19.09.08: Ich bin wieder einmal über das letzte Interview von Rick Wright gestoßen, das er im September 2007 Paul Sexton von der Times gab. In dem Artikel kommen auch Guy Pratt und Helen Boulding zu Wort.

 

“I don’t want to be the fastest pianist on the planet, I don’t want to be Dizzy Gillespie, who could play a zillion notes a bar, I’d like to be Miles, who can play one note a bar.”

 

“I really appreciate that I can walk around the streets of London or anywhere and people come up and say 'Thank you for your music.' Not 'Can I have your autograph?’ It's really nice,” he told me. “I don’t want to prove anything, I don't need to go out and advertise myself. I don’t have the ego to do that.”

 

Wright über das Phänomen Pink Floyd:

“God, I don’t understand the whole cult of Floyd,” he told me. “I think all you writers need to talk about that. I know we’ve made some great songs and great music, but I can’t tell you why we’re so popular.”

 

Hier geht es zum kompletten Interview: Rick Wright von Pink Floyd war die Ausnahme der Regel.
