Roger Waters Unwittingly Aids Israeli Research on Alzheimer’s

This story is over a month old, and I am shocked I missed it until now: Antisemite Roger Waters – who is the poster boy for boycotting everything to do with the Jewish state – is unwittingly helping Israeli scientists develop future treatments for Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s.

Talk about mind blown!

Their music is one of the most influential examples of mind-altering psychedelic rock.

But scientists say listening to Pink Floyd really does have an effect on your brain cells – and could make them more susceptible to future treatments for Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s.

The surprising finding comes from a study in which researchers played the band’s 1979 hit, Another Brick In The Wall, and monitored the impact it had on brain cells in humans and mice.

They found the low-frequency sounds in the song made cells ‘vibrate’ and caused certain parts of the brain to ‘light up’, indicating greater activity, and triggering the release of certain proteins.

This increased activity could help scientists deliver medicine to treat complex neurological conditions directly into the brain, researchers at the Israel Institute of Technology said.

Roger Waters wrote the song and it features his vocals. So he is unwittingly advancing Israeli science while ranting about the “Zionist menace.”

Meanwhile, I am sure scientists could learn a lot about the effects of copious amount of drugs and alcohol – by studying Waters’ brain after he shuffles off this mortal coil.
