Roger Waters off a Pig's Back.

 Are there no surprises left in life? Now for my third returning special guest. 

Having written here:

that Roger Waters seemed to enjoy the trappings of authoritarianism much too much to fully condemn them, he's come out in full support of Putin. He's also under investigation in Berlin for anti-semitic imagery, and a uniform just a bit too naziesque for local liking:

I think he was allowed to wear it in the end, but still, that floating pig emblazoned with the Star of David is a bad look.
