Pink Floyd fans of all ethnicity, sexes, and generations,
This is my second post altogether, and by far the greatest of ideas. I've read the negativity and the hopes of there ever being a Pink Floyd tour, album, or even a Pink Floyd reunion tour with an open mind. However, it has been several months since I've felt something, or moreso had a vision. Keep this post in mind with all of your hearts and hold it with some blind faith. But it is that hope that can keep us loving Floyd more and more.

It all began early in the second semester of my first year of college. I've been working hard on a research paper about the changes of leadership and the musical influences throughout Floyd's immaculate reign of the pop charts. Anyways, while I was half-asleep in bed in my dorm, listening to the local rock radio station 105.9 The Rock, I heard a major announcement over the news. The words that caught my attention were "Former bassist of Pink Floyd, Roger Waters..." I felt that was enough to get out of bed and turn the volume slightly higher. The annoucement continued saying that "Roger Waters had an unexpected accounter by Nick Mason, and they talked for hours about old times. Roger's commented on deciding to bury the bone and let by gones be by gones and begin a new friendship with the band." I literally ran throught the dorm in my boxers and yelled that Waters and Floyd aren't mad each other anymore."

Waters and Floyd, friends, too good to be true. And I began to think about Floyd, their future, and what could be instore for us. I remembered what Mason said about Floyd more than likely ever getting back together again (I read it from this sight in the news section) and I remember such comments by David Gilmour saying "The only reason that such bands as The Eagles ever got back together again was because they needed the money. As you can see, I'm already pretty wealthy." And I remember someone saying that Gilmour said that Floyd "was getting too old to tour again." However, I got a strange feeling and that something in me told me that Floyd will get together again...not soon, but late 2003. I couldn't believe it, but it came back to me again. What made things more interesting was that someone on here made the outrageous claim that he heard Floyd would reunite in 2003, but that was shot-down by negativity and pessimism, like Mason.

Yet, the thought still remains, and even grows stronger. As for Gilmour's claim of being too old, remember that Waters is still touring the world, and he's slightly older than most of them. I believe that all of these negative words said by Floyd is just a diversion. I know how Pink Floyd loves their fans, simply by reading dozens of interviews by the band. Without the fans, Floyd might not have succeeded as long as they have. There have been many instances where Floyd was about to quit (especially after having lost Barrett, and the management; the heated court battle; etc.)

To make a long story short, here is what I believe whole heartedly Floyd will do. As soon as Waters finishes his world tour, they will gather and collaborate on a final album. The endall album of course. And Floyd will remain very secretive about this for a year or more. But don't lose faith, they will come back, the full band together, for one final world tour. I only hope that Bob Ezrin, Michael Kamen, and Storm Thorgerson will help the band out again. And maybe even Snowy White (guitarist for Waters and one of the members of the Surogate Band) will help out as well. And don't think that Floyd knows they cannot leave without a grand finale; Echoes may be a great album, but fails to have the clench that the band's grand design has. Remember people, Floyd loves its fans, and will not leave them hungry for long.

God bless and shine on,
