Count Pink Floyd frontman Roger Waters as someone who is not a big fan of Facebook owner and creator Mark Zuckerberg.
Waters said during a forum supporting jailed WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange that Zuckerberg offered him a huge amount of money to use his 1979 hit “Another Brick in the Wall (Part 2).”
“You have no idea what it is—nobody does—because it arrived on the internet to me this morning. It’s a request for the rights to use my song, ‘Another Brick in the Wall (Part 2),’ in the making of a film to promote Instagram,” Waters said in a letter explaining the situation with Zuckerberg.
“So it’s a missive from Mark Zuckerberg to me… with an offer of a huge, huge amount of money and the answer is, ‘F* you! No f*ing way!’
“And I only mention that because it’s the insidious movement of them to take over absolutely everything. So those of us who do have any power, and I do have a little bit—in terms of control of the publishing of my songs, I do anyway. So I will not be a party to this bull****, Zuckerberg,” he continued in the reading.
Waters took another shot at Zuckerberg, calling him an “idiot.”
Pink Floyd has been vocal in the past about not allowing their music to be used for advertisements. They want to see their music be used only for a “good cause.”
Just Another Anti-Semitic in the Wall.
There are legitimate reasons to hate/dislike Zuck the Cuck, but being one ‘of them’ isn’t one of them.
When did he mention Zuckerberg’s ethnicity? At least not in this article.
Big Floyd fan, and no fan of Zuck, but Waters is an angry, angry man.
There is no wall without that anger. Waters has an ego that sets the bar for egos, but the same can be said for most brits.
Fair point Mr. Hustle.
Made some great music but as a human being he really has gone through life angry and pissed off just about everything sad way to live
You’re right about that, James. Just ask David Gilmore.
The point is that all social media has literally become “the wall” they are the oppressors and the dividers.
