#4  Most of his lyrics were about war and madness. The music sounded good but the themes got a little tedious. Won't buy any more of it. Whack job.

#3  Big Pink Floyd fan. I'm not sure when he became an anti-semitic nut but I've always thought that losing his father at Anzio in WW2 (see "When the Tigers Broke Free") had something to do with it. Assuming the story in the song is semi-autobiographical that is.

#1  A very vocal old man. Showing his age. Media has been promoting him lately. Perhaps a useful tool.
