“This is Not a Drill” I’ve seen a lot of concerts in my lifetime, Roger Waters’ trek across America this year is one I’ll never forget. This tour was making up concerts postponed from 2020 due to the pandemic. Outside the venue, I’ve never seen so many trucks outside the venue, which makes sense given … More Roger Waters: 2022 Tour
I got into this spirited back and forth with a guy about Roger Waters and Pink Floyd. The debate was whether most of Pink Floyd’s songwriting credit belongs to Waters. I said no.

Progressive rock didn’t die, it soldiered on but with less popularity as waves of new musical style … More Progressive Rock: Coming in for a Landing
Richard Wright, or Rick Wright as he was sometimes known, didn’t write or sing many Pink Floyd songs, but his keyboards were the cornerstone of the band’s sound.
