My musical tastes run the gamut of the musical spectrum and in this time of grieving over the unexpected death of my musical idol Prince, I have turned to many different artists seeking solace in their music. While this has worked for the most part, occasionally I run into a song or video that throws a curve ball my way that I wasn't expecting. Like the one I posted below. Now, I am a huge Pink Floyd fan and have been for years so when I saw a video for David Gilmour playing Comfortably Numb, I thought great. I love the song and that is exactly how I feel right now. Win - win for me! Yeah, well, not so fast there sport. I should have actually read the damn article. Gilmour was playing a show at Royal Albert Hall in London to benefit the Teenage Cancer Trust. Just when he gets to the second guitar solo is when he decides to throw me for a loop, check it out.
Yes, he just played the Purple Rain solo and they even had the stage lights go purple to go along with it. He just gave Prince a tribute and never uttered a single word. Now I really am numb!!! Amazing. Thank you, David Gilmour, for honoring the musical icon the world lost!!!!
