''German police to probe Roger Waters over ‘Nazi uniform’ scandal''
https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-e...-b2346259.html
Thought this would be bollocks and it is. Want to see the 'Nazi Uniform'?
Firstly that's nothing like an authentic Nazi leather trench coat. Probably cost him a load of money but it looks like it's made from PVC - like those 'leather' jackets you could buy down the market back in the '70s. No nazi would be seen dead in something that tragic, that's why they had Hugo Boss do their uniforms.
Second his badge is nothing like the Nazi swastika. Looks more like West Ham to me.
Third isn't one of the themes of 'The Wall' about a rock star having delusions of being a fascist dictator? So totally valid from an artistic performance point of view anyway.

PC Police in action. Where does it all end? Will performers start having their recorded material from decades ago censored and controversial lyrics redacted?

There are people who want that to happen. I can understand the German government being a bit sensitive about the whole nazi thing but it's the thin end of the wedge in terms of censoring art.

Isn't that the symbol from The Wall, I'm sure it was in the 'Another Brick in The Wall' video.
It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

If the Germans are a bit sensitive over their past, it's no reason to pounce on anything that disturbs their guilty consciences. And all because a music video pokes fun at fascistic symbolism.

“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”
