Pink Floyd.

Richard Wright, the founding member and keyboard player of Pink Floyd, died today at his home after battling cancer. He was 65.

There is no doubt that Pink Floyd was an influential band that emerged in a very important time for rock music.

I will not sit here and say that I was an avid listener of Pink Floyd. I never was. I listened to them form time to time, and I caught some of Roger Waters's performance earlier this year at the Coachella music festival. But I respect their work, and whenever someone in the music community passes, I reflect and want to know more about who they were and what they contributed to the music community.

I found this video on youtube.

Pink Floyd in Pompeii.

enjoy.
