A few years ago when Trump was still in office my wife and I went to see Roger Waters in Tulsa, Oklahoma. We had 7th row seats that cost a few hundred apiece, but we had looked at getting seats in rows 1-3 but passed because they were $1,600.00 each.
Well come the night and Roger is putting on a fabulous show, but Jesus Christ he is laying into Trump hard the whole time with anti-trump videos running and pig drones flying around the room. It was awesome, you can find most of the show on YouTube if you're interested.
Well six or eight cowboys in the first row walked out of the show, flipping off Roger Waters as they did so, yelling MAGA shit and screaming about what a dumbass Waters is and how he should keep politics out of his music...
Everyone is laughing their asses off because God DAMN, have you never read the lyrics to Pink Floyd songs? I mean, what the holy fuck.
Here's an interview with Waters talking about the show
Today I learned that Roger Waters is absolutely based. Glad to see it!
He is ABSOLUTELY not based. Look into the garbage he says about Ukraine and Russia.
From the first article I found on the matter:
Yeah, either he got played or got paid, I think. But well, the people in media are not somehow godlike and not guaranteed to be correct always. If anything, that would be a cognitive bias to think so
I don't see anything wrong with what he said. He does condemn russias actions
Yeah, but trying to play off Putin as some kind of inevitable result of western media is horse shit. He's been anti-any-establishment for so long he's lost perspective.
Holy shit, who did they think they were going to see perform?
