David Gilmour: David Gilmour (1978)

Untitled
This is David Gilmour's first solo LP, released in 1978. I guess he has some time between Animals and The Wall to get this record together. Regarding the former, Allmusic makes this truly bizarre statement: "Certainly it's much more approachable than Animals, released earlier that year..." [source] I disagree, Animals is magnificent. This record is OK, pleasant even, but it is not in the same league as Animals.

Eating Glass & Other Dreams

OK, so once again, I had a dream in which I was eating glass. The dream focussed more on the after affects of eating glass, like trying to expel the endless stream of it from my mouth with as little damage as possible. To make matters slightly more complicated, I was spitting the stuff out while cycling and trying to keep up with the person ahead of me. This was not your average glass, but that fine thin glass one finds in expensive wine glasses, if that matters. I have had this dream many times over the years. Yes, I have looked at online dream sites, but I am not convinced of the interpretation.

Another curious dream featured David Gilmour (the musician, not the writer), who, while fulfilling his rock and roll duty as main guy in Pink Floyd was also a star member of Britain's National Football club. Aware that he was shunning the queen by not playing in a key match, he put on his guitar and joined Floyd on stage while wearing his football jersey & cleats. By the way, this was the younger long-haired Gilmour. I have no idea if Roger Waters was there or not.

Hmmm.....
