Popular Post Heretic Posted June 15, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 15, 2021 Good for Waters! Pink Floyd song writer Roger Waters slammed Mark Zuckerberg during a press conference recently, announcing that the Facebook owner had offered a “huge, huge amount of money” to use the iconic song Another Brick In The Wall Part II in an advert for Instagram. Speaking at an event to raise awareness about imprisoned WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, Waters noted the deep deep irony of Facebook wanting to buy and use a song that rails against ‘thought control’ and mindless conformity. Waters described the development as part of Zuckerberg’s “insidious movement… to take over absolutely everything.” Waters read out Facebook’s request, which noted “We want to thank you for considering this project. We feel that the core sentiment of this song is still so prevalent and so necessary today, which speaks to how timeless the work is.” “And yet, they want to use it to make Facebook and Instagram more powerful than it already is,” Waters urged, adding “so that it can continue to censor all of us in this room and prevent this story about Julian Assange getting out into the general public so the general public can go, ‘What? No. No More.’” “So it’s a missive from Mark Zuckerberg to me… with an offer of a huge, huge amount of money and the answer is, ‘f**k you! No f**king way!’,” Waters boomed to rapturous applause. “I will not be a party to this bullsh-t, Zuckerberg,” Waters added. He then asked “How did this little pr**k, who started off going, ‘She’s pretty, we’ll give her a four out of five. She’s ugly, we’ll give her a one’… How the f**k did he get any power in anything?” “And yet here he is, one of the most powerful idiots in the world,” Waters emphasised. https://www.zerohedge.com/political/watch-roger-waters-tells-little-prick-zuckerberg-fk-following-request-use-iconic-pink 1 3 2 11 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bell Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 Roger Waters is a massive #unt. The way he protects Floyd is admirable. Floyd is the best band we all got to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fanuck Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 So, money can't buy everything. Good for you Roger! People like Zuckerberg and Bezos need to understand that not everyone can be bought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bell Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 I never worry the best bands in history are fighting. Waters is a huge piece of whatever piece of chit he is wearing. Dislcaimer Pink Floyd is my fav band 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghostsof1915 Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 He also sued the other three band members to stop using the name and he lost. Waters and Gilmour I think get along until they start working as musicians together. But at least Waters is consistent. Pink Floyd's opinion of fervent capitalism..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gurn Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 With a networth of around $310 mill Roger doesn't need the money Zuck was offering. I've seen Roger 3 times in concert and 2 are in my top 5 greatest concerts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curmudgeon Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 Just bought tickets for Roger Waters concert This is Not a Drill for September 15, 2022 at Rogers Arena. Saw the Wall at BC Place a few years ago and it was awesome, so I expect this one to be as good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fanfor42 Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 Millionaire Rock Star calling out a Billionaire dot com weasel. Lol. The world will become a better place when people stop caring about this stuff and care more about being kind to the people you bump into on the street corner. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
