Happy 80th Birthday to the incomparable @davidgilmour.
"Great civilizations have risen and fallen in the time that it has taken for one of David Gilmour's notes to decay."
“By giving us the cup to drink, Jesus is saying that in loving us God bleeds for us—not ‘even though’ we don't give a damn, but precisely because we don't. God keeps his part of the covenant whether we keep our part or not.” Buechner
I started listening to Pink Floyd for the first time a few weeks ago and I think The Wall is one of the greatest works of art (of any kind) of the last century.
I have listened to it countless times over the past month and it’s really on the level of any incredible long poem or symphony.
Most people probably already know this, but if you haven’t listened, please do from start to finish—it is one of the most incredible things ever.
@allrockmusic “Dogs”…Gilmour at his absolute peak.
The acoustic intro is crisp. The electric solos soar, then snarl.
49 years later…and it never gets old.
