Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion The Water Cooler I've got some bad news for you, Sunshine

Pink isn't well, he's gone back to the hotel...for good!

Dave officially ended Pink Floyd over the weekend, after 48 years. Whew, it's a good thing he told someone.

Some say Pink Floyd died the moment that Sid departed. Others will say the band ended after they released the Wall. Time will tell what happens next.

Yeah! Filing this under slow news day.

Others say the band will live on until the last bit of playable media (digital or otherwise) disintegrates into the dust of history.

I've got a little black book with my poems in!

Wierd an wonderful Floyd.

Fred has the final word on this. Why? Do YOU wanna listen to him kvetch about it? Careful with that ax, Frederick.

I was 11 or 12 when The Wall came out. One of my favorites of all time. We played it in class a lot. My teacher really did not care for a certain chorus on one of the songs...

The really funny thing about the same teacher was that he kept telling us that the record was skipping when we played Tommy...

Hey, it worked for Eugene.

I like old music, but I'm not living in the past. Pink checked out some time ago.

...and the hotel reference recapitulates the introduction, so we are finished here.

But now Fred didn't have the final word.

We're never done here.

On a side note, I dug through the tube of yous and listened to some old and some new.

After all the spent anger of The Wall, Pink was never the same.

I agree on both counts, Fred. From my experience, it seems that one can be an "angry young man" up until about 30. Then, if you persist, you're just an a-hole for the next 30 years. At 60, you've earned the right to become what everyone already expected---a curmudgeon.

If my memory is correct, you have one more year as an a-hole, then you're home free. Did I mention crotchety?

Don't tell my wife she has to put up with me being a total crotchety a-hole for the next 15 years, I think she might change her stance on gun control and join the NRA.

Now that I know you're 45, I hate to have to tell you that you can't be crotchety for another decade and a half, Matt. That means you're just an a-hole. Don't worry. I did my three decades worth. It goes by really quickly. Our friends, and especially the people who have chosen to live with us, already knew that. If your wife hasn't already tried to kill you, I think you're good.

Of course, there is always the possibility that, without your knowledge, she has TRIED to kill you and failed. Just a thought.

I am definitely an A-Hole, and think that crotchety was a good preamble descriptor for the type of a-hole that I am. I am very much looking forward to the grumpy old man (curmudgeon) stage of my life.

I have some wicked speakers and enough amplification to drown out all the other a-hole's of the world that I don't want to deal with. I think I am set for that 15 year wait.
