Re: (TV) Floyd

["Russ Van Rooy" <russvr@blarg.net>]

Pink Floyd is such a cool band ! And I don't even own "The Wall"  ... I love
Saucerful of Secrets and Ummagumma . I have to hear Intersteller Overdrive
at least once a week . I love echo-y sounding guitar .  I mostly like them
from their beginning in '67 to Dark Side. Pink Floyd does not remind me much
of Television - on the surface - but I bet some arguments could be made....
How about Roger Waters and Tom Verlaine - could it be possible that they
share some pretty fundamental personality traits ? Ooooh I know I'm gonna
burn in hell for that statement .  But really, I consider both Pink Floyd
and Television to be psychedelic bands  - especially if psychedelic  is used
in the pure meaning of the word - mind expanding. BTW, anyone catch the CNN
World Report blurb on Albert Hoffman last weekend ? I didn't know he was
still alive let alone celebrating 95 years ! Right on Albert - you made a
difference in my life .
