Gilmore doesn’t buy into that crap. And Pink Floyd is Gilnore’s. Mason and Waters are ex members.

With The Stones “Sympathy For the Devil” is a song.
Evidently with Pink Floyd it’s a philosophy.

I’m sorry to hear Floyd has pink eye, but why does his opinion matter?

So if Israel, tomorrow, pulled back to the original borders, handing responsibility back to the nations which held that ground, would Pink Floyd then boycott Egypt & Jordan? Would they call for sanctions against Syria?
No?
Oh, I see, it is all about a fictional state which has never existed which is ‘occupied.’

Waters hasn’t been Pink Floyd for a lot of years. F him.

Interesting, IIRC Blues Traveler opened for the Stones in 1997.

That may have been when it happened. not sure. I know Popper was there at the concert and Mick wouldn’t let him jam with them as I mentioned. It was described in Keith Richard’s book.

The Stones decision to ignore Roger Waters and Nick Mason of Pink Floyd underscored Israels growing popularity as a stop for major musical acts, and it signaled a setback for a campaign known as boycott, divestment and sanctions (BDS). Good for the Stones....And Pink Floyd? They need to stuff a brick in it...

I’ve known for years that Roger Waters was anti-semitic scum. He has that special brand of upper-crust British racism, which would see him doing things like referring to Israel as “Palestine” in interviews. A few of my older Brit relatives were the same way: just absolutely never accepted the fact that t3h j00000z could have their own country, and would make statements like: ‘there were no Jews in Palestine before 1948’.
