Just one more reason to love Pink Floyd.

Cool!!!! [8D]

I love this quote:

"The bass player and vocalist, who was one of the founding members of Pink Floyd 40 years ago, was also a member of a "œshooting supergroup"� that included Eric Clapton, the guitarist, and Stevie Winwood, the former Traffic singer who is the son of a gamekeeper."

If my own personal guitar hero (Clapton) is a shooter, as well as Stevie Winwood, then that says it all!

England has got to come to grips with reality and let people own firearms and go hunting!

Great!! Now that he's using his brain again, maybe we'll hear him with the rest of Floyd on a new album>

"œI was in Hyde Park for both the Countryside Alliance marches. There were hundreds of thousands of us there. Good, honest English people

Good, honest English people...

The Countryside Alliance hailed Waters as the first person to carry out his threat to leave Britain.

Got stones? Roger does.

Waters said in one interview: "œSome of us are gatherers and some of us are hunters. I"™m a hunter.

"...Then moving in silently
Down wind and out of sight
You've gotta strike when the moment is right without thinking..."

from Dogs - Roger Waters

All in all, it's just A-nother buck on the wall.

Seeing how this is a hunting site...pigs onthe wing. Hey you...Is there anybody out there? No just Empty spaces and Echoes.

You got that right Bernie. Funny thing is that I never saw them in concert. Back in the late 60's and early 70's I used to go to the old Montreal Forum and see all the big concerts. Had an ad for a band called pink Floyd and it was new to me and I told my concert buddies that I would pass on this one. About 6 months later all I heard on rock radio was Floyd and I still kick my butt. It gotto be my favorite band and in the mid 80's I took my Harley on a solo trip through the Maritimes in Canada and tented with a portable cassette player...Animals, DSOTM and Wish You Were Here. Ahhh the memories and music.
