I've said it before and it bears repeating. Accountant rock.

My 26 year old godson, my best mate’s eldest lad, called down yesterday.
I was chatting with while playing with the dog in the back garden.

Out of the blue he says I’ve been listening to Pink Floyd, what do you think of Dark Side of the Moon.

He had only just got into it and thinks it’s the greatest thing he’s ever heard.
I explained how the relevance now is as much as it was back in the seventies.

He says he’ll come to the next concert of Roger Waters, with his dad and myself, whenever he comes here.

I think Roger waters wrote the best PF album of them all "The Pro's & Cons of Hitchiking"
Well, my favourite of theirs anyway. Love Claptons playing on that.

So he's started smoking weed then? :-)

Make him listen to Animals and Atom Heart Mother too...

No it doesn't. And no it isn't.

Certainly not.
Believe me, he’s completely into fitness. Doesn’t drink much never mind drugs.
Animals would be interesting. Wonder would he get that.

They werent that good to begin with (My personal pov). But they became so good with the pinnacle being DSotM. After that I believe they were still very good and I've listened to it just not for me.

I also think Pink Floyd were the British Doors at the beginning. The End/Break on Through etc came out around the same time, the music was similar, nihilistic, trippy. Its sometimes amazes me how two separate streams of culture produce the same thing quite separately. But thats just my theory.

Right, back to the Truss thread to see if she's been sacked.
