Pick your own expression for complete (joyous) disbelief

"Holy fucking shit" or "Hell has frozen over", whatever the case may be, I think this bit of news definitely qualifies:

Veteran rock band Pink Floyd have been added to the list of acts appearing at next month's Live 8 concert in London.

Now that bit of news in and of itself, you might well say, is not so unbelievable. But this part of the story most definitely is, my friends:

Roger Waters will be reunited with band-members Dave Gilmour, Nick Mason and Rick Wright for the show.

(Let me repeat that so it sinks in)

Roger Waters will be reunited with band-members Dave Gilmour, Nick Mason and Rick Wright for the show.

To quote Phillip J. McGonnigle, noted philosopher: "Sell my clothes, I'm gone to heaven!"

But it might just make the inevitable CD release worth buying ;)

Of course, if poor ol' Syd is on good enough meds now, I'd pay double to see 'em perform Saucer Full of Secrets.. ;-)

Let the bickering and genius-fighting begin!

Gilmour: "I thought we'd open with Run Like Hell"

Waters: "Why would we do that? Why not something from Final Cut?"

Gilmou: (silence)

Waters: "What did I say?"

Wright: "I'm staying out of this".

My friend, this post should be put under an LJ cut, because it it has caused a situation in my pants that is very NSFW.
