Roger Waters says he turned down a 'huge' Facebook offer to use a song

Somewhat related, Microsoft paid Mick &amp; Keith (of Rolling Stones) 3 million dollars for the &quot;Start Me Up&quot;. And Mick &amp; Keith rerecorded it so they didn&#x27;t have to split the money with rest of the band <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.networkworld.com&#x2F;article&#x2F;2220097&#x2F;what-microsoft-paid-the-stones-to-help-launch-windows-95.html" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.networkworld.com&#x2F;article&#x2F;2220097&#x2F;what-microsoft-...</a> <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;JustinsBigIdea&#x2F;status&#x2F;1380665912211034117" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;JustinsBigIdea&#x2F;status&#x2F;138066591221103411...</a>

Facebook is quite out of touch with reality if they thought Waters would let them use it. Additionally they also don&#x27;t understand what the song is about.

That sucks. How will they effectively advertise the new instagram feature that allows you to feel a synthetic form of being connected while trapped behind a figurative&#x2F;physical wall of fear and self isolation?<p>Like... how would you use this song, non-ironically, for facebook? Who does this appeal to?

He should accept on condition that the song must be Pigs or Welcome to the machine

I was thinking the song would be &quot;Comfortably Numb...&quot;

Roger Waters net worth is $310,000,000. There isn&#x27;t a huge enough number.
