Richard Wright- keyboardist for one of my alltime favorite bands, Pink Floyd. Died yesterday of cancer at age 65. Wright left the band during recording of The Wall after fallout with the Billy Corgan-esque frontman- Roger Waters. Wrights leaving for me marked the end of Pink Floyd as I loved them. The complete sound was only complete when Wright was at the helm steering the ship amidst the dissaray that was Gilmore's haunting guitar and Waters' brilliant and divinely troubled lyrics.
Last night I couldn't sleep. When I finally dozed off I had nightmares about conflict and sadness. Perhaps my subconscious was aware before I was that one more great legend has left our world and moved on to "The Great Gig in The Sky".
