Pink Floyd
I was very late in discovering Pink Floyd. Oh,
sure, I had heard some songs, who hasn't? Pink Floyd have
been around for so long with such a distinctive hits like
Brick In The Wall that one cannot have lived for any reasonable
length of time without having been exposed to their music.
But I had never really listened and that is the difference.
All I knew about Pink Floyd was the cash till at the beginning
of Money, which I thought pretty cool, and the giant pink
pig... Then I went out with one of Pink Floyd's biggest fans
and, horrified at my lack of appreciation for her life-long
heroes, she insisted I listen... really listen... She talked
all the time, insisting why I should love them at once...
And I listened, between her insistences, to Wish You Were
Here and Money and I became a fan. I am so grateful to Sally,
their biggest fan, for having introduced me to Pink Floyd.
For me their music, like really good vintage wine, is an acquired
taste and I just took too long to get acquired... Still, better
late than never...
