I am a big time fan of Pink Floyd, but your letter let me down.

Waters means well, but he's astonishingly gullible when it comes to conspiracy theories.

More-specifically he's been an antisemitic conspiracy nutter for decades.

It doesn't take much in the way of Russian and Chinese Facebook propaganda to turn him whichever way they want. All they have to do is allege a Jewish conspiracy behind any Western government action and he's theirs.

He needs to tap out of these things. Nobody worked harder than Roger to create an impeccable body of work over a lifetime. Why weigh in now?

By now, we should be able to distinguish the art from the man behind it.

Did Kanye and R. Kelly teach us nothing?

There is a grain of truth here, but speaking about these two artists you mention, I am not a fan of either of them.

”A week before 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, Waters said to a RT interviewer that the talk of an attack is ‘bull-@#$%&’ and propaganda demonizing Russia.”

“Waters was commended for this position by Dmitry Medvedev, Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council.“

Why would musicians be experts on international relations? Or anything else, for that matter. Why do people care what celebrities think about stuff? They're generally idiots, like everyone else.

Just like people here.

What is this tying one's occupation to the right to have an opinion, and precluding the possibility they know what they're talking about?

That's something a racist would say, the type of 'logic' a racist would use.

There are also people in any field of discussion that aren't experts, when many of them should be.

Yes, idiots like everyone else.






I am that Masked Man.

All you can do, is all you can do.

There’s trouble — it's time to play the sound of my people.

Your boos mean nothing to me, I've seen what you cheer for.

Insisting on your rights without acknowledging your responsibilities isn’t freedom, it’s adolescence.

I've been to the edge of the map, and there be monsters.

We are a government of laws, not men.

Everybody counts or nobody counts.

When a good man is hurt,
all who would be called good
must suffer with him.

You and I have memories longer than the road that stretches out ahead.

There is no safety for honest men except
by believing all possible evil of evil men.

We don’t do focus groups. They just ensure that you don’t offend anyone, and produce bland inoffensive products. —Sir Jonathan Ive

An armed society is a polite society.
And hope is a lousy defense.

You make me pull, I'll put you down.

I *love* SIGs. It's Glocks I hate.

I'm talking about putting more weight on what celebrities say, which clearly happens a lot. They are good at acting (sometimes), which doesn't mean a thing about other complex issues. When's the last time 4 million people read your opinion on twitter? Celebrities have more sway than they should, and I don't put any more faith in what they say than I do in what you say. I don't know what you're talking about re: race? This has absolutely zero to do with race.

I like to think we are well informed idiots.
