RIP Richard Wright

Well, it has been quite an active day for this blog and, sadly, this post may be the bearer of bad news for some of you out there. Richard Wright, keyboardist for Pink Floyd, passed away today from a short battle with cancer. He was only 65. Why does it feel like our rock gods are fading fast? Where are the new heroes that inspire young players to pick up a guitar? For me it was Jimmy Page, David Gilmour was out of my league. But I got there. And despite what many will say, I think The Division Bell was one of Floyd's better albums (though not the best by any means). And Rolling Stone magazine will forever have zero credibility in my book for the denial that Pink Floyd is a band of legend warranting only the most hallowed praise.

Anyway I have already spent way to much time on this blog today to warrant the amount of work I have neglected. So I will call it a night. Out.
