This is crazy. I'm real tired of casual fans pretending Roger didn't talk of politics in songs since the 60s, especially anti-war (Corporal Clegg) ------------- https://www.youtube.com/c/LoyalOpposition https://www.scribd.com/document/382737647/MortSahlFan-Song-List |

Has the UK lost the plot as far as freedom to speak and choose? If I were Roger, I'd move to South America or Dubai... Quickly. ------------- https://bakullama1.bandcamp.com/album/maxwells-submarine |

I'm going to leave this up for a short period of time as it's news worthy and prog related but please tread very very carefully as it will be closed at the first sign of nonsense. ------------- Ian Host of the Post-Avant Jazzcore Happy Hour on Progrock.com https://podcasts.progrock.com/post-avant-jazzcore-happy-hour/ |

| Not much chance given the prisons in the UK are pretty much full an they are releasing many offenders early. |

His songs have always had a social or political commentary/conscience. Take songs such as 'Corporal Clegg', 'Fearless', and 'Free Four' - all of which were precursors to The Wall / Final Cut albums, and then Amused to Death. ------------- "Christ, where would rock & roll be without feedback?" - D.

This is utter nonsense. Propaganda from a group who you might agree or disagree with, but have extremely loud mouths, using a willing rock star tit to promote their campaign, including that against them being a part of some governmental pogrom (which I decline to comment on). There really is nothing to see here, aside from a modern social media pile of noise. ------------- Enhance your life.

If the authorities were actually fair, they'd have to put JK Rowling in jail too for supporting organizations that promote discrimination. Rules for me not for thee? -------------
