Roger Waters thinks "Us and Them" is the most profound political statement ever put into music.

There are very few musicians whose political opinions carry any weight with me, Waters is definitely not on that list. People need to stop relying on celebrities for guidance.

Yes, nothing worse than a geriatric edge lord with an audience, I suppose Ted Nugent and Waters cancel each other out philosophically

I keep reading the thread title as "Roger Waters Pink Eye Drama"

I dont know why. Nor do I care.

Yeah, this is more or less where I land too.

You can point out the flaws in the so called Black Book of Communism while not justifying the other atrocities.

Glad I saw him about 20 years ago before he went complete nutbar. Even back then he was on the edge, great musician but a political extremist. I wouldn't even go to one of his shows anymore.

Oh ya? If you are in complete agreement with an extreme position at least get the spelling of the parties.
