Why was yesterday such a sad day? I know what you guys are thinking...the stock market was down 500 points yesterday and we are in the middle of the largest financial crisis since the great depression...Fannie and Freddie go under, followed by Lehman Brothers and now maybe even insurance giant AIG. Surprisingly, that is NOT why yesterday was such a sad day.
Yesterday marked the passing of Richard Wright, one of the original founding members of Pink Floyd. Since my college days I have been a huge fan of Floyd and while I was probably a little late to the show, I feel that they were one of the most influential and important bands in the history of rock music. To this day I still kick myself for not going to the Pink Floyd Division Bell tour in Cleveland in the early 90s. RIP Richard.....
