Pink Floyd’s Roger Waters has dubbed Ed Sheeran a “p****” who has “done the wrong thing” amid the ongoing controversy over Macklemore being pulled as a support act from Sheeran’s tour after expressing solidarity with Palestinians on stage.
For anyone who doesn’t want to watch the included video: p**** = prick
Edit for formatting
2nd Edit: I have just learned that Waters has very publicly supported Putin in the war on Ukraine saying, that Putin governs carefully and makes decisions based on consensus? So it’s pricks all around in this story.
Ed Sheeran chose to be a spineless weiner and cave to the billionaires. He had enough power to push back and chose not to.
Or, if he wanted to stay in business as a well-remunerated organ-grinder’s monkey, an apolitical entertainer who guarantees a good show to anyone who likes his songs regardless of politics, he should have vetted his supports better, as you can’t have it both ways.
I do believe the mistake is with the billionaire stadium owner. He had an opportunity to sit down with Macklemore and discuss the issue, but chose not to. That is something I think is lacking in todays world, and talking first will almost always lead to better outcomes.

I’ve never thought that not talking was the better option than talking. I would suppose then you don’t associate with anyone you disagree with.

War is always bad. I’m still at a loss why Hamas doesn’t just stop.
When Israel gave Gaza to the Palestinians it was a prosperous land. Hamas did nothing but build tunnels and missiles with the sole purpose but to destroy Israel.
Another situation where talking might improve things.
