Headline Act: Pink Floyd

Monday, February 10 & Friday, February 147/6c pm & 4/3c pm VH1 Classic (North America) premieres “Headline Act” with Pink Floyd on Monday, February 10. The hour-long block includes classic Pink Floyd videos and a brand new interview with David Gilmour. During the hour, Gilmour sets the record straight on the meaning of “Another Brick In The Wall Part 2”- “I think regaling the world with the words, “We don’t need no education,” unless it’s for the ones who understand a double negative, is probably not the greatest message to put across. Within the context of the film and the album, one would understand that (it) is actually a plea for better education.” Videos played during the Pink Floyd “Headline Act” hour include “Another Brick In The Wall,” “Arnold Lane,” “On The Turning Away,” “Welcome to the Machine,” and “Wish You Were Here.” Source: VH1.com Newsletter

A small sign at the wall explains for those who are not that familiar with Pink Floyd how the displayed items are named and when or where they were used. Too bad it’s all written in French language and not as well explained in English (a minor point noted). Immediately when...
