Recently, Roger Waters attended a Julian Assange support event where he explained that he was approached by Facebook who wanted to use a Pink Floyd title in an Instagram ad. But as we will see, Mark Zuckerberg did not know who he was addressing when he wrote to the artist to offer him a big check in exchange for the broadcasting rights toAnother Brick in the Wall, Part 2.
“It happened this morning. An offer for a big, big sum of money. And the answer is, “Go fuck yourself. There is no way ”. I only mention this because it is an insidious attempt to take over absolutely everything. I will not take part in this bullshit, ”he said, according to Rolling Stone, in front of the press present at the event.
A “little con”
For Roger Waters, this proposal is all the more annoying than the classic that is Another Brick In The Wall is precisely a diatribe launched in the yoke of the single thought. “And yet they want to use it to make Facebook and Instagram more powerful than they already are so they can continue to censor us all and prevent Julian Assange’s story from reaching the general public,” he said. continued the musician, before going directly to Mark Zuckerberg.
Roger Waters, recalled how the Facebook boss first developed FaceMash, a site to rate girls on his campus, as can be seen in The Social Network, the film by David Fincher. “How could we have given him so much power?” And yet he is there, one of the most powerful idiots in the world, ”he wondered. Finally, Roger Waters relayed a video of the event on
Twitter, writing: “Zuckerberg was a jerk when he was a student. Being very rich doesn’t change anything, it will always be a little jerk! “
