Interesting piece on why Waters should not be cancelled and how we don't now distinguish between the artist and the character or roles they are playing:
Waters wore nazi style costumes touring The Wall and does so now. Because he hates fascism not because he is into it. But now many are trying to cancel him.
When did we get so simple, so stupid?
And where does this all lead artistically? What place is there now for satire - one of the most effective (at an everyday rather than geo political level) ballasts against the growth of fascism and other horrors?
Yes they have been after Waters on this for a long time. He has just railed against tyranny and fascism all his life so far as I can tell. If the fascism is in Israel/Palestein he will also call it out.
