It's difficult to explain why I love *Pink Floyd* as much as I do but I try ...

Mother 4 Justice - Elizabeth Robillard blogs and shares truth and information


They have given me a permanent anchor to the love I've known and the love that is/ has been authentic. 

Love includes associations and familiarity - a reason why Identity is so important to all liberty-seekers and freedom lovers. Nothing like the imperfect soul to bring joy to the lives of everyone. How I wish Syd Barret was still here. 

I used to hang out with The NICE as a nipper in Kensington. A great British band, undervalued. They were neighbours (friends) Amazing talent.  Davy was the guitarist. Wonder what happened to him and to Suzanne and Pauline O'list? (Hugs)  Love them like sisters them two.  One of them thought my ma fancied their dad, Reg (an old friend of my mum's from the days of the Windmill Theatre, great Spanish guitarist)  but she didn't. Was a lush on a Sunday but otherwise very virtuous. Keith Emerson was keyboards plus (and some)

Suzy made me eat flowers, made me feel sick but was still a laugh. I will always remember her taking me to Keith Emerson's South Kensington bedsit and watching him practice knife throwing at a dartboard. Rock 'n Roll history that. I thought Keith was incredible. Real magic. 

So many great musicians I've known. Very fortunate me. Sending love and power to you guys.

 Now looking forward to Pink Floyd's new album in November 'Endless River'. Gods.   Beatles and the Floyd, absolute wondrous gods. And you know where they get inspiration? (Aside from England and it's identity) from Berlioz - Rock n Roll ain't just Chuck Berry and Muddy Waters, nor just Otis or Diddly inspired. 

Memories are not just Stevie Ray (R.I.P) but also classical. So if you are into Rock 'n Roll as well, remember to read your Percy Shelley and your Dante too - but above all, be inspired by Berlioz and Benjamin Britten, Wordsworth and Keats. Maybe a tad of Dylan Thomas too. R. Burn's for the weekends.

There's quite a few groovers into the good stuff - and not enough British, bright and educated kids, get the proper support they need.  After school tuition stuff might help? My bro was a guitar and piano teacher and was always booked up - give it a go? We should be helping young musicians everywhere. Music is the bank of the soul, the funding of life's morality.

 We must get it right and inspire correctly as the Floyd know too well - still the best band and most sold sounds (next to Beatles) - the Stones are also good sometimes. Love their later stuff, especially 'Doom and Gloom' - impossible to keep still with that on and also strikes many chords with me.  Reject ageing guys, you all have so much to give- please support young musicians and ensure they understand your messages. Lots of love Inanna :D
