Pink Floyd really getting back together?

[coloradodem2005]

And if divorce is inevitable in music acts, so are reunions. Fractured '70s super-group Pink Floyd (+163%) is reuniting for Bob Geldof's (+387%) Live 8 (+208%). Searches on the band rose 140%, while interest in former malcontent frontman Roger Waters (+2867%) also rose to (comfortably) numbing heights. Floyd's widely split fan base is one of the more interesting stories surrounding their recent surge in Search. The band's strongest support comes from 13- to 17-year-olds and 35- to 44-year-olds indicating disillusioned teens love 'em, then they move on to something else, then something happens (probably parenthood), and back the fans flock to the dark side of the moon.

1. If Syd Barrett rejoined then I'd be interested.

4. Syd Barrett would definitely be...uh...interesting...

I guess he showed up in the early '90s at a hair dresser's shop looking to record an album. Aparently that was where the music studio used to be where they recorded "Pipers At The Gates Of Dawn".

Yup, adding a freaky burntout psycho could really liven things up a bit wouldn't it?

3. Along with a vast cast of ace supporting musicians, natch. >

God, to think they used to be an adequate quartet...
