Me and Pink Floyd: that is deliberately bad grammar
As I said, 1973 when Pink FLoyd released Dark Side of th eMoon, I am pretty sure that I had no idea who Pink FLoyd was, elthough mey memoires of that yerar do not extend much beyond some eight grade techers, the Nixon stuff and oil boycott, Dorney Park Amuesement park and getting ready for hisgh school, an the ability to paly high shcool football. I'm guessing that since Floyd' Money made it big as a single, I must have heard it..
Remewmber that The year s9173 wasould not turn out oto bea stellar one in US history
I am also prtty sure that high school pased with not much reconginction of FLoy's work, and rememberm by the time that I graduate din 1977, they had relased, Dark Side, Wish you were hra and meddle. I am pretty sure that the big rock badsns in the middle 197s in rural Ameirca were Kiss, Aerosmith, Led Zeppelin and maybe theRollign Stones, I know that they all had very big summer tours going on back then. Aerosmtih was eerywhere, espwcially the Toys in the Attic album. That was great music.I remember trading a Beatles blue album for Aersomtith (8 track!) Other bans around back then Were Led Zepplein and Kiss. Now certainly ,y memory is not exaclt air clad anymeore abot thsoe years, but there is clearly no memory of Floyd.
College brought me intro diret cotnacnt tiwht Pink FLoyd, almost daily contacrt. Bu the college years were an endless round of listening to the Doors, Dire Straits, and Pink FLoyd, especially Pink Floyd
A band that I never got a chance to se live in concert

The wall
Animals
how much they were played in our rooms. Two of my rfriends actually painted there dorm room black soto better fit twith the music that we listedn too. You could listen to echoes for hours, although it was only about 22 minutes long.
Mirroring thw ay that I divided up the career =of Pink floyd i rerally howe my life an dfloyd intracted with them. I hardly knoew of them before college, I knoew an awful lot of them wahile I was an undergdauate in cllghe and through maybe the early 80s, but once I got knee depp in grad school and writing a dissertaiton I los tttrack of them This was also when they were doing their solo carrers.
Then there was the Live 8 concert, wish I could have been there; There was also the wall concert to celebaret the tearing down of th eBerlin Wall. a rare meeting point of rock music with historical reality.
ps. Pink FLoyd should have had at least four ablbums on the ROllign Stone top 500 of all time, SDark Side (43), Animals, Wish You were here, Meddle and the Wall (87). What a stupid list. Who in the world comes up tieh #8 London Calling THE CLASH when Zep is no tin the top 10. See for yourself at
pps. Then there is th epoint about the most albnum sales ever. See, List of best-selling albums worldwide. Dark Side puts to shame most of those that it is groupe dwith.
