Richard Wright: 1943-2008

"Forward he cried from the rear
And the front rank died.
And the general sat and the lines on the map
Moved from side to side." Us and Them

Ottavio (Otto) Marasco said...: Nice tribute. I paused upon reading the news of his passing only minutes before coming across this post. In some ways the soul of the band .. Am tempted to dust the old vinyl copy of Dark side of the Moon, for old times sake...; September 15, 2008 at 5:46:00 PM EDT

For all the timeless lyrics and message of DSM the Great Gig in the Sky outshone every other composition on the album for me.; September 15, 2008 at 6:15:00 PM EDT

Jay@Soob said...: For us fans any inkling of hope for a reunion tour is very unlikely.; September 18, 2008 at 5:36:00 PM EDT
