Hadley Freeman writes about Waters in todays Sunday times- worth a read, and p18 also discusses Lindemann.

The Row Zero shit with Till Lindemann was completely misrepresented by the media. Here‘s an open letter signed by over one hundred women explaining what the parties actually were. Listen to women, not male journalists writing about women‘s sex lives.

(And Der Spiegel admitted in court they forged the affidavits. Exploiting #MeToo for profit.)

It's bitterly ironic that Roger Waters could recognize the corruption of stardom back in the '70s and even sing about it as early as 1975, but he has never been able to escape it. He's never gotten beyond the shadow of THE WALL, touring arenas endlessly with a concept album about the damage done by arena touring. I'm a big Pink Floyd fan and even like his last 2 solo albums, but he's turned into the rock music equivalent of Oliver Stone: a champagne tankie.

Oliver Stone is a great comparison!

Next stop for Waters: a documentary in which Stone interviews him about his political beliefs for 3 hours!
