Last week Congress passed the war supplemental appropriations bill. In an affront to all those who thought they voted for a peace candidate, the current president will be sending another $106 billion we don't have to continue the bloodshed in Afghanistan and Iraq, without a hint of a plan to bring our troops home. Many of my colleagues who voted with me as I opposed every war supplemental re...

It's impressive how 'psychedelic' Pink Floyd were in ’67 and ‘68. A fish-eye lens, a couple of trinkets and the glass house at Kew Gardens could make you seem on the bleeding edge of NOW.The English have always had a penchant for a bit of foppery but Floyd raided the dressing-up box with serious intent.

It mellowed me out better than a dose of...

The Final Cut is the final Pink Floyd studio album to feature Roger Waters. The album is predominantly the work of Waters (similar to The Wall, but far more so), this being the only Pink Floyd album on which the composers' credit on every track is given to Waters alone, with no songwriting credits given to any other member of the band. Keyboardist Rick Wright played no part in the recording o...

Believe it or not, I received my first earful of Pink...
