Re: rick wright

As a great fan of Roger's deliciously beautiful work, I appreciate THE WAY in which you made your opening statement about Rick (it was wonderfully condescending and I really do love that!).

BUT I do not appreciate the statement itself. Now I already said I'm a fan of Roger's first and foremost, but have you ever wondered WHY Rick had a coke problem (allegedly)? I'll give you two guesses...

Also, what makes you think Roger wrote all the songs? He wrote damn good lyrics, but that man is just not so great at writing actual music. Dave and Rick, on the other hand, ARE great at writing music. Put them all together and you've got what we all know and love as pre-1983 Pink Floyd.

So knock off the Rick-bashing! He's a little cutie-pie with a great ear for music and as what_rog_wants said, he was the one to tune Roger's bass during shows!
