The trailer is a bit long and unfocused. Noted anti-semite Roger Waters (of Pink Floyd fame) has a lot of people lining up against him. Alan Dershowitz and Howard Stern may be the best known of them (see trailer). I have a Google alert set to Waters and will keep Lem informed.

Waters hopes for an "enormous backlash" against Israel; what if instead there's an enormous backlash against Roger Waters?
I haven't seen much coverage but Roger Smith, husband of Ann Margret and star of 77 Sunset Strip died last night. Another Roger, Roger Moore, who was part of Warner Brothers late 50's early 60s TV productions died recently. Do you suppose there's a third Roger about to meet his end?
Career-suicide may be in the offing for Roger waters, but not death-death.
Even his former bandmates consider him insufferable. Of course in his eyes, he's not the problem.
I saw him in Atlanta several years back, when Bush was still in office. He was spewing some pro-Palestinian pig shit and the crowd was booing him. It was funny. He was simply awful. I won't ever purchase anything that he had any hope to profit from. Just a nasty, twisted, tormented soul.
I wonder if he shoots up testosterone. He has weird, damaged skin on his inside upper arms.
I just now learned 77 Sunset Strip is an address!
The whole time I thought it was an entire road. Like Route 66.
Like cops going up and down 77 Sunset Strip.
The canopy with the address looks like a restaurant. A detective's office with a restaurant canopy.
I listened to the theme. It has terribly complicated lyrics. Goes like this:
77 Sunset Strip
77 Sunset Strip
77 Sunset Strip
77 Sunset Strip
77 Sunset Strip
77 Sunset Strip
77 Sunset Strip
77 Sunset Strip
77 Sunset Strip
77 Sunset Strip
77 Sunset Strip
I did say terribly.
I also learned the show came up with a novelty single featuring Connie Stevens called Kookie, Kookie (Lend Me Your Comb). It too has terribly complicated lyrics that go like this:
Kookie, Kookie lend me your comb.
Kookie, Kookie lend me your comb.
Kookie, Kookie lend me your comb.
Kookie, Kookie lend me your comb.
Kookie, Kookie lend me your comb.
Kookie, Kookie lend me your comb.
Kookie, Kookie lend me your comb.
With spoken beatnik words in between. Now I wonder however did Connie Stevens learn such difficult lyrics? They must have paid Connie Stevens extra for that.
And I looked at images of [roger smith, 77 sunset strip]. With acute interest in aging.
Handsome as a young man, undistinguished and puffed up as elder gentleman. He looks pleasant enough but cannot smile. Oversized glasses and faint mustache, callow white fuzz for hair. He did not age well.
Conclusion: It's in the weight. The puffiness might be from medication.
Today I could not read a menu on a chalk board behind the deli clerks making panini sandwiches. The letters are large enough, they're faded and unlike these lyrics actually complex. It's hopeless trying to read the sandwich details and frustrating for clerks waiting for you to decide while your decision is based on their crap menu. I complained. Because they're waiting. And saw that my complaint had no reaction. So I vocalized my submission to the situation, "I hate getting old."
That DID evoke a reaction. Complete commiseration and understanding and apologetic compassion.
So I complained again similarly at checkout and got the same reaction again. Everyone hates getting old. Everyone is interested in how that affects people personally. It's universal. And it's actually funny. In its pathos.
Roger Waters has always been a dickhead. He just confirms what is already known. Growing up in post war england has left a lot of guys from the UK at his age to be the detritus of that time. Apathetic, dejected, aggrieved, and angry. They were the first generation of crybabies of the world of modern times.
