Man, it’s so disappointing that the last couple of years really have made me outright hate him. Really love your music bro, but you’re a huge piece of shit.

What did Morrissey do? I would think he would be progressive as hell.

In the middle of one of his concerts last summer he pulled out this gem:

“When God made you and me — before we came out of the womb, you know who you are and what you are. Later on, when you grow out of it, you see things, and you start believing that you could be something that sounds good, but you know it ain’t right. Because a woman is a woman and a man is a man. That’s it. Whatever you wanna do in the closet, that’s your business. I’m OK with that.”

The clip ends with Santana lining one hand behind the other, and adding that he was “Like this with my brother Dave Chappelle.”

Like, if you don’t like trans people I guess you do you, I doubt anybody’s gonna change your mind especially at his age. But, why exactly do you need to get on stage and disparage a group of people like that?

Should have happened while he was lying about Ukraine and giving support to Russian imperialism and genocide back in 2022.

Being an anti-Zionist is not the same as being anti-semitic

This is far from the first time Waters has been labeled antisemitic, though it’s maybe the first time the allegations against him have come from close associates citing specific instances where he allegedly denigrated Jewish people. Ezrin — who produced Pink Floyd’s The Wall — recalled Waters making up a song about the band’s former agent, Bryan Morrison: “I can’t remember the exact circumstance,” Ezrin said, “but something like, you know … the last line of the couplet was, ‘Cause Morry is a fucking Jew.’ It was my first inclination that there may be some antisemitism under the surface.”

Stachel, meanwhile, claimed Waters once grew frustrated during a vegetarian meal, eventually declaring, “That’s it! That’s it! Where’s the meat? Where’s the meat? What’s with this? This is Jew food! What’s with the Jew food? Take away the Jew food!”

That doesn’t sound anti-Zionist to me.

I’m not sure I believe the anecdotal evidence of a former producer. I reserve judgement until further evidence is provided

You can still listen to his music. He has decades of music for you to listen to that are available from multiple sources. And he will also almost certainly find a new label.

Anyone who actually wants to listen to the music Roger Waters makes in the 2020s is going to be able to find him regardless of the label, but I would suggest that is not a huge number of people when it comes to people who listen to Roger Waters’ music.
