Psychologist dissects Pink Floyd's 'Dark Side of the Moon'


I never get tired of learning more about this seminal work by one of my favorite artists of all time.

Interesting views here.

Some seem to be in the "leave it alone, we already know everything" camp, and other's in the "I learned something new" camp. 

As with most forms art, once the work is released into the wild it takes on a life of it's own. Each individual, each generation interprets it's meaning based on their own biases and life experiences. 

What we "think" we understand about Dark Side today says more about US THAN THEM ; )  

never been my favorite album... unfortunately overproduced.  I like it, but am less enthralled than many.  

I prefer Animals, and the earlier Floyd as well.

The Wall is drudgery, with some redeeming tracks.  I also have not ever been enamored of Wish You Were Here.

Happy Birthday @ 50!  Psychologist huh?  I just Enjoyed the album. Even after it played on a turntable on repeat throughout the night in college.  It alternated with Santana Abraxas. 

Listen to Dan Rather's interview with Roger Waters on AXS tv. Not as cranky and insensitive as you may think. In fact deeply intellectual and committed to his beliefs. You may not agree with them all but you will understand how he got there.

I found it to be one of Dan's better interviews with rock stars on "The Big Interview".
