Roger Waters, er, ah, that is, Richard Wright, not Roger Waters, of Pink Floyd fame, croaks at age 65.......Jake (a long time huge Floyd fan) - edited to correct brain-fart ************************* LONDON – A Pink Floyd spokesman says founding member Richard Wright has died. He was 65. Wright died Monday after a battle with cancer at his home in Britain. His family did not want to give more details about his death. The spokesman is Doug Wright, who is not related to the artist. Richard Wright met Pink Floyd members Roger Waters and Nick Mason at college and joined their early band Sigma 6. Sigma 6 eventually became Pink Floyd and Wright wrote and sang some of the band's key songs. He wrote "The Great Gig In The Sky" and "Us And Them" from Pink Floyd's 1973 "The Dark Side Of The Moon." He left the group in the early 1980s to form his own band but rejoined Pink Floyd for their 1987 album "A Momentary Lapse of Reason." news.yahoo.com/story//ap/20080915/ap_en_mu/eu_britain_pink_floyd_2

Reports of Roger Waters' demise might be premature.

Poor Roger is going to have enough on his plate dealing with the death of Richard Wright without learning that he's died too.

Yep; much like Richard Wright, Harvey Korman is also Comfortably Numb.

For the record, I've completely given up on trying to work the song title "Several Species of Small Furry Animals Gathered Together in a Cave and Grooving with a Pict" into this conversation -- but I certainly don't want to discourage anyone else.

Strangely enough, that's what Richard Wright specified that he wanted done at his funeral. The family gathered up plenty of animals, but had trouble finding a Pict on short notice.

That's probably because none of them edits graphics files on a Macintosh.

I'm sure the surviving members of Pink Floyd feel the same way.

Too bad Syd is already dead; he could have stepped in to fill the void.
