Richard Wright of Pink Floyd has died
- michael_dorfman 18y agoI'm really sorry to hear this-- I hadn't heard that he was sick.
- iuguy 18y agoMe neither. I had the pleasure of watching Roger Waters a year ago at Earls court, magic stuff but clearly missing the others. Given that Syd and now Rick have gone, I guess it's only a matter of time before the piper, the prisoner shines on...
- rms 18y ago:( There goes my last hope of seeing a reunited Pink Floyd...
- shimi 18y agoSame here :-( RIP Richard Wright...

- bootload 18y agoYou gotta keep one eye looking over your shoulder You know it's going to get harder, and harder, and harder as you get older And in the end you'll pack up, fly down south Hide your head in the sand Just another sad old man All alone and dying of cancer. I like to code to Pink Floyd, even when I code like a dog ~ http://www.google.com.au/search?q=pink+floyd+dogs http://www.google.com.au/search?q=pink+floyd+dogs

- mattmaroon 18y agoI never did enough (or the right type of) drugs to enjoy Pink Floyd.
- rms 18y agoI think you owe it to the memory of Richard Wright to give it a try tonight.
- mattmaroon 18y agoI'm not big into the whole eulogizing thing. I didn't know who he was two days ago, and don't really care anymore now.
- _csoo 18y agoI only started to enjoy Pink Floyd after I realized I didn't need to be a stoner to like it. Stoners and their mindlessness ruin good things.
- notphilatall 18y agoHe saw me through many coding sessions -- good man, too soon.
- kajecounterhack 18y agoI'm feelin' comfortably numb... Rest in Peace Rich, the world is a darker place without you.
- uuilly 18y ago"How Do You Feel" off of Atom Heart Mother was a Wright song. It was always one of my favorite Floyd tracks. RIP...
