Ok!! Floyd obsession triggered - run! hide! while you still can!!
Pulse was our anthem album back then - my most prized one complete with the pulsating LED 🙃
Seattle still has this Monday 10pm fixture - Think Pink… We would drive around town while the best ones played all while Sikka* went “Boss! The Gods Are Smiling”...
Well after the girls happened...
“I’m thinking of learning to fly” went the email and within seconds Sikka and I had sent in lyrics to ‘Learning to Fly’ - poor chap actually wanted to learn how to fly... our obsession knew no bounds...
I still regret not watching their last concert (1994... they broke up soon after) in ASU** - Anju and I couldn’t afford two tickets... only to panic the day of the concert!! We simply had to make do with echoes (no pun) outside the Sun Devils stadium...
The Aussie PF is actually quite good - heard them in Seattle back in 2005… and of course the Roger Waters concert in Seattle when Anju was horrified at the second hand grass Arti inhaled 🤓 Seems to have done the trick though since many years later, on a trip back from college she went “Daddy! I love Pink Floyd - High Hopes, Welcome to Machine”…
Of course I was in tears - can you even imagine the feeling when your child shares in your passion?? These are true blessings my friends, true blessings…
‘Terminal Frost’ playing even as I write this… Sigh…
*Sikka: Even more obsessed partner in crime for all things Floyd!!
**ASU: Arizona State University - notably Top-5 on only one list - Party Schools - fine by me!!
