My Uncle Is A Retard
I'm devastated by this news.
Here's a statement David Gilmour put up his site about it,
No one can replace Richard Wright. He was my musical partner and my friend.
In the welter of arguments about who or what was Pink Floyd, Rick's enormous input was frequently forgotten.
He was gentle, unassuming and private but his soulful voice and playing were vital, magical components of our most recognised Pink Floyd sound.
I have never played with anyone quite like him. The blend of his and my voices and our musical telepathy reached their first major flowering in 1971 on 'Echoes'. In my view all the greatest PF moments are the ones where he is in full flow. After all, without 'Us and Them' and 'The Great Gig In The Sky', both of which he wrote, what would 'The Dark Side Of The Moon' have been? Without his quiet touch the Album 'Wish You Were Here' would not quite have worked.
In our middle years, for many reasons he lost his way for a while, but in the early Nineties, with 'The Division Bell', his vitality, spark and humour returned to him and then the audience reaction to his appearances on my tour in 2006 was hugely uplifting and it's a mark of his modesty that those standing ovations came as a huge surprise to him, (though not to the rest of us).
Like Rick, I don't find it easy to express my feelings in words, but I loved him and will miss him enormously.

Fuck... I am totally, utterly devastated... 
Rest in peace, Rick, and infinite thanks for all these many years of timeless music, and for touching the hearts, minds and imagination of millions upon millions of people, both the countless scores of musicians you've influenced and those who just love the sound of truly great music. Your songs will endure in our hearts forever.
I'll see you on the Dark Side of the Moon...

^ My sig doesn't really have anything to do with the death of one of the great musical minds of modern music, period.

No, seriously...
Yep, just another "old faggot", who fucking cares, right? I mean, it's not like Guthrie Effin' Govan died or anything!
uke:That's it man, I can tolerate a helluva lot, but you are a fucking LEGENDARY douche. How fucking EPICALLY sad it must be to have to stumble through life as perpetually close-minded and miserable as you must be to have to come with such puerile, weak shit as that. Grow the fuck up you pathetic, pedantic, pissant fucking assbag.
And with that, welcome to the land of the ignored... CYA!
