NEW ORLEANS – People likened Pink Floyd front man Roger Waters' packed show in New Orleans overnight to propaganda and were frustrated with the second half of the show being devoted to Waters' hatred of President Donald Trump.
Attendees told WBRZ, Water featured images of war and protests on giant screens as he performed. During one set, a pig with Donald Trump's image on it floated above the heads of spectators. Graphics spelled out “Trump is a pig” throughout the performance.
Waters has been labeled an anti-Semite by the Anti-Defamation League. His concerts often feature visuals such a flying pig emblazoned with a Star of David.
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.
Pink Floyd was never a favorite of mine and this wasn't them anyway. British bands have always tended to stick their noses out in commentary on American politics. The Beatles sort of kicked that trend off. Personally I can care less what Waters thinks about our country. His own has its issues, and he could stay busy enough playing to his fans there, but I guess he's just doing as Romans do with the venue here.
I used to like Floyd well enough. However the classic rock stations here have quite burned me out on them and Zeppelin as well. And a couple specific US bands. One can count on hearing Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Aerosmith and Van Halen offered up in just about every play set. Meh. I can't care what any band or celebrity types think of US leadership and policies. Thankfully, I don't have to listen to any of them.
Interestingly enough, The Beatles were against the ginormous taxes England imposed on their income. No matter. Still one of my faves.
If I stopped listening to (or watching) every artist or actor that was opposite of my political liking it would be a very lonely and boring world. I can always get past their views and respect their work. I recognize no one is perfect and we all have flaws....
