I have it easy. I liked Pink Floyd in high school, when all I knew was Dark Side of the Moon, but I’ve never been a Roger Waters fan. My husband was a big fan, and it was his stuff I unloaded after he passed.

LOL, I hate getting old. I was in middle school when The Wall dropped; 12 going on 13. The damn album was everywhere; you couldn’t get away from it.

I was never the biggest Floyd fan; much like Yes, I just didn’t get what they were doing until I was much older. My bud really admires Waters’s solo stuff as well as the Floyd stuff. I find the solo stuff to be uninteresting at best, and completely pompous at worst.

Then when you add the Ukraine-is-as-bad-as-Russia/antisemitism cherry on top of his egocentrism, I’m like “Nah, dog, I don’t wish you were here.”

FWIW, I ditched all of my Dilbert collected paperbacks a few weeks ago. Pretty much the same mindset: I try my best to separate the art from the artist, but when said artist clumsily calls for the US to resegregate, fuck that noise. I’ve already spent my money on the books (or got them as gifts) but I don’t need to see Scott Adams’s name on my bookshelf, reminding me of what a terrible racist he is.
