The word is PUSSY right? Like PRICK they can be used on the internet.

Yeah, prick isn't what I was expecting it to be either, though I'd accept either of the two obvious options as accurate. 😀

Oh it was prick? I thought it was pussy lol

Uh I know! Is it a prawn?

Penis?

He is, too, he really both-sides'ed the whole situation and went on to do the tour even after every other act pulled out.

IDK what sort of cancellation fee they're threatening him with but I think he had a great excuse for the courts when the producers and venues sabotaged his tour.

If I went to school for journalism, and my editor told me I needed to use the word slams in my headlines, I'd start looking into careers in woodworking.

"Hit 'em with a chair! Flying elbow! HE'S GETTING THE LADDER, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN."

I hadn't hear this so I looked it up. You aren't kidding.

The veteran Pink Floyd rocker, Roger Waters, has addressed the UN security council at Russia’s invitation, and called for an immediate ceasefire in Ukraine. But he was denounced by the Ukrainian ambassador as “just another brick in the wall” of Moscow’s propaganda.

...

The Russian delegation’s invitation followed an interview Waters had given to the Berliner Zeitung in which he had been highly complimentary towards Vladimir Putin, who he said, according to a translation on his own website, “governs carefully, making decisions on the grounds of a consensus in the Russian Federation government”.

What the fuck. Putin governs carefully and makes decisions based on consensus? I guess you're right. It's pricks all around.

He might be a prick for a whole lot of reasons, but he's right about Palestine.

IMO it makes it better. If this is too wrong for waters then you know Sheeran fucked up bad.

I like to think there are levels to Pickery

has been a staunch Palestinian supporter. can't win them all.

Love his music.

Fuck Putin. Free Palestine.

Thanks. I edited in the Putin information when I learned of it about an hour ago. Might not have propagated to your instance yet though.

Your underlying point is correct and I agree

But the pedant in me hates this saying. It's almost never true. A clock broken in a very specific way is right twice a day, but how many clocks get broken like that? If they get smashed, and hands fall off, they can't even show a valid time. Even then, they're more likely to just run at the wrong speed, which makes it VERY unlikely they'll show the correct time even once a day. Also most clocks are digital now! If those break, they show nothing!

Thank you for coming to my Tod Talk

From appearance... maybe?

According to WP, he had his 83rd birthday this month.

Why's that?

Oh, I remember this weirdo. Behaves like someone who's desperate for attention and drama, no matter the cost.

You're not pro-Palestine if you're antisemitic. Palestine has always been multiethnic and multicultural until Zionists started enacting their plans of ethnic cleansing.

Ah, that's more Tucker like

Don't think that's what you're saying, but Waters isn't antisemitic, just to make that clear

Don't tell her most Palestinians are Semitic too.

Thanks!

Ah, the old Aaron Rodgers "I can throw a ball very well, so I must be a genius" syndrome.

For some reason when people become very successful in one field, they act like experts in everything.

I think it's more "very successful in a public-facing high exposure field" rather than generally very succesful in a field.

Human beings tend to look up to those who are famous and, IMHO, because many if not most of famous people end up interiorizing on their side of that equation that, since so many look up to them, their opinion is more important than that of other people.

I'm not sure if they end up believing that they know better than others in fields that have nothing to do with their expertise, if they're just leveraging that human behaviour and their fame to convince people of something they think is important, or even if they're publicly opiniating in controversial subjects purelly to get more media attention because in their domain more public attention turns into more $$$ for them, but ultimatelly from the outside all 3 motivations yield the same behavior from the famous and hence look the same.

But we care about what Ed Sheran has to say?

And because Sheeran doesn't have to lipsync his concerts.

I don't agree with Roger Waters' "the West is always in the wrong" worldview, but his music has always been heavily political and opinionated, and is better for it.

Not every band has something to say about society and the world at large, but Pink Floyd and Roger Waters certainly do.

These are important things to know when you're listening to fucking music I guess.

Commercial musicians make music based on what the listeners want to hear. Genuine artists make music based on what they want listeners to hear.

One is marketing, the other is expression.

I find it ridiculous when either side tells artists that they need to stay out of politics or stay in their lane.

So if someone has a large platform, they shouldn't advocate for ending a genocide? Clearly you've never paid attention to music in your life. So much music is deeply political. Entire bands are strictly political. You sound like one of those MAGA supporters that's surprised when they find out RATM hates cops. Acting like musicians should stay out of politics is a fucking absurd take. Even this event of Macklemore being censored is a highly political moment. That being said, fuck Roger Waters for backing one genocide while decrying another. And fuck Ed Sheeran for having no spine.

Or an account of, "Takes one to know ones."
