Interesting about the right wing response to the concert. What can you expect? Most Rock musicians "know their place" and don't bring up sticky issues. It is much more fashionable to be the cliched "humanitarian" rock star like Geldof or Bono, who avoid challenging anyone big and scary like Israel or the United States. That's understandable of course. Rog on the other hand is QUITE daring in his latest concert.

I have read you before you edited....well, I really love that man. Clap
I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie. Music is revolution

Roger Waters’ new stage show has caused some controversy amongst his Jewish fans, who claim that some of the stage projections used during his nightly performances of “Goodbye Blue Sky” are antisemitic. The projections, which can be viewed here, consist of a series of symbols and logos that are dropped like bombs from airplanes, including dollar signs, Stars of David, crosses, Islam’s crescent moon, the Mercedes icon. Waters’ partner, Laurie Durning, rejected the claims of antisemitism, which are being spearheaded by the Anti-Defamation League. [Guardian.co.uk]


lol




Well, when you have an organization that depends on anti-semitism for it's very existence.........they are going to find it whether it's really there or not.  Ridiculous.  Waters responded to this on his Facebook page a while ago.
