I miss the boys
I just finished watching a documentary on the making of Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon, and I have a massive pang of longing for the many, many, many nights I spent with the boys, listening to that album, completely high as a kite, and blissfully happy being carried by the music.
That was 15 years ago now. Things, it seems, were a whole lot simpler. No mortgage, no kid, surrounded by friends and with my whole life ahead of me.
Now don’t get be wrong, I’m not saying my life now isn’t as good, in different ways, but sometimes it feels a hell of a lot more complicated.
Roger Waters, The Wall, O2 Arena
Phil and I went to see Roger Waters perform The Wall in London last night, and the show lived up to expectations – even considering that I’d already seen it in Ottawa. They’d revamped some of it, which was a fun touch. Because of the tablets I’m currently taking, I couldn’t follow through with my original intent, but it was a great show nonetheless.
We’d decided to have a boys day out in town. We had lunch at a really nice sushi and noodle restaurant I’d seen online, called Taro, where I had a huge bowl of beef ramen. They didn’t kill me, which is a big plus. I need to bring Katy there next time we’re in town. Phil had never been to the British Museum and I’m always looking for a reason to pop in, so that was a nice way to kill a few hours. After that, we had a bit of a sit down in a pub and then headed back to the O2 to pick up the tickets and wait out the show opening. It was amusing to note that the average age of the concert goers was above 40, with some actually closer to their sixties and seventies :)

I can only hope to be this awsome when I’m 65
Roger Waters and David Gilmour have been involved in a bitter stand-off for a number of years but were reunited once again for a gig at London’s O2 Arena. Pink Floyd drummer Nick Mason was also on stage for the tour’s first of six nights in London, on May 12th. Gilmour’s surprise appearance was as a thank you to Waters who had previously accompanied him at a small charity gig. The solo tour sees The Wall being played live in the UK for first time in 30 years.
I have tickets to go see the show on the 17th. I missed out on the reunion gig, dagnabbit, but I’m still really looking forward to seeing the show.
And I know that I’m never going to be that awsome when I’m in my sixties.
Note to self
Pink Floyd, like tea, makes everything better.
Flergh
I'm listening to The Wall. No good can come of this…
