  1. Disappointed with this content DDN. I've no objection to his stance on Palestine, but Its quite possible that people are so ready to misinterpret Roger Water's work at this time because of the various ill informed, rambling speeches that he has made on other subjcts in recent years. He has defended Russian agression in Ukraine, he has defended the CCP, he has spread various conspiracy theories about COVID and usually has very little statistical evidence or data to back any of it up. He is not bothered about evidence, he prefers invective, and swearing! He belittles people who don't agree with his perspective and usually insults them rather than debating with them. He presents his case in such a rambling, haphazard way, its often quite difficult to follow the logic or divorce it from all the ad hominem attacks. His grandiose statements about how he has been 'cancelled' because he is an existential threat to Isreal seems narcissistic, egotistical and frankly highly unlikely. It doesn't help the cause. In fact, in relation to the state brutality of Israel, I think his raging speeches alienate sensible people from the issue, rather than bringing people over to the right side of the debate. He does more harm than good with all his shouting and swearing. It doesn't make his argument stronger. And by the way, what reading exactly should we all do Roger? No doubt all the same books as him I suppose, and not the ones that counter his arguments because they must automatically be 'propaganda' and lies. He may well dismiss the mainstream media, but come on Roger, anyone with a world tour, huge record sales and an international platform is pretty mainstream too, surely? I know his fans will probably disagree with me, but I think he should stick to playing the bass and leave the political speeches to people who are not self-entitled, multi-millionaire meglomaniacs. And also apparently probably half drunk? People who are better at presenting their argument and better at debating with others rather than shouting at them and calling them rude names. And by the way Roger you did not write 'Dark Side of the Moon' and 'Wish You Were Here' they were a collaborative effort with Dave Gilmore, Rick Wright. Even Nick Mason contributed towards some of it. I always preferred the Syd Barett stuff anyway. And Dave Gilmore was a much better singer by the way.
