Roger Waters is bracing himself for more legal action as he prepares to sue Paul McCartney for stealing Roger's catchphrase "Kisses On The Bottom" for Paul's covers album.

In addition to being an aficionado of cars and motor racing, Nick Mason had a vast collection of Doc Martens that he would keep in a shed not too far from where he stayed with his first wife, Lindy.

The current 'The Wall' tour is Waters's way to become the captain of Pink Floyd again. :lol:

This one's actually true and a highly guarded secret: Roger wrote all of the lyrics for The Division Bell ;-)

Roger further tried to dent Pink Floyd's comeback success by trying to write songs for New Kids On The Block.
But his efforts were thwarted when the band kept saying "What's a war?" and "Who's Thatcher?" during the aborted recording sessions.

What made this so different from his time with Pink Floyd? :)

Barrett never actually performed. He was only in Pink Floyd for his good looks. His parts were recorded by unknown session musicians. Problems came when he insisted to be heard. He didn't want to lipsynch any longer, which was his only task. Pink Floyd then decided to turn off the spotlights, making him invisible and obsolete. Later they invited him to be the dancer for 'Shine On Your Crazy Diamond', but abandoned those plans when they saw he was getting bald because of all the perms.
This is the only true story. Barrett told me this personally, yesterday in the supermarket.

David Gilmour played "The Gimp" in Pulp Fiction (the scene in the pawn shop).

The Publius Enigma was actually solved in 1996 by lucky fan Michael Hunt. The prize was a brief phone conversation with David Gilmour himself. Hunt used the opportunity to tell Gilmour that his favourite song had always been "A Spanish Piece". In response, Gilmour reportedly hissed "Piss the fuck off" and hung up.

Hunt was later sent a parcel containing a scathing post card and a (used) pair of Mason's boxers.
