Phil Lesh is the best music writer. Richard Wright may or may not have been incredibly smart for not legally being a member of Pink Floyd from 1980 onward. I agree with Roger Ebert for once. Bear knows a thing or two about sound reenforcement after going mostly deaf in one ear. EMI helps create the first internet conspiracy theories in rock. The Dead ditch the jug band thing after seeing "Hard Day's Night." Star of the film dies in the middle of bench press. Douglas Adams makes an appearance in the name of "The fundamental interconnectedness of all things" and $5,000 of Floyd's money. Stuff blows up in slow motion. Weir and Garcia have a pointed back-and-forth with their front-of-house feedback. Roger Waters does his best Italian accent and makes sure all the 1970 soundtrack tapes are reused in future song demos.    All this and more, in today's educational whirlwind of sound and flerp. Flerp means words, I guess.    Choose your preferred method of supporting the show for no money or maybe some money: PayPal: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/whatsamatta Monthly exclusive Rock History bonus feed here https://www.patreon.com/rockfilmrock (currently paused until end of this month) Shirt designs with defeatist messaging delivered via bright colors and childish graphics: https://www.bonfire.com/store/justtheworstshirtsever/ Subscribe to me on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCV4Up7xGgjioEC07bjwu4mQ Follow on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/justtheworstever/ Send me an email with show suggestions: [email protected] Suicide Prevention, Text/Call: 988 https://afsp.org/ National Sexual Assault Hotline 1-800-656-4673 https://www.rainn.org/resources
