Pink Floyd was formed in London in 1965. The original members were Nick Mason, Rick Wright, Roger Waters, and Syd Barrett. Dave Gilmour joined the band in 1967.
Syd Barrett left Pink Floyd in 1968 due to mental health issues. The song featured in this post, "Wish You Were Here," was written in honor of Syd.
Pink Floyd had some instances of creative differences over time. Rick Wright left the band in 1979. Wright then rejoined the band as a paid session musician.
Roger Waters left Pink Floyd in 1985. He and the other members of Pink Floyd reunited in 2005 for a performance at Live 8.
Syd Barrett died on July 7, 2006 from pancreatic cancer.
Rick Wright died on September 15, 2008 from an undiagnosed cancer.
Dave Gilmour and Nick Mason joined Roger Waters on his The Wall Tour show in 2011.

Here is "Wish You Were Here" for your listening pleasure.

What Really Counts

Who cares what you look like? Can you kick out the jams? Are you a cool person? Then you're lookin' good!

Hi from Tempest

Thank you for inviting me, Lily, Dahling! Hopefully I will have better luck connecting via Ping than Morella did. Don't worry about it, Morella, Dahling, Ping gives us all fits! Loved your choice of The Wall for a share, though. One of my favorites to be sure!

Dahlings, if all goes well, I will be sharing some post-modern stuff tonight. I do sometimes like to check into what's new, after all!

Love,

Tempest

Hi from Morella

Hi everyone, I'm Morella. Thank you, Lily, for inviting me to be a KHEL 666 DJ! I wanted to share the Good Ole Appalachian Music that Cuzzin Hildy Bob and her family are listening to at the Hoedown, but I was not able to connect my new Blogger account with my old Ping account. It's too much of a pain to post every Last.fm link on Ping AND on the KHEL 666 Facebook page AND here. So I will just be doing the Ping and the Facebook page. Everyone can join me on the Facebook page if they want. They can also listen to The Wall in its entirety, right here. I sure remember when this first came out and if you do too--then you're at least as old as me! Hope you enjoy, whether you were alive then or not!
By the way, the Facebook page currently features a nekkid picture of Tommy Lee, with the naughty bits discreetly covered. So if you might enjoy that, be sure to check it out!
Your Fiend,
Morella
