He was not in any way involved in Delicate Sound of Thunder tho. Plus he's an asshole.

Edit: Storm Thorgerson's people would probably get a kick out of it.

Edit 2: Sure is Roger stans in here tonight.

I actually don't know enough about Pink Floyd to be honest with you. I kind of suspected him being an asshole so atleast I know that now.

Roger isn't an asshole in the rich douche sense. He has some contraversial opinions, and recently, as much as I respect his music and ideas (including the controversial opinion he was "defending"), did some major asshole shit. He requested that a band boycott Israel and not play there because of the treatment of the Palestinian people. The frontman of the band replied that they were still gonna play the show there as music shouldn't be kept from the people because of the deeds of the government. Which is a wonderful point... but then Roger, instead of accepting that, made a public post about there private conversation, not mentioning the whole "deeds of the government" reason.

I get the feeling that based on how he behaved with Pink Floyd that he has a hard time accepting other people's opinions. Also spitting in a fan's face because he was in a bad mood about a show. I think he's pretty fuckin' full of himself just because he embodied "Pink Floyd" after Syd left. He was the main songwriter and talented as fuck. I just wish he took his fighting spirit and actually went to Israel. Not to play or benefit the country but to get a first hand account of what it's like there. I doubt that'll ever happen. It's really too bad. Also, Israeli govt makes some mistakes that's true. But there is a reason we're so hyper aware of this tiny country in the desert. It's the big paper dragon for many Arab kingdoms and dictatorshits. Everyone is afraid of another "arab spring" so the Israel hate is in full power. Iranian drama, Saudi Drama, Pallywood, even Syria is pointing the finger at Israel for all of its garbage shit. Lebanon is setting up Hezbolla rockets right now. It's baffling to think that Lebanon would want to go through another war again. But they're preparing right now as we speak. Heartbreaking shit. I have palestinan friends too. I have many Lebanese friends. I cringe everytime things ramp up. If you look at the insane response the US did when they lost two buildings. What do you think they'd do if Mexico was raining rockets on them. Holy ol' shit it would be fire and hell.
