Random video: Pink Floyd: "the good times are passing by"

I'm too...distracted...to form coherent thought. No politics, don't want to angry up the blood. No nothing. I don't want to even try at the moment. My brain is dulled and overheated, asleep and electrified, simultaneously. And what better accompaniment to distraction than Pink Floyd. So I'll show a Floyd interview done during the making of Dark Side of the Moon. Like that album, and the band itself, the interview is both dated and timeless. And a little bit funny too, if you look at the face of David Gilmour and his reaction to his band mate's back-up singing. Judging by the look in his eye, perhaps he understood better than anyone that all of it, Dark Side of the Moon, Pink Floyd, rock and roll itself, was all a grand mixture of gibberish and brilliance.
