Behind the Wall

Another crazy diamond to bask in the shadows of yesterday's triumphs, to sail on the steel breeze...


Richard Wright passed on today, age 65, after a short battle against cancer.


Shine on.

Was just thinking about this after seeing another friend of mine post song lyrics about today's events in London...


a place to stay
enough to eat
somewhere old heroes shuffle safely down the street
where you can speak out loud about your doubts and fears
and what's more
no one ever disappears
you never hear their standard issue kicking in your door
you can relax on both side of the tracks
and maniacs don't blow holes in bandsmen by remote control
where everyone has recourse to the law
and no one kills the children anymore
no one kills the children anymore

-- pink floyd, "the gunner's dream," the final cut
