Chronically underemployed former Floydian Roger Waters has finally weighed in on the Israeli-Palestinian issue. Not surprisingly, he is against Israel's wall.

Waters and a group of communists, fellow travelers, and "artists" have signed a smaller version of the wall, which will tour the UK garnering signatures. The final garaffiti-ed structure will be presented as a petition at the tour's completion.

In addition to his signature, Waters' wrote- in an extraordinarily unclever moment- "We Don't Need No Thought Control". The comment is clearly supposed to connect this wall with The Wall although I'm not sure what one has to do with another. What does this Israeli project have to do with post-war Britain's educational system? Will the defensive wall drive nascent Palestinian rock stars mad?

It's like the promoters of this project brainstormed which celebrities they could get behind them..."If only there was someone with big-name recognition who had SOMETHING to do with a wall yet had nothing better to do..." *fingers snap* "Hey, wait a minute..."
