Shine on...you crazy diamond

Yesterday the keyboard player from Pink Floyd (Richard Wright) passed away in his home after a long battle with cancer. Wright split from the band during the making of The Wall and then released some solo stuff and some stuff in a band called Zee before, eventually, coming back to Pink Floyd after the departure of Roger Waters. Richards style was one of the things that gave Pink Floyd their incredibly distinctive sound. I'm a huge Pink Floyd and David Gilmour fan and am truly bummed by Richards death. I can spend hours listening to the hypnotic sound of their music and Richard had a big part in one of my favorite songs off Dark Side of the Moon, "The Great Gig in the Sky." He was 65. What a true loss. RIP Richard.
