Polly Samson Saved Drowning Man

Post by Keith Jordan »

David Gilmour’s wife Polly Samson saved a drowning man down in Brighton where she lives (minus her bike shed) after pulling him out of the sea. The man apparently did not want to be saved and insisted on dying by trying to get back into the freezing winter sea.

It must have been a horrible ordeal. Simply heroic of Polly Samson and all involved. Poor man. Such a tragedy really.

He could have seen the bike-shed and gotten suicidal?

Her act sums up modern life (and the epitome of irony) almost perfectly...being saved when you least want to be saved. Almost like a Monty Python skit. This guy had probably been planning his suicide painstakingly and very carefully (when, where, how, etc.) and she comes along and screws it up.

Isn't ironic that she a few years earlier wrote this lyric on the song "Take a breath":

This kind of love is hard to find
I never got to you by being kind
If I'm the one to throw you overboard
At least I showed you how to swim for shore

Best regards,
Peter
