Somehow, Roger Waters has gotten away with saying he’s “just against Israel,” when he actually very obviously hates all Jews the same as anyone else does.
RT:
Denouncing Facebook’s “insidious” operating practices, iconic Pink Floyd rocker Roger Waters did not mince words in rejecting the social media giant’s request to use his song ‘Another Brick in the Wall (Part 2)’ in an ad campaign.
At a public forum event in support of imprisoned WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange in New York last week, Waters held up a sheet of paper and claimed that Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg offered him “a huge amount of money” for permission to use his classic 1979 protest ballad against conformity.
“So it’s a missive from Mark Zuckerberg to me… with an offer of a huge, huge amount of money and the answer is, ‘f**k you! No f**king way!’,” Waters said, drawing applause from the crowd.
The mail attributed to Zuckerberg apparently said the song would be used “in the making for a film to promote Instagram.”
The 77-year-old rock legend said he only brought up the letter – which noted that the “timeless” song’s “core sentiment” was still “prevalent and necessary today” – since it was a demonstration of the tech giant’s “insidious movement… to take over absolutely everything.”
“So those of us who do have any power, and I do have a little bit – in terms of control of the publishing of my songs, I do anyway. So I will not be a party to this bull***t, Zuckerberg,” Waters said.
It is pretty awesome to defend your songs like this.
When I was a little kid, Bob Seger’s “Like a Rock” was featured in Chevy commercials.
In my mid twenties, I discovered the brilliance of Bob Seger. But that song will always be “the annoying commercial song” in my head. Selling out like this is a horrible, shameful thing for an artist to do.
Franky, I’m glad Waters stops any ad from using that song, because we’ve all heard it too many times.
I like Waters because he hates the Jews and tries to stop them, but honestly, he is not Pink Floyd. He is nothing without Pink Floyd, but Pink Floyd does fine without him.
I’m #TeamGilmour, quite frankly.
I was 34 years old when I finally “got” The Division Bell.
But you can’t un-get it.
Now – QUICK – name one Roger Waters solo album!
I’m not trying to insult Waters or The Wall. I love The Wall. But there’s a reason that he’s pushing 80 and still playing the same single album live. He never had the versatility or the real creative drive of David Gilmour.
However, I will say that “Wish You Were Here” is quite possibly the greatest song of all time, and one of the greatest albums of all time. And clearly, there is no way Gilmour could have recorded that by himself.
