Roger Waters - David Gilmour Feud Hits Twitter

Oh boy. It's never good when band feuds spill over into social media. We all know that Roger Waters and David Gilmour of Pink Floyd basically hate each other these days.

Well, Roger has been on the wrong side of history for quite some time regarding Russia and the invasion of Ukraine. Gilmour's wife, Polly Samson, tweeted about Roger yesterday. It should be noted Polly isn't a regular rock spouse - she's also a Pink Floyd songwriter. Samson called it straight after Roger's recent interview in a German newspaper...

 

 


Of course, media picked up on this whole thing. I actually saw it myself because I follow David Gilmour and noticed he "liked" Polly's tweet.

 


Well, now Roger Waters is freaking out and "looking into legal action." This after the dude said Israel is just like Nazi Germany... and Ukraine is full of Nazi's too. I dunno man. Not a good look.

I'm slightly less interested in waving the 'true' and 'false' flags when it comes to this situation. Nuance? No? Okay. Everyone's got a POV. But I will wade in . . .

. . . what it is is sad. A pathetic state for a group of fellows who created some great music. Waters is a waffle-cone filled with bitter contradictions. Gilmour is a graceful fellow with much reserve. His wife is his wife . . . and a writer for the band after Waters left. She has as much right to say what she wants as any other person. But this is all just a bit too much of . . . well, more of the same.

So, let's play this easy. It is easy to like Gilmour. And it is even easier to hate Waters. See? Easy. But where does that get you? That can't possibly be the whole story. And haters and lovers know that. But they want to take a stand. So, go ahead. It might make you feel comfortably . . . nah, too easy.

Old husks, some more paunchy than others, tilting at windmills both new and old. Getting old must suck for those who can afford to do so. For the rest of us? Well? I'll see you on the dark side of the moon.

Old guy arguments on Twitter rule. Takes time away from yelling at neighbors and weaving down the interstate at 47 mph with their turn signals flashing. I’d like to spend my waning days Comfortably Numb, but that’s just me.
