Floyd have always been part of our musical history. I lost the tickets for our first gig and we had to wait until everyone else was seated, to find out where we were sitting. The prayers I offered up that no-one else had picked them up somewhere...
And when Mrs.D. first heard the Scissors' cover version of "Comfortably numb", she confessed she wanted to smash the car radio. But then, like me, she reasoned that it's
so different, it's almost
not a cover at all, but a good, poppy tune in its own right. And I'm enjoying the album.
Totally separately from all that, for some reason this morning, on the walk in, it occurred to me that I've never had a lifelong dream. Well, maybe as a lad, when I vowed I'd never spend my life behind a desk, get married and have kids etc. etc. No, I was joining the Royal Navy, me.
By nineteen, I was married and working for a building society and, although procreation was still several years away, had no real aim in life. Events fashioned me, not vice versa.
How 'bout you?
