GILMOUR ON 'GEORGE'S' GRAFFITI

Former PINK FLOYD star DAVID GILMOUR is bemused by ex bandmate ROGER WATERS' graffiti on the West Bank barrier at Bethlehem - as he signed it 'RW', but his real name is GEORGE.

DAVID GILMOUR at the Mojo honours list at Shoreditch town hall, London, England - 05.06.06 and ROGER WATERS arrives in Israel for his concert at Neve Shalom, Israel - 21.06.06

Waters, 61, took a trip to Israel and the Palestinian territories last month (JUN06), and scrawled a number of messages including "no thought control" and "tear down the wall" on the edifice, which is being built by Israel to keep out Palestinian suicide bombers.

But Gilmour is less than convinced by Waters' crusading spirit - hinting the bassist has two identities, depending on which territory he is on.

He says, "I'm surprised he initialled it with the letters 'RW'.

"His first name is really George. Perhaps there are two sides to him - George being a Zionist conservative and Roger being a flag-waving liberal."
