*Sigh* Brushing aside the mainstream media is boring the hell out of me, it‘s such a lazy manoeuvre to give weight to arguments (which it just does not).
As an artist Waters can do what he wants, he can go on stage with a two hour pantomime show. I actually like to be challenged and surprised. Waters obviously doesn‘t want to be the guy that plays greatest hits with an orchestra and I applaud him for that.
The fact that he is preaching is known and at least now we know as an audience if that‘s something we want to see and pay for.
I definitely do not. Waters - to me - not only draws wrong conclusions from what he reads and hears. His backing of BDS alone would bug me and asking Ukraine to give in to the oppressor is a daring thing to ask. Imagine the US being attacked and then asked to give in to stop the bloodshed. That suddenly would sound far fetched.
On top of that Waters seems massively ill-informed about what‘s going on. He full of conviction calls the massacres in russian occupied territories „lies“, for example. If things like that is what alternative media tell you, well, that says a lot about these media. And that‘s one big reason to not give a thing about what Waters has to say about current events. If you agree with him you can have a great night out. And I will defend you for having the right to, there‘s no censorship here.
Roger Waters Live Last Night in Glendale,AZ
My first concert in a while. Last was Sia.
Roger has a message for his audience
that comes with the music. Somewhat off-putting
I must say. I went for music not politics. Not saying
I totally disagree with his. F-bombs galore. All our presidents
past and current are mass murderers. Could be a bit strong.
He is 79 and British. Has some fun stories. I can live without
the other messages though. Is this messaging common nowadays?
