Re: Floyd founder Wright dies at 65
Also very saddened to hear about Rick's death. He often stood in the shadows of Waters and Gilmour and was never venerated for his craft the way Emerson or Rick Wakeman was, but when you listen to DSOTM or Wish You Were Here, his presence was undeniable and larger than life. I remember being very pleased when The Division Bell came out, to see that he was once again listed as a Floyd member. And reading his take on being fired shortly before the tour for The Wall and how he aspired every night to go out and play his heart out as a "thank you" to his fans, Pink Floyd was his life and the band defined him as much as he defined the band.

One huge brick has truly been removed from Music's wall.
