I'm not the sort of person to advocate the use of illegal substances such as cannabis. But if I were, I'd say that one of the most memorable experiences of a certain person, was when he was 19 years old, getting stoned and listening to the entirety of the wall with his brand new NAD 3020 amp pushing the speakers for all that it was worth. Even so, "Wish you were here" has long been my favorite PInk Floyd Album, and possibly my favorite album. The Wall tells a great story, but there is almost an album's worth of great songs, and a little over an album's worth of good songs. -- Larry Colen l...@red4est.com sent from i4est -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
