More sad news for the aging hippies among us yesterday evening, with the announcement of the death of Richard (Rick) Wright of Pink Floyd.
I have to find a tax connection, so make of this
what you will: it’s probably topical in view of corporate emigrations and the non-dom and residence changes, but I’ll let you decide about the politics of it.
And I guess, as one of the people behind The Dark Side of the Moon, the record that spent the longest period in the Billboard 200 highest selling music albums, that the Revenue had reason to be grateful to him and his fellow band members.
In the meantime, why not take a few minutes to forget about tax and what better epitaph than ‘The great gig in the sky’.

‘And I am not frightened of dying. Any time will do; I don't mind.
‘Why should I be frightened of dying? There's no reason for it — you've gotta go sometime.’
Rest in peace to someone who brought such listening pleasure to so many.
