You don't have to like the rest of the band, but Waters has always been the most left wing of the group.
roger waters is quoted on the cover of Washington Bullets, along with Evo Morales
"Like his hero Eduardo Galeano, Vijay Prashad makes the telling of the truth lovable; not an easy trick to pull off, he does it effortlessly." - Roger Waters, Pink Floyd
Is he a multimillionaire boomer musician with performative politics? Yeah. He's about as good as they get.
Most performative politics don't involve actually reading and disseminating theory to the masses. This is just someone using their platform to disseminate propaganda, which is really the only good thing you can do with fame like Roger Waters has.
performative politics is when you spread a message to millions of people
authentic politics is when you crank post on a leftist basketweaving forum with six hundred online users
liberalism is when you, the reader, crank your hog on a leftist lesbian interpretive dance forum with six hundred online users
communism is when I, the author, crank my hog on a leftist lesbian interpretive dance forum with six hundred online users
billionaire
no he's not lol
he's not poor, worth millions, but still.
Oof.
I looked it up and while technically he’s (probably) not currently ,a billionaire his estimated net worth is $310 million and his lifetime “earnings” are well over 1 billion.
He rakes in several hundred million every tour, and owns a private island in the Bahamas.
estimated net worth is $310 million
several hundred million every tour
love roger but he is trying his best to live paycheck to paycheck lmao
why is he a millionaire? why does he need that much money?
cause capitalism pays musicians that have been world famous for decades a lot of money?
I'm not saying he should have that much, but he's not a billionaire and I think he is sincere in his politics.
why doesn’t he pay his roadies and lightning techs better? why is rogers the CEO of his own production company?
Roger waters is about as based as you will get in terms of musicians that famous.
why doesn’t he pay his roadies and lightning techs better? why is rogers the CEO of his own production company?
