Is this an accurate statement? or is Waters at 78 off his Rocker?
I say it is and accurate statement.
-----------------
"Pink Floyd's Roger Waters believes he's "far more important" than The Weeknd and Drake "will ever be."
Waters, 78, who is currently on his This Is Not a Drill tour in Canada and the U.S., took aim at the rappers in an interview with Canadian newspaper The Globe and Mail published Friday.
The Pink Floyd alum noted his audiences now are "far more attentive" today than at the height of his band's success "because now I’m not constrained by the rock group that I was with then. They were always trying to drag me back from my natural instinct, which is to tell the truth."

Waters then questioned the reporter on why he and other outlets did not review his shows in Toronto on July 8 and 9, to which The Globe and Mail's Brad Wheeler asserted, "Your concert wasn’t the biggest in town that night."
Waters stressed his concert was two nights and The Weeknd's was canceled. "Would it not have been possible to review his show one night and my show another night?" he asked.
"I have no idea what or who the Weeknd is, because I don’t listen to much music. People have told me he’s a big act," the Pink Floyd musician added.
He continued: "I’ve got nothing against him. … I’m not trying to make a personal attack. I’m just saying it seemed odd."
"With all due respect to the Weeknd or Drake or any of them, I am far, far, far more important than any of them will ever be, however many billions of streams they’ve got," Waters said in a scathing diss. "There is stuff going on here that is fundamentally important to all of our lives."
