Played this earlier last night. #richardwright so album from 1978 has been given a #stevenwilson remix. Ive never heard the original, like many, so can’t compare. What you get is a lovely #pinkfloyd style record. #snowywhite of guitar and #melcollins on sax playing some of their most melodic of their lives. Lovely record. #vinyl comes out next month, might invest in a copy

Esto fue ayer, pero no puedo dejarlo pasar. El 28 de julio de 1943 nació uno de los fundadores y personaje clave en el sonido de Pink Floyd, el tecladista y cantante Richard Wright, quien falleció el año 2008 producto de un cáncer de pulmón.
Justo ayer, en el día en que habría cumplido 80 años, se lanzó la remezcla de su disco debut como solista «Wet Dream».
¡Muy feliz cumpleaños al paraíso de los rockeros para él!
🎁🎉🎸🥳🍰🎂🤘🏻

Listening to the brilliant remix by #stevenwilson of the classic #wetdreams by #PinkFloyd keyboardist #RichardWright. It is full of melancholy lows and wuthering highs. https://spotify.link/xgeNirQkNBb

¿Por qué nadie me había contado que Steven Wilson remezcló el "Wet Dream" de Richard Wright y que se lanza mañana mismo? 😱🥰

Richard Wright - 'Wet Dream' (1978) (Steven Wilson remix) (2023)

Wasn't familiar with this #RichardWright album, but it appears a collection of laid back songs and instrumentals, quite good! Wonderful sound and clear remix by #StevenWilson.

#RIP #Sinéad. Around 15 years ago, we lost Rick Wright too, who wrote this staggering #duet for his 1996 album Broken China: https://youtu.be/N9SKH5rF_c0

@DeliaChristina
Excerpt from the opening paragraph of #RichardWright's 1951 essay "I Choose Exile". Sadly still relevant in 2023:

"...The first 38 years of my life were spent exclusively on the soil of my native land. But, at the moment of this writing, I live in voluntary exile in France and I like it. There is nothing in the life of America that I miss or yearn for... I shall keep my American citizenship, my American passport; but I prefer to live out my days among a civilized people..."

"Shine On You Crazy Diamond" is a nine-part #PinkFloyd composition written by #DavidGilmour, #RogerWaters, and #RichardWright, which appeared on Pink Floyd's 1975 #conceptAlbum #WishYouWereHere. The song is written about and dedicated to founder member #SydBarrett, who departed from the band in 1968 after becoming mentally ill.

“We Black folk, our history, and our present being are a mirror of all the manifold experiences of America… If we Black folk perish, America will perish.” #richardwright

Of all the pieces of writing I have crafted over the years, this piece - on the brief career of #PinkFloyd backing singer #RachelFury has been the most read and the most commented on. Seriously, if I had a dollar for every set of eyes that has perused it, I could probably retire! Anyway, it's a favourite of mine. If you're a fan of #progrock, & #DavidGilmour, #NickMason & #RichardWright - take a look!

Every time I hear Jim Croce's *Bad, Bad, Leroy Brown*, I think of you, Bigger Thomas.

As big and dumb as a man can come, that's you.

What were you thinking when you carried your boss's drunken daughter into her bedroom? How did you think this would end well?

Today in Labor History March 25, 1931: The authorities arrested the Scottsboro Boys in Alabama and charged them with rape. The Scottsboro Boys were nine African American youths, ages 13 to 20, falsely accused of raping two white women. A lynch mob tried to murder them before they had even been indicted. All-white juries convicted each of them. Several judges gave death sentences, a common practice in Alabama at the time for black men convicted of raping white women. The Communist Party and the NAACP fought to get the cases appealed and retried. Finally, after numerous retrials and years in harsh prisons, four of the Scottsboro Boys were acquitted and released. The other five were got sentences ranging from 75 years to death. All were released or escaped by 1946. Poet and playwright Langston Hughes wrote it in his work Scottsboro Limited. And Richard Wright's 1940 novel Native Son was influenced by the case.

Between the World and Me by Richard Wright

And one morning while in the woods I stumbled
suddenly upon the thing,
Stumbled upon it in a grassy clearing guarded by scaly
oaks and elms
And the sooty details of the scene rose, thrusting
themselves between the world and me....
