#1 D *** NG IT, clearly Israel must be severely punished for Egypt + Jordan refusing to give up their sovereignty claims on Gaza + the West Bank to the Paleos to be their State!

#2 I love the music of Pink Floyd, but Waters has been a far-left moonbat since... well, since his dad was killed at Anzio in WWII when Roger was an infant and he grew up a confused, lonely, bastard. In the truest sense of the word. I only pity him. Too bad Stevie Wonder gave Waters' opinions any consideration. If he (Wonder) did, that is.

#4 He was a big star in the 70s but his band is kaput and he hasn't come up with any new material since then. Even then his songs were all about war and madness, never any love songs and never anything the least bit uplifting. Paul McCartney he is not.

As for South Africa, I think the jury is out as to whether they are better off now than they were before. And just think, if there were no Israelis, how "Palestine" would be. The Palestinians had their chance in Gaza to show the world what they could do and now its an international basket case full of hateful little losers. I used to think Waters was a smart guy...

#6 He said South African leader Bishop Desmund Tutu also sent Wonder a similar message.

Arch Druid Tutu is little more than an African Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, or Jeremiah Wright.

Someone once made the comment that, had you bought the album "The Wall" - congratulations, you'd just paid for Waters' psychotherapy.

#8 I remember someone once referring to The Wall as an "ode to Roger Waters' ego"

Americans had their own music - rock'n'roll, jazz, blues,folk, etc. - but they made a choice: they threw their support behind a bunch of narcissistic Brits, namely, Beatles, Stones, Led Zeppelin, Floyd, Bowie, etc. They were all bona fide experts at exploiting teenagers and made themselves super wealthy in the process. America is poorer for that choice in more ways than one.
