yesterday i can be honest and say its one of 3 times ive really been touched by an artists death – the previous 2 were elvis and john lennon

(i hadnt really connected with led zep when bonham died ditto with ac dc when bon scott died and again when randy roads got killed)

so when i heard yesterday morning via nme online first then a flurry of rss feeds i went to google

what amazed me was that yesterday afternoon every fan site and news agency had the news, david gilmours had a front page thing about it but roger waters was plugging his tour and neither the uk or the us official sites had fuck all

today obviously the official sites have got off their arses but even then you can see the difference in attitude:
