36. Any "fan" offended by this has clearly never listed to the actual music and message

Of Waters and Pink Floyd. They also obviously never watched "The Wall". This is the equivalent of RWers getting upset that Bruce Springsteen happens to say something "political"

Funny how the outrage is always when a real artist speaks out against authoritarianism or in favor of other left leaning ideas, but the media always seems to shrug when Ted Nugent and his ilk spew hateful, violent bile like it's no big deal. And they call us "snowflakes"
