He was working on an instrumental album before he died. :( I could listen to him for hours on end.

You wanna hear strange?

I was just going through some old stuff on my DVR to record to dvd, and I have a thing from VH1 Classic from last year, "David Gilmour: The Road to the Royal Albert Hall"

At the end of the thing, they had a "This date in music"...

It turns out I recorded it September 15th, LAST YEAR. Rick's last tour. Recorded one year to the day before he died. (Also four years after Johnny Ramone...)

To me, "Wearing the Inside Out" was a song that had been -begging- to come out of him for years and years. In my mind, that is one of the best songs off of Division Bell, and I wish they had done it live on the tour.

His vocals had never really deteriorated over the years, as can be heard on the Pulse version of "Time."

He shall be sorely missed.

Strangely enough, that pic looks like a friend of mine in his UMass days...
