Roger Waters & Eddie Vedder: Turds of a Feather

Pearl Jam singer frontman Eddie Vedder joined Roger Waters for a performance of Pink Floyd’s Comfortably Numb earlier this week.

The terrible turdsome in action

Fans at Chicago’s United Center were treated to a surprise when Pearl Jam frontman Eddie Vedder joined Roger Waters for a performance of Pink Floyd’s “Comfortably Numb” on Sunday night (July 24).

Vedder emerged unannounced from behind the stage just after the first chorus to join in and sing the parts originally delivered by David Gilmour. This is the first time since 2012 that the Pearl Jam singer joined Waters, having previously sung together at Madison Square Garden at the 12:12:12 Hurricane Sandy benefit.

In addition to handling the vocal parts, Vedder assisted the band — including guitarist and vocalist Jonathan Wilson — for the song’s climactic ending.

I know some pro-Israel supporters were disappointed Vedder would play with this antisemite, but what they may have forgotten is Vedder is not much better than Waters.

(language warning)

I find it highly appropriate they would get together to sing Comfortably Numb, given their attitude towards Israeli civilians targeted for extermination by palestinian terrorists.

  1. Being critical of certain actions taken by Israel does not equal antisemitism. Valuing life, even those of Palestinians, does not make one an antisemite. Being against dropping bombs and killing people, even when done by Israel, does not make one an antisemite.

    1. What country are you from? Is it like Israel where you are surrounded by terrorists? Please come back and let us know…

        Yes. So does telling demonizing lies about what Israel does, and then basing the ‘criticism’ on the lies and not on reality.

    2. “Dropping bombs and killing people”. You mean like Gazans lobbing a continuous stream of rockets at Israeli towns and villages? Is that what you mean, ej1? Or is it only bad when Israel finally defends itself?

      If that is all they were doing, perhaps.

      But, among other things, the obsession to castigate Israel and ignore other, worse actions is what gives them away as antisemites.

  2. 2 loser and fake liberals blowing each other on stage, I am happy there are real liberals like Thom Yorke and Morrissey who are supportive of the Israelis
