I guess one can go so far left they become tankie. Waters is at least miscalibrated on this one.

I prefer early Floyd. Anything after Meddle and Animals went far too commercial.

He should stick to what he knows about best, which is rock/pop music. Music is neutral…it takes no sides, therefore can be a unifier of people of all allegiances and political views.

Just like I will not listen to Kid Rock or Ted Nugent, Pink Floyd is off my playlist as well.

@barjoe Our prerogative …yours and mine. I personally have gone right off Van Morrison!

@Marionville I am not aware of any controversy involving him. Enlighten me.

@barjoe It’s a local controversy..he’s from Belfast as you probably know and he objected to the lockdown we had due to the pandemic…whining and whinging and writing songs was bad enough, but he - aided and abetted by local DUP MP Ian Paisley Junr…called our Health Minister Robin Swann names and ridiculed him publicly at a televised event and later on social media . Mr Swann and his family had death threats afterwards.

@Marionville Oh he's an Ulster guy and antivaxxer? Swann seems to have been facing much the hate that Dr Fauci had in USA. Eric Clapton is an ultra right winger and antivaxxers as well. That is disappointing.

@barjoe As in the Sesame Street song, of of these things is not like the others.

@Scott321 Similar. These things are similar.

@barjoe You can have Neil Young

Roger is against war and mistreatment, in general, but has a habit of calling out the wrong side. I'm sorry to read he's done it again. But that's his right and Roger's music is still great. David Gilmour had something to do with that, however. His message starts @5:55

Revealing to say the least ... thanks for the info

Oh Fuck them

@rainmanjr
Yeah I’m not about to boycott Pink Floyd over something an ex-member does. Waters was an integral part of their early and best music.

@Scott321 I certainly won't buy any of their music. That goes for Clapton as well. Both were amongst my favorite artists. Cat Stevens is another of my all time favorites who supports international terrorism and called for the death of Salman Rushdie. Yusef Islam. Fuck him too.

@barjoe Here's another great interview, a day after the one I shared with Smerconish, where Roger expands on his ideas. I agree with his humanity and intentions but disagree with details that determine his allegiances. He isn't ignorant of politics, however, and does make some very good points. I'm not a big Clapton fan for many reasons and I certainly disagree with Yusef's view on Salman. I haven't listened to new Cat Stevens music so can't review it but you know how I feel about religious people in general. I've changed my view of a number of early Rock music because of religious meanings.

@rainmanjr Roger Waters has no idea what he's talking about. This video is bullshit. I feel even worse about him now.

@barjoe He appreciates your attentions and determinations. I've watched the Not A Drill concert on YT so not going too see him live but the concert is very good. We all have a right to our opinions aside from our talents.

@rainmanjr As do I. You do you. This guy is a fraud.

Too bad Waters didn't stick to the same principles like his defense of Ecuadorean native civil rights against Chevron. His fliip-flop does not seem logical to me. Maybe someone can explain it to me.

Too much coke in the 70's and 80's?
