God, I'm more bored than I ever thought possible by Pink Floyd. I realise some of you might consider this faintly heretical, but I find Pink Floyd a bit dull at the best of times, and all this media speculation about possible reunions is making me want to eat my own head. Various people are reporting that such a reunion "may go ahead" if, and only if, drummer Nick Mason can persuade Roger Waters and David Gilmour to do it.
The reports all seem to be based on comments Mason made to the Daily Express recently. He's apparently convinced he can get the pair back together for one last tour, and is quoted as saying. "I've just finished playing with David at his recent solo concerts and I'm about to play a show with Roger. I call myself the Henry Kissinger of Pink Floyd! I'd love for it to happen again and I really do think Pink Floyd will play together again - but it would have to be for love, not money."
As you will all know, because we've reported on it, oh, quite a few times, Gilmour has repeatedly said he's not interested in reforming the band, despite playing a few of Pink Floyd's classic tracks as part of the set for his recent UK tour. Waters is also performing Floyd stuff - notably 'Dark Side Of The Moon' in full, assisted by Nick Mason, at Hyde Park on 1 Jul.
Either way, I'm bored. And if there's one thing that would be more boring than all this pointless speculation, it would probably be reporting on the fact that Pink Floyd are, in fact, to reunite. Yawn.
