rms, did you just submit a comment complaining that a submitted comment is inappropriate for this site?


no complaint, just a link...


  You gotta keep one eye looking over your shoulder
  You know it's going to get harder, and harder, 
  and harder as you get older
  And in the end you'll pack up, fly down south
  Hide your head in the sand
  Just another sad old man
  All alone and dying of cancer.
I like to code to Pink Floyd, even when I code like a dog ~ http://www.google.com.au/search?q=pink+floyd+dogs


nice pick, that's my favorite Pink Floyd song


"... nice pick, that's my favorite Pink Floyd song ..."

Yeah one of mine as well. Still remember the "big pig" bobbing around last time I saw them in concert.


I'm really sorry to hear this-- I hadn't heard that he was sick.


:(

There goes my last hope of seeing a reunited Pink Floyd...


Same here :-(

RIP Richard Wright...


Me neither. I had the pleasure of watching Roger Waters a year ago at Earls court, magic stuff but clearly missing the others.

Given that Syd and now Rick have gone, I guess it's only a matter of time before the piper, the prisoner shines on...


He saw me through many coding sessions -- good man, too soon.


I'm feelin' comfortably numb...

Rest in Peace Rich, the world is a darker place without you.


"How Do You Feel" off of Atom Heart Mother was a Wright song. It was always one of my favorite Floyd tracks. RIP...


I never did enough (or the right type of) drugs to enjoy Pink Floyd.


I think you owe it to the memory of Richard Wright to give it a try tonight.


I'm not big into the whole eulogizing thing. I didn't know who he was two days ago, and don't really care anymore now.


I only started to enjoy Pink Floyd after I realized I didn't need to be a stoner to like it. Stoners and their mindlessness ruin good things.
