GET3's POP & Pink Floyd
GET3's pop was GET2. (<--If that needs explaining, log off now and go back to your finger painting!) I used "was" because he (GET2) passed awhile back. As a teenager and adult I did not have much to do with GET2. Many reasons why, some his and some mine. Of course GET2 gave me token gifts through out his life. There's four things GET2 gave me that I will have for the rest of mine. My name, Greek god-like great looks, no history of balding, and my love of Pink Floyd. GET2 had many highs and lows in his life. He went from a custom built house to a 20x10, cold, one car garage. Pink Floyd sounded great in both locations to him. I think there is a rule, or maybe a law in some states, that you are not allowed to like your parents music. I'm guilty. I'm guilty of knowing every lyric of "Wish you were here" and "The Wall" albums at age 13. I was also guilty of being a terrible influence on JCE and CWF. "You will not go over to GET3's house! He listens to Pink Floyd. That's the music of the devil!" (<--I can't remember if that was Mamma Fick or Mrs. Uptight to good for everyone Eledge.) Tuesday I did my all day Richard Wright tribute. Richard was the keyboardist of Pink Floyd and he just died, of cancer, at his home at age 65. I took my box set of Cd's, almost all of Pink Floyd's work, and played them all day. I specifically listened for the keyboard, to honor Richard. He was one of the founding members of GET2 and myself favorite band. Now I know that GET2 won't be at the front of the line to welcome Richard. GET2 will let Richard see his family, friends, and his favorite band members. A week from now Richard, I bet GET2 will come a knocking. Now GET2 had his reasons and I had mine, but we can agree we have great taste in music. Oh yea, I almost forgot. Tell Richard "Shine on you crazy diamond" and "Thanks" for me GET2....... (I copied this post and sent it to DAVIDGILMOUR.COM and PINKFLOYD.COM.UK . Who knows, someone might pass it along or even read it.)
