OVER THE RAINBOW, HE IS CRAZY

Only 13 days left 'till November 30. That means we have two weekends left, and one of them is Thanksgiving weekend.

Not looking good as far as finishing "The Wall" goes.

I have to admit, I'm more than a little burned out on the whole thing. The fact is, any time you try to record almost 30 songs, which you didn't write, and which millions of people know by heart, you're gonna miss a few things that you just didn't feel were important, but which define the record for someone else.

There will always be other ways we could've done it, but you know what? We didn't. Maybe we were lazy, maybe we were too busy on other projects, maybe we should have actually listened to the original while we were covering it (still haven't, mind you).

None of it really matters, after all. I know I'm gonna send a copy to Roger Waters. I'll bet he was happy with his initial demos, all done with acoustic guitar, and which other members of the band have called "unlistenable." He liked the songs back then, they're the same songs now, even if we do end up with a crappy version of "The Trial." A song which, by the way, we all know was Bob Ezrin's fault anyway.

Remain steely eyed on the goal of a finished, QUALITY project Chris. Mourn the due date slippage and get back in the saddle. Quality counts over everything. All that I've heard of it to this point says that it's going to be awesome.
