I was at the Jones Beach show mentioned in the Drudge Report article. It's true that he sent out his flying pig with anti-Bush drivel and pro-Democrat scribblings. It's true that he sang a song about Lebanon that made no sense -- it talked about Bush and Blair and bombs and how Lebanon in 1961 was the birthplace of fuzzy bunnies and ducks and somehow George Bush and Tony Blair are responsible for the man in the cartoon/video having only one leg, his wife having a hunch and his infant daughter having a damaged eye. When the song was over, I said to my brother "I'm pretty sure that the US and Britain never bombed Lebanon. I don't get it." There also was another song that included a video of a US nuclear submarine attacking an oil rig inside an arena that featured Marv Albert as the announcer. [Marv, are you wearing women's underwear? "Yess!"] The middle portion of the show, with his new anti-war/anti-US songs, were what I (and perhaps Marv Albert) would characterize as "extensive gar-bage time."
The Pink Floyd stuff he played was well done, and the show ran for 2+ hours, which is rare for a rock concert these days, but the communist (hammer and sickle)/islamicist/anti-US/pacifist/idiotarian ostrich crap left a bad taste in my mouth. I also didn't like him perverting "Another Brick in the Wall Pt. 2" by featuring a bunch of schoolkids wearing "Fear Builds Walls" t-shirts on stage.
All in all, he's just another dick with no balls. |
