Roger Waters Bad Timing: Ex Pink Floyder, Noted Antisemite, Releases New Version of “Dark Side of the Moon” and It Flops

Share

The disgusting Hamas attack on Israel has proven to be bad timing for noted antisemite Roger Waters.

The former member of Pink Floyd released his own re-recorded version of “Dark Side of the Moon” on Friday.

I doubt it was going to be a bit, but now it’s really a flop. Buying a copy would really be an endorsement for antisemitism and the anti-Israel movement. Hence, the Watered down version of “Dark Side” is at number 27 on iTunes. Estimates put weekend sales at around 600 for downloads and CDs, and streaming equivalent of about 3,500.

Waters revealed himself as antisemite years ago, but in recent times has stepped up his verbal attacks on Israel. Concert fans in Europe watched him goosestep in a Nazi uniform on stage.

So far Waters has not posted any comments on the savage murders and kidnappings perpetuated on the Israelis by Hamas. He obviously knows he’s been mostly cancelled already. One more statement should do him in.

In the meantime, why would anyone want a re-recorded “Dark Side” without Nick Mason, Richard Wright, and David Gilmour. Stick with the original.
