An Overheard Conversation from a Scarborough High School Parking Lot in 1973.
LONG HAIRED GUY 1: Dude! Have you heard the new Floyd? Dark Side of the Moon?
LONG HAIRED GUY 2: I know! It's far out!
LHG1: I was so totally psyched. Last night, I lit up and hit the headphones. When those clocks kicked in I thought my head was going to explode.
LHG2: Dude, it's a total freak out.
LHG1: And the cash register!
LHG2: Freaky-deaky, man. That's Floyd saying that they hate money and they hate corporate success.
LHG1: Right on, brother. Gimme Five! Floyd don't care about making money. After this album I heard they're calling it quits.
LHG2: Here's the skinny, my man, Floyd have been around since 65. Those dudes are getting old and no one lasts more than 8 years in the music business.
LONG HARD GUY 3: Hey is that the new Floyd?
LHG1: Totally.
LHG3: What did you think of all those voices?
LHG2: What voices?
LHG3: The voices!
LHG1: Dude those voices freaked me out. I was tripping.
LHG2: What voices?
LHG3: There's no way anyone could ever pull it off live.
LHG2: What voices, man? I'm scared of the voices?
LHG3: I mean, could you imagine if a band pulled the entire album off live, note for note? Impossible.
LHG1: I have an idea…
LHG2: What voices?
