Wednesday’s Intermezzo: Gilmour Said No

For those of you who had been holding out hope that Pink Floyd would reform with David Gilmour on guitar and Roger Waters on bass, we’ve got some bad news. Gilmour told the AP: “”There have been all sorts of farewell moments in people’s lives and careers which they have then rescinded, but I think I can fairly categorically say that there won’t be a tour or an album again that I take part in.”

Gilmour explained that while he enjoyed playing Live 8 with Waters in 2005 the rehearsals reminded him why they had a falling out in the first place. Bummer!

What’s not a bummer are these terrific links we’ve found…
