PERSPECTIVES ON PINK FLOYD BEST ROCK BAND IN HISTORY
Follow my blog with Bloglovin
As I checked the rankings of "the best rock bands in history" from random websites,I did find some gracious complements about Floyd.I have a separate page assigned for posts on Pink Floyd.I have read almost on all topics I could think of about them - The music,the musicians and their ideology.I cant really think of anything horrible they have written.For example - I hated You Could Be Mine from Guns N Roses and I did not like Radio from The Corrs. Despite being a band on experimental,progressive and psychedelic forms of rock,they managed to do it - have one of the largest fan bases of any band in the world!I dont need to say it again that how much I love and LOVE Pink Floyd.I love their music,I love their lyrics,I love their tunes,I love their instrumentals and most importantly - I LOVE THE MUSICIANS. In a post written before,I probably had said I like Roger Waters and David Gilmour more.I was wrong.Its just like one of my friend says "Next to impossible to sort favourites out of Pink Floyd!"They have sold more than 250 million records worldwide.
I originally used to be a David Gilmour fan imagining the real music was brought out by him.I was wrong on that.Without Waters,the band would have lacked all those concepts I simply adore.Moreover he is a frank speaker,even more than Gilmour and though being involved with any political organisation,I have seen left ideals in him,more than in Gilmour who is a leftist.I loved the way Roger spoke about Margaret Thatcher,The Falklands War,Palestine and George W. Bush; no musician on earth would have got guts like that.Richard Wright is great,he seems quite and introvert to me.And thats a big similarity! I like introvert people,they often have a certain depth in them.And he played great,he was a great pianist/keyboardist.And imagine Pink Floyd without drums! It would have been something like - The Catholic Choir instead of Floyd (Note that though I do not support the Catholics except for Catholic Marxists and am not offending any particular religious sect.I dont have any interest in any religious group dwelling on this planet but I am a bit angry about idiots such as Mikhail Gorbachev,Pope John Paul II - yes you heard me right and their behaviour with the newly born band Pink Floyd) THIS POST IS TO BE CONTINUED TOMORROW.

Look What Came in the Mail!
Jack and his classmates each made a flat version of themselves and mailed the little mini-mes to friends and relatives. I was honored to be Jacks chosen host, and received Flat Jack in yesterdays mail. A letter from the teacher instructs me to treat the flat as if Jack were really visiting me. "You are encouraged to take the flat places, take pictures with it and write to the child about the adventures you share..." Jack also included his own letter, and I quote it verbatim:
Dear Ant Cathy,
Thank you for ugrieing to take care of me. Let me watch a-lot of TV and eat lots of frute snacks.
Love,
Jack
So welcome Flat Jack to The Cath in the Hat, where Ill be blogging about our adventures.

What If Sundials Were Invented in the Southern Hemisphere
What If Sundials Were Invented in the Southern Hemisphere?
Sundials are early inventions of human beings for time purposes. The length of the shadow of the stone called obelisk and shadow clock determines the time of the day. According to history, the earliest sundials were invented by the Egyptians and Babylonians. Egypt happens to be located in Northern Hemisphere. What is the relevance of this?
image source
The sundial is the basis for the creation of the clock; hence, we have the terms clockwise and counter-clockwise. Clockwise is the movement of the hour, minute and second hands from left to right in circular motion while counter-clockwise is the movement of the hour, minute and second hands from right to left in circular motion.
The hands of the clock rotate clockwise because sundial, which is the forerunner of the clock, was invented in the Northern Hemisphere. If sundials were invented in Australia or anywhere in the Southern Hemisphere, the clock’s hands movement should have been counter-clockwise or anti-clockwise.
