    I heard this on the radio in the car yesterday. I was whining and howling in sadness Played a couple of Floyd CD's in his memory.

    I took my nickname/stripper name/modeling name from The Wall - Second CD - Track 4.

    I love Pink Floyd and whenever I hear Floyd it always takes me back to the late 80's when I first got into Floyd. Thanks for all the memories.

    Shine on you crazy diamond.

    Pink Floyd is one of my favorite bands of all time. Rest in peace, Mr. Wright.

    Ditto...

    "Shine On You Crazy Diamond"

    Remember when you were young, you shone like the sun.
    Shine on you crazy diamond.
    Now there's a look in your eyes, like black holes in the sky.
    Shine on you crazy diamond.
    You were caught on the crossfire of childhood and stardom,
    blown on the steel breeze.
    Come on you target for faraway laughter,
    come on you stranger, you legend, you martyr, and shine!
    You reached for the secret too soon, you cried for the moon.
    Shine on you crazy diamond.
    Threatened by shadows at night, and exposed in the light.
    Shine on you crazy diamond.
    Well you wore out your welcome with random precision,
    rode on the steel breeze.
    Come on you raver, you seer of visions,
    come on you painter, you piper, you prisoner, and shine!

    Well, just in case you didn't know, Shine on You crazy Diamond was a direct reference to Syd Barrett, an original founder of the group, who indeed did go crazy. Both Dark Side of the Moon (referring to insanity) and Wish You Were Here (referring to wishing he was there) albums were largely homages to him. Wright was instrumental (ha, ha) in both those albums.

    It's a loss. I remember going to one of the Pink Floyd concerts - I think it was the Momentary Lapse of Reason tour - and it started out with the sustain keyboard note of the Shine On number, a single spotlight on Wright as he did the opening tunes. Tough to imagine him gone now.

    In a world of personality-driven bands, Pink Floyd sustained itself with its music, with pretty amazing longevity.

    Thank you, Mr. Wright, for many hours of listening pleasure. Sigh.

    It's been a rough year for keyboard players. Danny Federici from the E street band dies in April of cancer and now Richard Wright.

    Wright was responsible for the texture of those great PF albums. Roger Waters and David Gilmour got more of the attention but it wasn't Pink Floyd without those ethereal sound scapes created by Richard Wright.

    The organ at the beginning of "Us and Them" and the piano solo in the middle still give me the chills. Rest in Piece.

    "The Great Gig In The Sky" still breaks me out in goosebumps, y57us. IMO, the acoustic/electric blending employed by Waters on that and other songs heavily influenced the keyboard players of bands like Supertramp.

    The recent passings of musical icons like Mr. Waters has given me a greater appreciation for being a part of the historical 1970's music scene. I recall a classmate's older brother getting arrested during the 1974 "Dark Side Of The Moon" concert in Los Angeles, when former Police Chief Ed Davis decided that 511 people needed deliverance from the evils of marijuana smoke...
