anzio, when Roger was five months old.[5]”

He seems to be on the right side of this one. He must be taking a break from the weed.
Mother do you think they’ll drop the bomb.
Waters is living, breathing proof that idiotic people can create great music.
🔝🔝
No mention of extreme Russian nationalists.
He doesn’t want his education. He doesn’t want his thought control.
I expect an apology to drug addicts everywhere!
Roger Waters is a narcissistic a**hole.
