LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, THE SWINGING SOUND OF THE ‘60S IN CRANBROOK AND KIMBERLEY. You don’t need a ticket to read all about it, on Page 4! The rock and roll, the haircuts, the suits, the Bluebird Inn and a Cranbrook and Kimberley musical rivalry. We repeat, turn to Page 4 for a special trip back. Pictured above: The Blue Velvet Brass from Cranbrook, who did their share of rockin’ in those rockin’ times.

Have you wondered what programs are in place to deal with invasive plants and noxious weeds in the region? If so, the East Kootenay Invasive Plant Council will be offering a chance to get your questions answered, as it will be putting on a tour of invasive plant treatment sites in the region later this month. The tour will showcase efforts by local industry to manage the invasive plant species, as well as share information and work being done on invasive plant solutions. The public is invited to come out and see what East Kootenay industries are doing to combat invasive plants by taking the tour on Thursday, July 24.

Teams from across region search for missing man in St. Mary River area C AROLYN GR ANT
Air, water and ground searches of the St. Mary River continued on Tuesday, as Search and Rescue units from across the Kootenays and beyond continued the search for a missing man, 23-year-old Alex Brown. Brown, who was visiting family in Kimberley was re-
ported to have jumped into the St. Mary River on Saturday, July 5 at about 7 p.m. Kimberley RCMP Cpl. Chris Newel said that he surfaced once but then disappeared from sight. Kimberley Search and Rescue has set up a command centre at the Riverside Campground parking lot as crews work all daylight
hours in the water and searching ground along the river side. “We are continuing ground searches, water searchers and helicopter searches,” said Kimberley Search and Rescue member Alison Lomon. “The Civil Air Search and Rescue is flying all the way to Koocanusa, but the ground search is
from St. Mary Lake down to the campground, about a 17 to 20 kilometre stretch. We are putting in long, long hours.” Lomon says that the river is not running particularly fast right now, about 12 km per hour, which is normal for this time of year. However, like any river it can have log jams and other hazards.
Search and Rescue teams from around the region have answered the call to help. “We have Revelstoke in the water with Penticton right now,” Lomon said. Search and Rescue will stay on the job until told to stand down, Lomon says, and that is a call that would be made by the RCMP.

Tour will highlight regional invasive plant programs Continued from page 1
Todd Larson, from the East Kootenay Invasive Plant Council (EKIPC) said the issues with invasive plants are recognized as the second biggest threat to biodiversity after habitat loss. Here in the East Kootenay, the invasive plants affect both animal forage plants, domestic and wild, as well as agricultural crops. Both are economic drivers in the region. “Highlighted on the tour will be a Blueweed Trial that demonstrates the effectiveness of various herbicides and application rates on Blueweed,” noted Larson. “The results are timely and significant for the EKIPC, industry and private land owners as Blueweed is quickly becoming widespread in
many areas of the East Kootenay.” Blueweed is a regional noxious weed that invades rangelands, pastures, roadsides and idle areas, especially those of coarse, sandy and gravelly soils. It grows to a metre high and is named for its bluish flowers. Pat Wray, Recreation and Control Services assistant at the Regional District, said this will be an interesting tour to see what kind of treatments industry will be doing. “I think a lot of people would never have the opportunity to go up in those lands,” Wray said. There will be an assortment of weeds in focus, not just Blueweed. That has been a real problem in the south country, so a Blueweed

ers spotted his body resting on a shelf at a depth of 146 feet (44.5 m). RCMP arranged for Gene Ralston to help recover the body. His firm was the same one that located and recovered three youths who drowned in Slocan Lake this year. Creston RCMP Staff Sgt. Bob Gollan said initially they were expected Monday morning, but arrived a day early. Ralston, his wife, an RCMP officer, and the local conservation officer went out in two boats, but couldn’t find the man. They were forced off the lake due to high winds, but went out again on Monday at 8 a.m. and located the body about three hours later using a remote underwater vehicle. The body was turned over to the BC Coroners Service, which continues to investigate.

The body of a 25-year-old Riondel man presumed to have drowned in Kootenay Lake has been recovered. With the help of Idaho-based Ralston and Associates, the body was brought to the surface around 11 a.m. Monday. The man, whose name hasn’t been released, went missing after jumping from Starbelly Cliff north of Gray Creek on June 30. He and a friend were diving at the popular spot when he hit the water awkwardly. The second man tried to pull his friend to safety but the unconscious swimmer slipped under the water and didn’t resurface. He was familiar with the area and was described as an experienced cliff diver. Using underwater cameras, div-

The Plant Council is made up of both government and non-government affiliates. Larson said the diverse mix allows for partnerships to be brought to the table which play a critical role in reducing and controlling invasive plant species. He noted the East Kootenay resource sector is a part of the partnership. The tour

