I walked out of a U2 concert after the third song for same reason. I like the music and thought I was paying to hear and see a “music show” not a political lecture from a rich activist. I think this all stems from their marketing firms they hire. They convince them that they need to be controversial to remain relevant and attract new fringe fans. Doing right for people in an Anonymous way no longer happens. They need to have their ego stroked and praise heaped on them for the cause they pick. Truth be they have the money to help make the change but the want to project on to everyone else as they rake in millions and live a life style out of reach for all of us. This is the current time we live in where every “celebrity” is being marketed by activists and no longer let their music do the talking but use their status to talk down or at people instead of talking to them! I can even say that as much as I like their music I will no longer listen to or support them for who they have become! There is so much great music out there to enjoy without the bs and the lecture I have moved on from them to never look back!
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?
