Audio: WFWF guest appearance

Posted October 31, 2014 by Floydian Slip

Audio from our weekly guest appearance on Chicago’s 103.9 The Fox (WFXF), chatting with morning guy and Floyd fan Sherman, wherein we lament David Gilmour’s reluctance to tour; but give him a break, because he’s an older guy with a comfortable nest egg who probably wants to spend time with his family.

Listen to the segment:

Roger Waters falls; knocked unconscious

Posted October 29, 2014 by Floydian Slip

The NY Post reports Pink Floyd’s Roger Waters attended the Oct. 23 Long Island Music Hall of Fame induction ceremony with a black eye and stitches.

Though he joked he got into a fight with a bottle of tequila the night before — “and the bottle won” — apparently he actually fell in his bathroom, hit his head, and was knocked unconscious.

The paper says Waters was at the NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital/Columbia emergency room until 5 a.m. the day of the event.
