Aliens abduct Pink Floyd Keyboardist?
Monday, September 15th, 2008Please don’t feed the conspiracy!
While it is true that Pink Floyd’s keyboard player/vocalist Richard Wright passed away today, there is no truth to the rumors that he was abducted by aliens. I overheard some human speculation today that suggested some other-worldly beings were looking for a talented, experienced musician to jam with them later this week, so they came down to the AlienZoo and took Richard Wright of Pink Floyd fame - or possibly to reunite him with former Pink Floyd frontman Syd Barrett, who definitely was abducted in the late 1960s and replaced by a working clone of himself (just kidding about that last part).
Anyway, I made some calls to verify that just in case any conspiracy theories about Richard Wright’s death would crop up in the next few days.
I will acknowledge that humans and all of us down here in the AlienZoo lost a true source of inspiration in Richard Wright. When they say that Pink Floyd was “first in space” they had no idea how true that really was.
