I’ve always thought Pink F sucked.
Never knew how so many her liked them.
Now I find out they’re leftist pigs.
That part shouldn’t be shocking.
They hate money and capitalism. Bet they gave everything they earned away. :)
The three remaining members of the band - Roger Waters, David Gilmour and Nick Mason - are multi-multi- millionaires.
Waters is the only real left-winger, as far as I can tell, and he didn’t really make his views known until about the mid to late 80s, long after their heyday.
Gllmour and Mason are more subdued with their politics ... they may actually even be slightly conservative in their old age.
The band was constantly at loggerheads throughout their career - and Waters ended up being a bit of a pariah after their last album together, “The Final Cut.” Most of that tension, however, had to do with artistic direction. But maybe some of it had to do with politics, though, who knows.. ?
Still, their accomplishments and influence on music are indisputable - in my opinion.
“Dark Side of the Moon” is still my all time favorite rock record, even though I vehemently disagree with Waters’ politics. He didn’t write everything they did, and the lyrics of that record are ambiguous and can be interpreted in many ways.
