I enjoyed listening to Pink Floyd’s Pulse Concert the other day — so much, that I wanted to play “One of These Days” so the next generation could hear what I’m talkin’ bout. Imagine my shock to learn that I never ripped all my Pink Floyd discs on the home PC. Just the one at work. How embarrassing.

I remedied that error at my first opportunity, then I made the next generation listen to “Shine on You Crazy Diamond” and “Money” and “One of My Turns.” I’m saving “Comfortably Numb” until they’ve done something especially good.

By the way, I think “One of these Days” sounded a lot better in concert than it does on Meddle. But I’m a philistine when it comes to such things. I like the improved Star Wars episodes more than the originals. (Mostly.) Although I do like the original Blade Runner compared to the incessant stream of director’s cuts Ridley keeps churning out.
