Mademoiselle Knobs

[Keith Jordan]

One question: why?

[Anna-Roza]

I like it!

1. it's funny - the band seems to have a good time performing it - and not too long
2. it's no worse than "Seamus"
3. last but not least - I also feel touched watching it. Rick's gorgeous dog, Mlle Knobs, reminds me of my dog - many years ago, I used to have a beautiful borzoi (Russian wolf-hound) that looked exactly the same way, white and red haired... I loved him very much (more than any animal I've ever had). But when he was only three years old, it revealed, that he was incurably ill; suffered terrible pains and, finally, we had to put him to eternal sleep

That's so sad. It's always so hard to lose an animal. Dogs especially, they're so devoted, honest and forgiving.

Re: Mlle Knobs: That's another thing that I've always appreciated about Pink Floyd is their incorporation of animal sounds and images with their music. Makes them more human.

Thank you, Pugs, for compassion...

One thing more about "Pompeii..." - I think Syd would like it as well, because it suits his childlike imagination: Pompeii as a legendary, half-mythological place and singing animals... For me, the idea of "Mlle Knobs" is quite close to the atmosphere of his "Piper..." lyrics!

That's his dog? Awesome! It's a gorgeous animal! Anybody here know what breed it is?
I've been wondering how did he made the dog 'sing', it's like when they show those funniest animals videos on TV; why do dogs begin 'singing' with certain music?

One question: why?

Ah...but to answer the question of "why," one must first examine the myriad possiblities available to the situation...and then ask the question "why not?"



Apparently, they wanted to play Seamus...but Seamus (that's the dog) wasn't around.

[Anna-Roza]

Anybody here know what breed it is?

As I've written above: it's a Russian wolf-hound, so called borzoi. Quite close "relative" to greyhound, for example, but bigger and with long hair.

I'v never understood the hostility towards either this or seamus, they just sound like pleasent enough blues grass tracks to me. Ok there nothing speical but there hardly unlistenable like a few other tracks from the early years I could name.

Because. (Just like I tell my son)

[quicksilver]

I think they were just having fun. Actually it's kind of nice, they never really seemed to have much fun soon after that.

I like it!

1. it's funny - the band seems to have a good time performing it

not sure about that. Roger looks pretty p*ssed off about something towards the end.

Really? I don't think so. He seems to lift his eyebrows a bit and there appears to be a start of a smile across his lips right at the end.

Why does everyone always say Roger looks p*ssed about something? Geez, it reminds me of my grandmother who always thought I was unhappy because I didn't smile. There was just no cause for me to smile is all! In any and all pictures I've seen of the band, Roger looks no more or less angrier than any of them.

Yep! I like it because...hmmm....I like it because I can't say why I like it. (Do I sound confused here?) It's a unique idea and they look like they are just having fun.
