He and Brian Eno both. Poisonous.
Who knew I wasn’t allowed on the dark side of the moon?
The lunatic is in the hall.........
Artists best let their art speak for them. Musicians, artists, actors, whatever. Because art crosses boundaries that other forms of communication cannot.
But some folks aren’t content with that, and insist on becoming explicitly political. Art can’t survive that, and its almost always a mistake. They destroy the voice that they had and that they could have had.
In the case of Roger Waters, he is no David Gilmour. So no loss.
There will be no outrage. In liberal circles it’s OK to trash Israel.
Worthless POS.
his diatribe, however ill aimed (Jews are no more ‘greedy’ than Gentiles who have attained equal achievement... crazy, envy-laden liberals so often conflate success with sin), about conspicuous consumption (if that’s what it is) would be a bit more credible if he donated all his rock star dough to some helpful charity...
I'll bet that dipwad consumes more in a day than I do in a month. I'll bet his concert consumes more energy at one venue, than I consume all year. I'll bet he doesn't understand irony, as consumption is the only way that dipwad makes money.
He has hated Jews for years, IIRC.
Artists that vomit the politically correct mantras that are approved by the splc,adl, etc... are condemned here as leftist marxism. Now we have an artist that has a light shining on an inflatable pig which is actually a pre programmed gel shape in the majority of concert lighting effects and someone takes a picture of it just at the right time and now he is an anti semite. Nice....
Even if the statement was interpreted correctly, who cares. Is he having press conferences where he is calling for jews to be exterminated? No he isnt. Is he making anti jew statements? No he isnt, at least nit any more than jews make anti white statements. For what it is worth, Waters has recently spoken out against Greece’s Golden Dawn. This is the Greek nationalist party that is helping the indigeonous Greeks being discriminated by their own country. By stating Greece for Greeks, Golden Dawn is demonized as neo nazis. Waters has made derogatory comments about Golden Dawn so he obviously isnt right wing.
Waters is a tone-deaf (by his own admission), publicity-seeking whack job. Thank God Gilmour beat him in court for the name and for the music.
