Piper at the Gates of Heaven (Hopefully)

If you're one of those people still hoping for a Pink Floyd reunion tour, despite the fact that David Gilmour has said time and again that he would never tour with the band again for any amount of money, your hopes must now be completely be dashed.

Rick Wright, founding member and keyboard player of Pink Floyd, died yesterday at age 65 from cancer. This is just another instance of making people like me, who were kids back in the 1970s when we first heard Pink Floyd on the radio, most likely something from "Dark Side of the Moon" which seemed to be playing every time I turned on the radio, feel old. It also points out that 65 seems like a younger age than we once would have thought. Back in the day, 65 seemed old. Now it seems not all that far off and, for some, perhaps frightfully close.
