In Memoriam: Rick Wright

OK, folks, I’m not the world’s biggest Pink Floyd fan. I never synced up “Dark Side of the Moon” to “The Wizard of Oz”, nor could I recite lyrics from any Floyd songs other than “Money”, “Comfortably Numb”,”Another Brick in the Wall” or “Wish You Were Here”. (hey, I didn’t say I wasn’t a fan, just not the world’s biggest fan!). I did get to see the flying pigs during “Live Earth” last year. That was fun.

Rick Wright’s passing today marks the loss of the second original member of the prog-rock giants in a little over two years. As most of you already know, Syd Barrett passed on in summer ’06. The keyboardist was 65 years old.
