CounterVortex Episode 74: Roger Waters: just another brick in the wall by CounterVortex published on 2021-06-04T22:58:30Z In Episode 74 of the CounterVortex podcast, Bill Weinberg rises to the odious duty of deflating an idol of his youth—former Pink Floyd frontman and creative genius Roger Waters. While he grandstands against the bombardment of Gaza, Waters spreads propaganda that seeks to deny and whitewash the equal and even greater crimes of Syira's genocidal dictator Bashar Assad. Pink Floyd's 1979 album The Wall satirized rock stars who flirted with fascism, but Waters has now perversely turned into just what he was satirizing back then.

To me it's one thing: rock. Calling Floyd "corporate" is ironic, Wish you were here cover, have a cigar and such. I don't think the classic rock bands cared much about what punks thought of them; punk was still fringe vs. the stadium fillers like Floyd, Zepp, etc. I was waiting to here something about Ukraine, but nothing. Oh well. 2022-08-25T08:00:28Z
