Roger Waters - is he really that idiotic?

Just got back from the cinema where there was a live screening of tonight's concert from Prague,

If anyone has seen his recent tours will tell you that on the big screens he often name checks many people from all regions that have been killed, usually civilians killed by the state. If I remember correctly during either 'The Wall' tour or his last tour during the intermission the video wall showed pictures and names of military personnel that had been killed serving their country.

Anne Frank, was name checked along with the text (something like) "Where : Germany, "Reason : Being Jewish". There was another (cannot remember their name) "Where : Palestine, Name : xxxxxxxxx, Reason : Being Palestinian". There were many other others named, with reasons such as Being Black, Being Gay etc..

He has always used the Star Of David along with other national and corporate emblems/logos during the concert, usually in anti war, anti capitalism songs.

Hold on a minute, you forgot to mention if the concert was excellent or not

Roger responds to the rather appalling reporting on his recent tour from the likes of the BBC.

Yes, he got a bit carried away, but I agree with a lot of what he said.

Media needs to be stopped, problem is there would be no PH
