\"Pink<\/a>Up until the summer of 1984, Pink Floyd <\/em>was synonymous with Dark Side Of The Moon<\/em> for me. I knew that they were more than that. I had even heard Confortably Numb <\/em>at Chip’s house way back in the Academy Days<\/em>. In August if 1984, my concept of Pink Floyd\u00a0<\/em> would be expanded and \u00a0The Wall<\/em> would be the instrument of that expansion.<\/p>\n

Back then, there was a 2 screen movie theater next to Glenbrook Mall. It was called Glenbrook Cinema but it wasn’t attached to the mall proper. It just occupied a piece of the parking lot where a Super Target now stands. The great thing about this little theater was their willingness to run Midnight Movies. <\/em>They did this frequently and whether or not they were trying to capitlaize on MTV, the midnight movies often were of a musical nature. Films like Led Zeppelin’s Song Remains The Same<\/em>,\u00a0 Rocky Horror Picture Show<\/em>, some\u00a0 movie about an assault on a radio station that was really just a bunch of music videos strung together, and of course Pink Floyd’s The Wall.<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/em>Was it fate or destiny that I should see The Wall<\/em> at this particular point in my life? Maybe it was just bad timing. I didn’t know it at the time but The Wall<\/em> would be a central fixture in My Musical Evolution<\/em> for several weeks. On that night, it was just a great audio visual experience.\u00a0 The next day, I bought the album and devoured it not knowing that a couple weeks later it<\/em> would consume me<\/em>.<\/p>\n
