R.I.P - Richard Wright

Damn, just the other day, I had written a post on how David Gilmour thinks that Pink Floyd will never ever re-unite. Here I am, listening to Lost For Words and reading David Gilmour's blog and see by a quirk of fate that the Pink Floyd re-union can never happen - ever!

Rest In Peace - Richard! You were one hell of a keyboardist and took us on some amazing trips! Will be missed by a whole lot of people!

Sadly this joins my post on Syd Barrett.

Pink Floyd reunion?

For all of us hoping for a Pink Floyd reunion, David Gilmour has closed the doors on the idea - again! In his interview to Yahoo! News, he has succinctly said that he has "been there, done that". Some beautiful lines from his interview -

"There have been all sorts of farewell moments in people's lives and careers which they have then rescinded, but I think I can fairly categorically say that there won't be a tour or an album again that I take part in. It isn't to do with animosity or anything like that. It's just that I've done that. I've been there, I've done it."

On the other hand, I am looking forward to his new DVD release - Live in Gdańsk. Sure that that will turn out to be an awesome concert.

Pink Floyd perform together - for Syd!!

Damn, came across this very, very interesting article on BrainDamage where, last night, Pink Floyd performed with Roger Waters once again. This time it was for a Syd Barret tribute. Damn, the list of performers is awesome. To name a few - Robyn Hitchcock, Chrissie Hynde, and Kevin Ayers. Wish I can lay my hands on the DVD or the video somehow.

On a lighter note - another friend of mine mentioned that the bike known as the HeroHonda Karizma was actually the LML Karizma first. Err - what??!!?!
