I remember . . . referring to Krazy Kat as 'you Krazy Diamond . . .'
comfortably dumb works for me right now. My mind has been destroyed by these ECT treatments - how dare they refer to this as therapy! I feel lower that I ever have before and add to that my memories are a jumble of bits and pieces which I am told will one day fall back to earth as a complete picture. (I would gladly have sacrificed the cohesive picture for a view from a balcony overlooking depression, rather than my spot in the midst of the cheap seats)
On second thought, I can't subscribe to the 'comfortable' part. I am anything but comfortable right now.
Where was i going with this? Oh yeah . . . Pink Floyd. In 1969 I was at university in a west coast Canadian city. We heard Pink Floyd was giving a free concert on Sat. night and even though at that time, they were a pretty unknown group of musicians, the idea of 'free' was hard to resist. We went to this old building known as the 'Gardens' and saw this group of guys nailing down the drum kit, setting up monitors and so on. Suddenly, they picked up guitars and announced in this whisper, "Hi. We're the band" and launched into two and a half hours of non stop Pink Floyd.
Sorry for the long winded story, but the comfortably dumb post just set my mind to wandering . . .
