There’s a nice piece<\/a> at the Guardian about the history of perception of Pink Floyd, that glances off history and current projects of various band members. The key thing is that apparently I don’t have to be embarrassed about knowing all the words to The Final Cut anymore.<\/p>\n

“My big fight in Pink Floyd,” Waters once told me, “was to try and drag it, kicking and screaming, back from the whimsy that Syd was into – as beautiful as it is – into my concerns, which were more political and philosophical.
