HemiBeers Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 Roger was whining to his audience at a recent concert that his CNN interview was cut up to make him 'look like a prick'. Well Roger, when you look at yourself in the mirror and think you're a prick, maybe you are one. The next move in this chess game was CNN releasing the uncut interview. Your move you washed up old prick. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JARG Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 I saw him several years ago when he toured The Wall. Amazing show. Gonna' see him again in Sept. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Principled Man Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 He’s a brilliant artist and musician. One of the greatest songwriters in rock & roll. BUT…..(there’s always a “but”, isn’t there?)……like many hugely famous entertainers, he let his ego get the best of him. He’s certainly entitled to his opinions on politics and global issues, but he’s not necessarily right about everything. Hubris always makes you think that you’re right about everything. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J2112YYZ Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 (edited) If I knew nothing about him, I could tell from seeing a picture of him that he does in fact look like a prick. It's not CNN doing it. Edited August 13, 2022 by J2112YYZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbine Freight Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 He does have form too. Got into a lot of hot water a few years back with his take on the Falklands war. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Entre_Perpetuo Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 All I can say is that recently I've been less inclined to go see his show than I would have been before. Frankly, living in these times and living in DC, I'd rather go see a show that isn't related to what's going on in the socio-political spheres right now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Entre_Perpetuo Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 Just read an article about an open letter he addressed to the first lady of Ukraine... it was not nice... Honestly, I think he's really lost the plot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goose Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 From Vanity Fair... "Earlier this month, Waters, who regularly leads audiences in the refrain “we don’t need no education,” fired off an open letter to Ukrainian First Lady Olena Zelenska after she appeared in a BBC interview and urged continued support for her country. Waters wrote to condemn “the West continuing to supply arms to the Kiev government’s armies,” suggesting that those who do so “have already declared an interest in the war going on for as long as possible.” He then added a list of action items she should pass on to her husband (why he’s not kvetching to him directly, I couldn’t tell you) and pinned the war's blame on President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's refusal to accept a policy of appeasement toward Vladimir Putin. “The extreme nationalists,” he wrote, “have set your country on the path to this disastrous war.” https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.vanityfair.com/style/2022/09/roger-waters-ditches-polish-gig-following-controversial-statements-about-ukraine/amp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

custom55 Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 Roger hit every politician this tour ( trump, Obama, Bush, Clinton, etc. ) so it wasn't one sided. It was a great show BUT I thought the 2017 tour was musically better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexMike Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 Watching clips of Roger's current tour, the video screens are impressive, but I'd be annoyed by all the typed text. Last thing I want at a rock show is to have to read so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
