Sadly @rogerwaters you are antisemitic to your rotten core. Also a Putin apologist and a lying, thieving, hypocritical, tax-avoiding, lip-synching,misogynistic, sick-with-envy, megalomaniac. Enough of your nonsense.

However, the resentments between main band members Roger Waters and David Gilmour from decades have been the talking point among the people. Recently lyricist and Gilmour’s wife Polly Samson tweeted accusing Waters of being “antisemitic to your rotten core…a Putin apologist and a lying, thieving, hypocritical, tax-avoiding, lip-synching, misogynistic, sick-with-envy, megalomaniac”. Gilmour quoted the tweet and wrote, “Every word demonstrably true”. Talking to the Telegraph, Waters spoke about the iconic album and said, “I wrote The Dark Side of the Moon,” he attested, “Let’s get rid of all this ‘we’ crap! Of course, we were a band, there were four of us, we all contributed – but it’s my project and I wrote it.” The good point about the album is that it still finds a connection with the new generation and garnering love from them.
