I think he feels Gilmour's wife is too old Dolph.

It happens when someone is young and has difficulty understanding.

I seem to remember some people thinking he was too old for something.

I guess it's all perspective.

Nate,

I don't know what he is too old for?

In watching the DVD it is very evident that David hasn't lost any of his skill as a Guitarist...maybe even gotten better !

He has 4 children w Polly so I think he is still virile.

His new music is exploratory , edgey and is in the vain of Pink Floyd sound and Lyric.

He has lost most all of his hair .....can't hold that against him.

Perspective is indeed at work here

This comment IMO

Like any good " Musical Icon " worth his salt, at 64 he has a pretty , younger wife.

Her name is Polly and manages to be in most of the film other than the live performances.

Illegitimizes the womans significant contribution to Gilmour's music

if she was indeed just arm candy she would be 26 not 49

I heard this Song in a friends car once, I had never heard of Pink Floyd, I fell in love with the music the 1st time I heard it
and have been a fan ever since.

This Song was the 1st I had ever heard of from Pink Floyd, it will always be a favorite.

Learning to fly - Pink Floyd (High Quality)

And the official "Pulse" DVD is a personal favorite, I have seen it Hundreds of times and I still get Goosebumps everytime
I watch it.

Gilmour is an awesome guitarist, but Waters was always the genius. I collected every album on cd and vinyl heading through puberty and even painted the screaming head from the wall on my ceiling (mom was unhappy but appreciated the art of it) as well as many other surfaces and stood in line for about 5 hours to spend my entire expendable cash (hey, I was 14) on Waters' tickets... so I consider myself a bit of an authority on the subject

The only problem is that after your grow out of your self indulgent stage, Waters' lyrics just leave you feeling a bit too much like a whiny little pregnant dog sometimes... and that's where Gilmour's guitar comes in. Either way, they were a hell of a team and a sad remnant of it solo. sad that I never got to see Wright perform though $:-\$

on that note, @spankyduc, "Learning to Fly" is a damn good song, but its NOT Floyd.

she's 49 and writes half his lyrics

Actually, he only lets her write the prepositions and adverbs. Plus, I hear he gets quite upset at the sight of a dangling participle.

Big fan of Floyd (By the way, which one's Pink?)

Very true. It's a decent song on its own, but it's not really Floyd material. One of those radio anomalies.

My tastes tend more toward the obscure, and I have a thing for well-done covers.

The Blue Man Group does a phenomenal cover of "One Of These Days" if you get the chance to see their "How To Be A Megastar" show. I give it as many thumbs up as I have at my disposal. Right now, that's three.

Funny, I thought the Wall was the worst album they produced as a group.

Listen to some "Floydian Propulsion Project" for some interesting variations on some of PF's best work.

When my neighbor popped in a cassette

of The Wall, I was totally blown away. I couldn't keep my ear off Run Like Hell and David's sound.

After

following them, and reaching back to their early material and checking out their videotapes

(Live at Pompeii blew me away), I'd have to say the direction of the band under Waters went a little too far on the darker, dreary side (Final Cut comes to mind). Yeah, Waters' lyrics were notable, but the Floyd sound was missing. Thanks for the rescue by David IMO.
