Rather confirms my view that Waters is either a prize pillock or mentally not quite there.

Certainly not a good thing for him. Everyone is entitle to his opinions, but sometimes, is obvious you are a little (or a lot) out of your mind.

He's absolutely lost the plot. The Roger Waters that wrote Animals is gone.
Porg for short. My love of music doesn't end with prog! Feel free to discuss all sorts of music with me. Odds are I'll give it a chance if I haven't already! :)

Before judging, please listen to his interview to CNN. Not so out of his mind.

Not sure if he is "mentally not quite there" and I don't know what a "pillock" is, although probably not nice LOL.....but I am beyond done with his political stances on the world.

A pillock is a person who is a thickie. Stupid. As thick as a brick.

He's just normal folk, expressing his beliefs, albeit in an ill-advised manner. I'm surprised Mr. Waters hasn't had a photo op with Trump like he did a few years back with Clinton. As usual, he came off as caustic in this situation, but isn't that his modus operandi?

At the core of his belief is peace.....peace, love of humanity and the end of ALL war.  That's what Roger has always been all about.  Now, how he goes about doing it probably could be more diplomatic, but that doesn't sell records or get you on CNN.  He makes cogent points and backs up his views with facts.....cherry-picked facts but facts nonetheless - this sure ain't crazy.  

I won't see Roger on his latest tour, but mainly 'cause he relies more on tapes, loops and Autotune for a majority of the show.  
I like to feel the suspense when you're certain you know I am there.....

I passed too on this tour.
Partly because it was a 2 hr drive on a "school night", but also there wasn't much new on the playlist.

But I did catch it on Youtube.  I think it was the Cincinnati show.

Apparently Rog just wrote a letter to Putin, after having written to his wife. Wacko
Almost proposing himself as a mediator. 
As if them letters would actually reach Vlado The Wacko. Party

He did use tapes & loops.  There was no obvious autotuning
Trust me. I know what I'm doing.

Really? again with this bullsh*t... He's an antifascist and he speaks it loud, more so, makes great music to say it, since 45 years at least. In a world full of rising fascism, that's a blessing.

He is already persona non grata with his neighbors who he is feuding with for several years now after he built a 14,000 sq ft house and took control of a contested road in Bridgehampton Long Island. Apparently he likes to alienate people.
:rolleyes:
