Roger has kept it real.
I mean, he made hundreds of millions of dollars playing the same album over and over again for fifty years, but hey: it is a great album.
It’s not how I would have acted as a creative, and it is certainly sad for Roger that David Gilmour at the age of 78 just released an album that is better than everything Roger has done since the 1970s combined.
My point is: he’s against the Jews, and that’s what matters.

“Criminal lunatics” in the West want to bring about a future in which genocide is permitted, and it’s up to people who don’t agree with that to make a stand, Pink Floyd frontman and human rights activist Roger Waters has said.
The rock legend is well known for his support of the Palestinian cause and criticism of Israel and its supporters. The 81-year-old discussed the escalation of violence in the Middle East and revealed what gives him strength to keep campaigning during an interview on the program Going Underground.
”We are watching the machinations of possibly the end of an empire, the Western empire. The mask is off. We, the West, behave with unbearable brutality towards oppressed peoples all over the world,” he said. “We, the people, hate it. We hate the brutality of our governments.”

Waters mocked activists who cheered the fall of the Syrian government earlier this month. The government in Damascus never had a chance to make things better for the Syrian people because of Western sanctions and the partial military occupation of the country, he said. The US has effectively been “stealing” Syrian oil for a decade, Waters claimed.
The truth is, nearly half of Gilmour’s 2024 set was Pink Floyd songs.
Is that better than endless tours where you just play the same 1979 album over and over again? And even have to do the dress-up bit when you’re 80?
Yes, actually, it’s much better.
David is simply a better musician than Roger. He’s a better guitarist, he’s a better singer, and he’s a much better songwriter.
However, none of that really matters, because Roger will condemn the sickening filthy bloodsucking Jewish terrorists.
🚨ROGER WATERS: ‘ASSAD & SYRIA NEVER HAD A CHANCE’

What would be best is if David Gilmour went on stage and started calling for the total extermination of the Jewish race. Then, everyone would know for sure he is the best.
But look: the basic fact is that no man is going to have the same creative energy that he had in his early 20s and early 30s. For a lot of men, that creativity doesn’t take public form until their 40s and 50s, but for musicians who are in the studio recording, hustling for the record machine, they are going to produce their best music between 22 and 32. That is the age when you’ve still got that dog in you, but you’re not just totally obsessed with women like a teenager, and you’ve developed some kind of maturity. Well, millennials never really developed maturity, but hey – check out all those great millennial artists, huh?
Go listen to Greetings from Asbury Park. The Boss was 24 when that was released.
Everything he released after that got progressively worse. He ended up a disgusting public mess.
Steely Dan released 6 albums in 6 years, each of them a masterpiece, when Becker and Fagan were in their mid-to-late twenties.
This is why it is not a problem for rock stars to die young. They’ve usually given all they have by the time they kick the bucket.
If Kurt Cobain hadn’t died, he would be nearly 60. Do you think that if he had lived, he ever would have released anything on par with Nevermind?
What I’m trying to say is not that this new David Gilmour album is better than peak Floyd. It’s not. Very little music is at that level.
But Luck and Strange is a great album.
