 E ancora, Wright Nel 1943 o nel 1945?
Syd:
Più che una curiosità, il dilemma sulla data di nascita reale (io
aggiungerei anche il luogo, o meglio la contea...) è uno dei (tanti)
falsi misteri che aleggiano sul mito Pink Floyd.
Cito integralmente la risposta ad una delle FAQ elaborate da Echoes,
mailing list storica dedicata ai PF. E' in inglese, ma non dovresti
avere difficoltà nella traduzione.
Se non ti va di leggere, comunque George Roger Waters è nato il 6
settembre 1943.
[I am often getting asked: "When is Roger Waters Birthday?" As
any well read fan I used to reply: Why on Sept. 9, 1944 of
course. Wrong!
Little did I know that I had been dispensing inaccurate
information for years! Because of the confusion regarding the
year of Roger's birth, I reported the truth of the matter in
REG issue #15. There had been a publishing discrepancy
regarding the year that Roger was born. Some books reported
that Roger was born in 1944, others reported that it was 1943.
I learned that it was statistically impossible for Roger to
have been born in 1944. The correct year of Roger's birth is
in fact 1943.
However, the confusion did not stop there. I understand that
he was born in 1943, but on what day? A number of reliable
sources list September 6th as his birth date, while other
reliable sources list September 9th as his date of birth.
September 9, is listed as Roger's birth date in various promo
materials. Even though they list conflicting years, September
9, is also listed as Roger's birth date in the book Pink
Floyd, A Visual Documentary by Miles, and in Schaffner's Pink
Floyd - A Saucerful of Secrets biography.
However, Roger's birth date is listed as September 6, 1943 in
the Pink Floyd - In the Flesh book by Glenn Povey & Ian
Russell, as well as in a number of magazine articles, and in
the Encyclopedia of Rock Stars book.
To solve this dilemma, I called up an unimpeachable source,
Mark Fenwick, Roger Waters' manager. Asked about the truth
regarding this matter he replied; Roger Waters was born
September 6, 1943!
So there you have it, the true birth date of Roger Waters,
almost from the horse's mouth so to speak.]
Dimenticavo: Richard William Wright è nato il 28 luglio del 1945.

Dada is a state of mind. That is why it transforms itself according to races and events. 
Dada applies itself to everything, and yet it is nothing. 
It is the point where the yes and the no and all the opposites meet, not solemnly in the castles of human philosophies. 
But very simply at street corners. Like dogs and grasshoppers. 
Like everything in life, Dada is useless. Dada is without pretension, as life should be.

 affermi che era osceno... mah...

Lo studio non era ancora a posto quando hanno registrato
"Animals", soprattutto dal punto di vista del trattamento
acustico delle pareti e dei locali. Ce lo dice lo stesso tecnico
di allora e lo confermarono sia Gilmour che Waters.
