I also said that an earthquake of that magnitude only ever happens once in a thousand years and it wasn't the earthquake that caused the problems but the unprecedented tsunami that breached the 10 metre sea wall and engulfed the standby diesel generators.

    I think it is a great gesture for Gilmour to donate his guitars and amps for such a great cause that is also far too under-rated.

    Pink Floyd was such a unique band with such unique style, they had to come up with a genre just for them- Psychedelic Blues Rock.

    And everyone knows that Gilmour was the ultimate Psychedelic Blues Rock guitarist.

    I personally wasn't much of a follower of Pink Floyd until they released the greatest album in the history of rock music- Dark Side Of the Moon. To me, all of their albums previous to that point were non-melodic psychedelic fluff. And I give Alan Parsons most of the credit for the success of The Dark Side Of The Moon for producing and engineering the project.

    Alan Parsons showed them how to scrap their old non-melodic scrappy tones, and create one of the most beautiful patented melodic tones known in rock music.

    Whatever was learned from Alan Parsons in the making of The Dark Side Of The Moon by the band, continued throughout their long and successful recording career.

    I refused to even go they are that bad.
    I'll never go as well. LB created the whole FM sound which was uniquely theirs.
    Abortion rights dogma can obscure human reason & harden the human heart so much that the same person who feels
    empathy for animal suffering can lack compassion for unborn children who experience lethal violence and excruciating
    pain in abortion.

    Unborn animals are protected in their nesting places, humans are not. To abort something is to end something
    which has begun. To abort life is to end it.

    No doubt the money will go towards paying Al Gore's electricity bill.

    I fully support private citizens using their own money / resources to engage in "the fight against global warming". Good for Gilmour for putting his money where his big fat mouth is. Just keep government mandates and taxes out of it.

    Yes. Gilmour's made out alright in an "evil" capitalist system.
    Abortion rights dogma can obscure human reason & harden the human heart so much that the same person who feels
    empathy for animal suffering can lack compassion for unborn children who experience lethal violence and excruciating
    pain in abortion.
