Ah, Live at Pompeii. I've still got 12 inch laser disk of it. I love it when Waters tries to stand up and bang the big gong.
This one's mine.
This one's mine.
Yeah well that's just, like, your opinion, man.

Re: Songs for your Funeral
No music at my funeral. Curiously (or maybe not), many other musicians I know feel the same way.
I think that language has a lot to do with interfering in our relationship to direct experience. A simple thing like metaphor will allows you to go to a place and say 'this is like that'. Well, this isn't like that. This is like this.

Re: Songs for your Funeral
These two songs have ranked in my top 10 for a long time. So perhaps them.
