I know most of you have seen the headlines about his now cancelled shows in Poland.

Some points of discussion;
1. He’s claiming that he’s not wanting a war in Ukraine and instead of blaming the oppressors he once again blames the side that is defending themselves.
2. For years he’s been an anti-Semite disguised with the rhetoric of not wanting war against a people he’s sympathetic towards. However, he claims that the side he doesn’t like has no right to defend themselves.
3. He’s lying that he didn’t cancel the shows in Poland as those tour dates have been scrubbed from his website.
4. He whines that it’s unfair that other people want to boycott him, etc. Yet he has for years written to other bands that they are bad people if they don’t boycott Israel and then calls for people to boycott the bands that don’t follow his orders.
The fact that this person is so delusional and continues to have a platform to spew his hate and delusional thoughts is disgusting.
To say we can’t discuss this person on here and call out the evil that he perpetrates is concerning. Roger is using his concerts, his fame, etc. to take a stance. We should be able to discuss that.
After all, this community is voting about his relevance whether you all realize it or not. Just take a look at the stats for downloads of Nick’s recent tour vs. Roger’s current tour. Nicks downloads are much higher than Roger’s. Most of us have moved on from Roger’s pathetic views and his over produced and lip synced performances.
The rest of the world is finally starting to come around to the fact that Roger is woefully misguided.
He’s now looked at as the one who stayed at the bar a tad too long and is ranting and raving as a drunken old fool.
