Here is Camden Lock, lovely and lively, and with a market that seems to stretch on forever. My kind of place.

And one shot of Spitalfield’s, a sentimental favorite. I was too busy looking at everything to take pictures, so I left that to Jay.

Below, the cultural highlight of this visit, the Victoria and Albert Museum.

We caught what was no doubt a big summer draw.

Obviously I was either asleep or too depressed to notice at the time what a phenomenon they were and still are. “The Dark Side of the Moon” is still selling (7000 a week). Much for me to discover, better late than never.


As promised, it was not so much an exhibit as a “a full frontal sensory assault , an utterly transportive experience.”



Concert footage in an immersive environment was so cool. Almost like being there, kind of. Probably close enough.


Nice to be able to appreciate the words.

Sure wish I could see the Pink Floyd thing. I hope there was some homage to Syd Barrett, one of the founders of Pink Floyd, who became psychotic in 1968 and could no longer be with the band. Dark Side of the Moon was in part itself and homage to Syd and his schizophrenia. The poignant song, Wish You Were Here, is about him. Tom Stoppard’s play, “Rock and Roll” (2006) is also about Syd, the Czech underground and the Velvet Revolution. Cheers and Peace, Steve
