Sounds like Mark Zuckerberg is a big fan of Roger Waters’ songs.
Or at least his marketing team is because Zuckerberg PERSONALLY reached out to Roger to offer him a gross amount of money to use ‘Another Brick in the Wall’ for Instagram. Because you know, nothing says Instagram like a song about the indoctrination of our youth.
Ahem.
Roger’s response is really and truly how all of us feel about Zuckerberg these days (note, this is NOT safe for work):
Mark Zuckerberg personally asked Roger Waters for permission to use "Another Brick in the Wall" in an Instagram marketing campaign. This was Roger's response. pic.twitter.com/qsQZo1iWVJ

What Roger said.
Not a Waters fan personally (huge Pink Floyd fan, though) but he sure ain't wrong here. Bravo to Roger.

To be fair, Roger has said some screwed-up stuff over the years BUT he’s absolutely right in his response to Zuckerberg.
He doesn’t get to OWN EVERYTHING.
Bravo!
