Haha, yeah, Pete would get into some crazy getups sometimes. I liked the old man mask he'd use for "The Musical Box."

How about Gibson suing PRS for making a single-cut guitar? Ridiculous. Seems like Gibson's suing alot of people these days...

How about Roger going into cities in which David, Nick, and Rick had concerts and suing them for using the name 'Pink Floyd'. Talk about ridiculous!

The first time I heard "My Sweet Lord", I was stunned by the similarity, and couldn't believe Harrison could get away with it. He didn't, but it was sad.

So ridiculous, in fact, that it never actually happened.

But yeah, the whole Harrison case was very sad, considering how much he ended up losing (financially and mentally) for unintentionally swiping a few seconds of melody.
