David Gilmour weighs in succinctly;
Lip-synching? How low, Roger? How low?
I have paid for the same DSOTM so often in my life (vinyl, cassette, CD, another CD) … that I swore to myself that I will not pay anymore for this content.
(feel free to read into this what you like )
so, fair to say a PF reunion-tour is not in the cards for 2023 
That shit really, really pisses me off. We ask, hey, Israel, could you maybe not treat the Palestinian Arabs like vermin? and what do we get back but Arrgh, you anti-Semitic asshole, go fuck yourself!!!1!1!!
No, the non-Jewish people living there need to be treated like humans. People who object to the bugfuckery of the Israeli government do not ipso facto hate Jews, and it is aggravating that they would use anti-Semitism as cover for their own hatefulness. In that respect, David Gilmour is way off base here.
Or maybe he really is an anti-Semite. Unlike David Gilmour, you’ve never actually met the man.
The guy who flew a Magen David-adorned pig drone at his concerts is an anti-Semite? No! See my shocked face:
“”[I]n a functioning theocracy it is almost inevitable that the symbol of the religion becomes confused with the symbol of the state, in this case the State of Israel, a state that operates apartheid both within its own borders and also in the territories it has occupied and colonized since 1967," wrote Waters. “Like it or not, the Star of David represents Israel and its policies.”
So much for “conflating criticism of Israel with anti-Semitism”. Roger seems to be all in against them Evil Jews.
Heh, and that statement seems to say that he understands there’s a difference between the two, he’d just rather ignore it.
I find what you said to be very true and it amazes me that he can look down on western society and yet if someone in China wrote new lyrics to his music he would want his pound of flesh while screaming bloody murder! He’s really good at poking a stick in his own eye.
Waters addressed the UN Security Council today (at Russia’s invitation) to tell them that Ukraine provoked Russia into invading them.
I like this quote from that story:
“Yes, we couldn’t help ourselves”, Putin said. “Ukraine was wearing this slinky dress and fishnet stockings… They were practically begging us to invade!”
That’s the defense I’ve been seeing lately for the insurrection. “The police let us in!” “There wasn’t enough security!” “Pelosi should have called the national Guard!” Yes, you had so little free will, you just broke the law. “They were asking for it,” indeed!
I would’ve gone with “How sad for his former fans to see him exchange his walk-on part in the war for a lead role in a cage”.
Yeah, um … what? What does he want Zelenskiy to do, cave?
I mean, Waters does make a couple of valid points in his rantings. The war is indeed a massive cash cow for the MIC, which surely cannot be a net positive. And yes, the western media is indisputably a huge bullshit machine that is also feasting upon this kerfuffle.
And yet, the Russian media appears to be even a worse bullshit machine than that of the west. Both sides in this conflict are rife with wrongfulness, but it looks like George is taking up residence on the wronger side.
I would have said “…in the bottom of our hearts we felt the final cut.” Oh Roger, Roger, what did you do?
His autobiographical song starts
You’ve got to be crazy
You’ve got to have a real need
and ends much later with
Have a good cry
As you go down
All alone
Dragged down by the stone
it actually ends a while after that, but it is so long, one tends to lose track
Drown, not cry.
I have to admit, I’ve been wanting to listen to his solo stuff lately. I should quit reading this thread.
Roger, you’re nearly a laugh, but you’re really a cry.
I rather like the part where the piano lid breaks Andrew Lloyd Webber’s fingers.
