@@PetraKann I actually have NO IDEA how many known "musicians" have addressed The U.N. directly. I would say NOT many. I know BONO did. Live AId was Bob Geldof's idea so he must have. STING I beleive did about The Rain Forests. . I can mention FARM AID 1993 Neil Young addresses The crowd "I thought with the NEW Administration we would finally get things going the right way for the American Farmer. But when I sent an Invite to The new Director Of Agriculture, Mr Espy he declined to come or egven speak to me. New Administration , Where';s The Change"/. Neil also said Obama should have been impeached for Fracking and attacking Native Americans in The Dakotas. Then of course CSNY released OHIO for 4 dead at Kent State. But there is absolutely NO ONE in "Modern Music" (Britney Spears era to present day) that have done ANYTHING remotely close to calling out injustices. It's all about feeding the Corporate Machine and making them more and more money. I don;t think they have the knowledge to make intelligent speeches. They are self absorbed. It;s about THEM now not US. They TAKE from us-not give. They take out money and our admiration for little in return of any SOUL substance.They do not give us IDEAS to ponder, Facts we can digest or Raise a Higher State of Mind. So I don;t know who else stood out. Dylan did at ONE time..but that was 1963. Its 2023. Been a LONG time since DYlan spoke out-OH YES he did -for RUBIN HURRICANE CARTER in 1975. That was the last time for him.

I saw the show on 2/6/23 in Glasgow.Firstly it was a FANTASTIC gig but on the subject of the negative publicity.. the people who want him banned clearly have NO understanding of what the song and uniform is depicting! Which is where leaders can go to these extremes if left unchallenged. The lyrics also mention gay people, black people, people who smoke weed and people with spots!! Are any of them complaing?? They would do better to open their eyes and ears and. Roger is also standing against the Israeli Regime whi are murdering Palestinians and trying to destroy them. This is not against the people of Israel or any Jewish person its a statement against the government. He is 100% right to condemn any violence and murder especially when it is committed by tge state.. again depicted by the many many names if victims of state or police murder on the screens in his show! They dont even ask for him not to play that song.. instead they want his whole show banned and him discredited because he stands against their agenda!!! I whole heartedly support him and his stance against tyranny.
You have the TRUTH on your side Roger Waters!!! You’re a wonderful, beautiful human being Roger! ☮️🙏🏻☮️🙏🏻☮️🙏🏻☮️🙏🏻☮️🙏🏻☮️🙏🏻☮️

Roger Waters delivered an impromptu ditty that referred to his Jewish agent as a “fucking Jew”, Waters once referred disparagingly to a vegetarian restaurant meal as “Jew food” Waters suggested in an email that the giant inflatable pig that floats above the audience at his shows should be adorned not only with a Star of David but the phrases “follow the money” and “dirty kyke [sic]”. Waters sang an antisemitic ditty about his former agent, the late Bryan Morrison, who was Jewish: “I can’t remember the exact circumstance… but the last line of the couplet was “...’cos Morry is a f****ing Jew’.” Waters dined at a Lebanese restaurant, and the waiters brought a succession of vegetarian dishes. According to Stachel, Waters pushed a dish with his arm and berated the waiter, saying: “That’s it! That’s it! Where’s the meat? Where’s the meat? What’s with this? This is Jew food! What’s with the Jew food! Take away the Jew food!”

It's so stupid to try to label Roger as "anti-Semitic"! First, because the fact that the swastika appears on stage does not mean support for Nazism, on the contrary, it is obviously a criticism! By that logic they are using against him, Chaplin would have been arrested for "Nazi propaganda", for making the film "The Great Dictator", in which he made fun of Hitler! Can people no longer recognize a satire? Do you no longer know what social criticism is? And yes, it makes sense to be an Israeli campaign against him, as he is a strong critic of the disgusting massacre that Israel promotes against the Palestinian people! Funny that anyone who is against Zionism is called an "anti-Semite", when Muslims are also Semites! The only criticism I have of Roger's recent positions is the fact that he is having ambiguous positions in relation to the Ukrainian War! Putin's Imperialist Fascist is 100% wrong in this war, there is no way to have any other position in this war other than defending that Russia withdraws from Ukrainian territory as soon as possible! Invading another country without being attacked first is a complete disrespect to national sovereignty and international law treaties, not to mention that it is completely inhumane to kill the people of another country, due to political disagreements or interests for power! Putin has already made it clear that he thinks that Ukrainian territory is "Russian by right", and that he wants to "take back the territories of the former Russian Empire" (from the time of the Tsars). And Putin is also using this war to generate a feeling of "national unity", to try to regain popularity, since he was losing strength in the last elections, in big cities, centrists like Navalny were gaining strength in municipal elections, and in national elections the Communist Party had had a great growth compared to the previous election. Putin knew he could lose the next election, so he needed something to take the focus off his bad and authoritarian government.
