Merciful heavens; will this ever stop?? The music industry, actors, actresses, what have you (not all of it, but much of it), think they have to use their platform to protest making America great again and promote the disease known as progressivism. Will they ever realize that people don't attend concerts to hear politics? They want to hear music and have a positive experience, not get propagandized.
People like Roger Waters, the Dixie Chicks, Barbra Streisand, and many others just need to keep their politics to themselves!!!
It's a shame. Whether I agree with someone politically or not it's not why I pay money to see them. I want entertainment! If I wanted something else I'd go to a rally or just have a spirited discussion with people about whatever for free.
Trump face is on tv enough. I don't need to see it on concert graphics.
I saw PF in Chicago in the 70s. I'm happy now to attend an occasional PF tribute concert. There is a local group that's pretty good.
I never had a desire to see Waters if he is not with the rest of PF.
You couldn't pay me enough to make me see a Nugent concert.
I once had to sit through a rant about the Dixie Chicks Bush comments. I may see them some day just to spite the person.

I know it's an inconvenient and Pesky thing to some people...when people practice freedom of speech in a Free Country. People have a right to their opinion and a right to voice it. If you don't like it, use your right of freedom of speech and choice.. don't attend the concert or leave (or don't buy their music...)....It shouldn't surprise anyone who knows anything about Pink Floyd that this happened.
Kudo's to them for standing up, for their convictions and beliefs.
Waters also talked trash on Israel. He boycotted Israel. He wanted other musicians to do the same. He ripped Bon Jovi in 2015 for playing in Israel and urged others to not play in Israel.......he is pro Palestine......he is an a-hole........I like their old stuff but damn keep your politics to yourself. I pay to hear you play Pink Floyd music not to listen to the politics and ignorance of Roger Waters.

Again the music is largely the politics of Roger Waters.
I don't know which is odder: that the clueless go to this concert and are offended by political content in these abnormal times; or that anyone cares enough to go see some arena-rock from the '70's at all.
Or that some snowflake feels a need to post it on C-D.

This. Pink Floyd was a great band 40 years ago. Now it's time for Roger to hang it up and call it a day and stop trying to pretend he is any good. Hasn't wrote anything remotely good or groundbreaking since the 70's yet still pretends he's cool and not a total douche.
Yup. There's good reason the band broke up, no one wanted to work with him anymore.
