Pink Floyd member Richard Wright dies at age 65

LONDON (AP) — A Pink Floyd spokesman says founding member Richard Wright has died. He was 65.

Wright died Monday after a battle with cancer at his home in Britain. His family did not want to give more details about his death. The spokesman is Doug Wright, who is not related to the artist.

Richard Wright met Pink Floyd members Roger Waters and Nick Mason at college and joined their early band Sigma 6.

Sigma 6 eventually became Pink Floyd and Wright wrote and sang some of the band's key songs. He wrote "The Great Gig In The Sky" and "Us And Them" from Pink Floyd's 1973 "The Dark Side Of The Moon."

Woody Allen

I saw the film Vicky Cristina Barcelona the other night. Very good film. Woody is definitely one of my top ten people in Hollywood. He puts out a film every year. Some are hit or miss, but a lot of classics. And Annie Hall is one of my favorite comedies. How many Woody Allen films have you seen?: Woody's films

Somebody dropped a dime on ole Tater Salad

Last night Ron White was arrested in Florida for possession of pot after an an anonymous tipster told Vero Beach Police detectives an airplane would be landing at 5 p.m. at the city’s airport with a passenger carrying illegal drugs.
Here is my question. I wonder if he told the cops "They call me tater salad" ?

"Weird Al" Wednesday - 9/10

I really don't have a song idea today so I won't force it. It's been a slow news week anyway. We can sing about Britney Spears' triumphant return to MTV's Video Music Awards or Kim Jong il taking a turn for the worse? Let me know if you have any good lyrics. Happy Wednesday.
