Culture: When Pink Floyd's Roger Waters Told Zuckerberg....."Go F---- Yourself"

While speaking at a benefit late last week for jailed Wikileaks founder, Julian Assange (more on that below), the co-founder of Pink Floyd revealed he recently received a request from Facebook to license “Another Brick in the Wall (Part 2)” for advertising.

“You have no idea what it is — nobody does — because it arrived on the internet to me this morning. It's a request for the rights to use my song, 'Another Brick in the Wall (Part 2),' in the making of a film to promote Instagram,” Waters explained to a laughing audience. “So it's a missive from Mark Zuckerberg to me... with an offer of a huge, huge amount of money and the answer is, 'fuck you! No fucking way!” Waters, citing Facebook’s predilection for aspiring to Bond villain-levels of world influence, went on to claim that it’s Zuckerberg and company’s goal to stifle privacy rights and free speech — the very things Waters and many others (for better or worse) see represented in public figures like Julian Assange.
