This kind of news makes me feel really old.

Like Homeboy, it makes me feel old too. Truthfully, however, it was the fact that he was 60 years old and not that he had died that made me feel old.
We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, year after year. Runnin over the same old ground, what have we found? The same old fears, wish you were here. Before somebody gives me an earfull, please know: 1. The quote is from memory so it could be off a bit 2. I know it comes from a post-Barrett album, but it was an album that was ABOUT Barrett, so it counts.

Has any band ever had longer introductions to songs than Pink Floyd? You could turn on a song, go to a movie, and come back just in time for the beginning lyrics. |

There are very few celebrity deaths that make me feel a bit down. This is one of them. Pink Floyd is one of my favorite bands, though I came to know them a few years after Dark Side of the Moon was released. The Wall is huge from my early high school days.

Pink Floyd is in my glasses to motivate me on long rides. I'm going to listen to Dark Side of the Moon.

Wow just thinking about it bums me out. Don't know why, perhaps it's the large empty cavern I call a home.
http://www.pink-floyd-lyrics.com/htm...sh-lyrics.html Wish You Were Here (Waters, Gilmour) 5:17 So, so you think you can tell Heaven from Hell, Blue skys from pain. Can you tell a green field From a cold steel rail? A smile from a veil? Do you think you can tell? And did they get you to trade Your heros for ghosts? Hot ashes for trees? Hot air for a cool breeze? Cold comfort for change? And did you exchange A walk on part in the war For a lead role in a cage? How I wish, how I wish you were here. We're just two lost souls Swimming in a fish bowl, Year after year, Running over the same old ground. What have we found? The same old fears. Wish you were here.

If we ever have a Cougarguard party I'll bring the guitar and play all the FLoyd stuff from Dark side, the wall, etc. You will all regret it, but I will do it.
