Floyd, Comma Pink
What happens when you marry a librarian? She tries to alphabetize your music! This is what I did when I first got married and I'll never forget how hard my husband laughed when he saw that I put Pink Floyd under Floyd, Pink.
I went to a concert the other day. Friends of ours are musicians and since their last name happens to be Wood, they host a "Woodstock" every year at their home. There are always a number of bands, the quality of the music is excellent, and it's a always a fun day. A lot of "old rock music" is played -- and I did comment that I wasn't too fond of Pink Floyd the first time around. It always surprises me that it's still being played today.
The founder of Pink Floyd, Syd Barrett, died today. Clearly, his music didn't die with him. I guess that both librarians and musicians are both cultural archivists, each in our own way.