Rock and roll rivalries of the EK The bands! The haircuts! The Bluebird Inn and the 1960s in Cranbrook and Kimberley
Part I of II ANTHONY DR ANSFELD For the Townsman
T
eenage years in Kimberley were fantastic, because we had two exceptional bands in town, The Epics, and The Henchmen. Derek Clement was the front man for The Epics, playing rhythm guitar and harmonica, as well as lead vocals. I am a bit partial toward The Epics — I was their “unofficial manager and a good friend to all of the band members, being the only person who could sit in on band practice at Derek Clement’s house in Chapman Camp. Rob “Dusty” Young played lead and acoustic guitar, while doing vocals with Derek. Dusty has moved back to Kimberley in recent years and is playing in a band here with Marty Musser, Jamie Neve and Dave Birch. Robert Young is a virtuoso guitar player, one of the best I have heard in my musical journey. Grant Scott, the excellent bassist for The Epics, was particularly adept at listening to a song once or twice with Derek to get the chords down, give those chords to Robert Young, jot down the lyrics and, voila, a new song was ready to be performed at their next gig, which was usually at McDougall Hall in Kimberley. The Epics’ drummer was Dennis Davies who had the very first Beatle haircut in Kimberley. The Epics soon were all sporting Beatles haircuts, when long hair was not really “in” here in the East Kootenay. The Henchmen were fronted by the late great Bobby Dixon, their lead singer. Nobber O’Brien was the band’s lead guitarist and was pretty good. Calvin Wong played bass, while Larry “Muss” Musser was their mercurial drummer. Billy Fraser was brought in to play keyboards for The Henchmen. the Epics countered by getting Eric “Ric” Birkeland to play organ for them, plucking him from under the considerable nose of
Ralphie Yarwood, the Selkirk High School Band leader. Birkeland was amazing on the very popular Animals song of the day — “House Of The Rising Son”. It was a highly requested number when the Epics played locally. The Henchmen were influenced by The Rolling Stones, Otis Redding, Wilson Pickett, and Tower Of Power. The Epics were influenced by The Beatles, The Who, Paul Revere and, of course, The Stones. The East Kootenay had the wildly popular “Battle Of The Bands” which gave out some decent prize money. usually it was won by The Piltdown Men from Trail, who were a pretty slick group, headed by Larry Hayden (guitar and vocals), Rod Gooderich on drums, and the late George Turner on bass. Bev Herman from Kimberley was a fine vocalist with “The Piltdown Men.” The Epics opened for The Guess Who at The Kimberley Civic Centre, in February, 1967. The Guess Who were very nice to us, I recall, particularly Burton Cummings, their lead singer, who had a reputation of being aloof — but not that night. The Epics played “Clock On The Wall,” an original Guess Who tune and one Randy Bachman really liked. Cranbrook’s answer to The Epics and The Henchmen were The Thin Red Line and The Tycons — who had a wicked sax player, the late Stu Nyquist, who used to wow everyone with his version of “Night Train”. The Thin Red Line were fronted by David Houle, whose dad Lloyd owned CKEK Radio. Lloyd was a heck of a nice fellow. He passed away after falling in the Grand Canyon while on a hike. David Houle was a musical talent, an excellent singer, and indeed is still in the entertainment business in Vancouver. “The Line” also played a lot at The Bluebird Inn, an amazing musical venue with its Scandanavian architec-

The Swingin’ Sounds of CKEK
During the mid 1960s and early 1970s CKEK Radio in Cranbrook pumped out The Beatles, The Animals, The Who, The Rolling Stones, Dave Clark 5, Paul Revere and The Raiders, The Monkees, The BeeGees, Peter and Gordon, and the Buffalo Springfield with Neil Young (Nizer James’ all time Favorite Band). CKEK played the rock and roll hits of the era from morning until night, except on Sundays, when they would switch to Marty Robbins (El Paso), Percy Sledge, Don Ho (Tiny Bubbles), Roger Miller (Dang me), Pat Boone (Speedy Gonzalez) Mitch Miller and Dean Martin. Mondays could not come soon enough for us teenagers. ture and wonderful acoustics. A circular balcony, stage, and rooms where wedding parties and RCMP parties and dances were held. The Bluebird was the place to go. The Drifters, from Jaffray, served as house band. They were fronted by Butch “Skinny” McLellan, who sang blues and played a wicked harmonica. The Bluebird Inn had fabulous acoustics, and the dance floor had a great spring to it as well. Everyone in the East Kootenay knew and loved the Bluebird Inn. Sadly, it burned down in the early 1980s and was never rebuilt. It was located where the current Dodge dealership now sits on Cranbrook Street. “Skinny” McLellan was also resident
bouncer at The Bluebird. He was a bear of a man with a heart of gold. Any fight that broke out at the Bluebird was swiftly dealt with by Skinny. I was there one Saturday night with The Epics when a scrap broke out. Butch was chatting with me at the time. He said “I will be right back,” then sauntered over to the combatants and grabbed each of them by the scruff of the neck. He threw each guy off of the wall about five feet up from the dance floor. Butch returned to continue our conversation about 10 seconds later. I remember being extremely impressed with Skinny. “Skin” played harmonica brilliantly, and sang a few

He was a long haul truck driver all over North America, always packing his harmonicas to drop in on music jams in Dallas, Memphis and Nashville. In 1986, I was gassing up my Toyota late one night at a vast Union 76 Truck Stop in California on the I80 between Sacramento and San Francisco. A huge truck without a trailer came careening into my view, heading for my car. As I
was still holding the nozzle and pumping gas, I saw my life flash before my eyes literally. The semi hit the brakes, smoke billowing from the tires and air brakes, the rig stopping about two inches from my bumper. Skinny McLellan jumped out of the cab with a big smile on his face. I had not seen Butch for 25 years. “I knew it was you right away,” he said. We went into the restaurant and had a two-hour dinner and had a great visit. Skinny McLellan was a real legend in Cranbrook. He would always drive the Byng Hotel float in the Sam Steele
Parade. He was a fixture at the Saturday afternoon jams. When he walked he was so light on his feet he seemed to float up to the stage. Once, at the Moose Hall in Kimberley, he broke up a fight simply by grabbing both scrappers and banging their heads together. It was funny to see. Back then the Cranbrook guys did not like the Kimberley guys coming to Cranbrook whatsoever. Dating a girl in Cranbrook and taking her to a dance at the Bluebird Inn was asking for trouble. But Butch McLellan always had our back.

A brief history of treaty talks A few weeks before the landmark decision declaring aboriginal title proven by the Tsilhqot’in Nation, I picked up a used university textbook that looked like a handy reference. Geography in British Columbia: People and Landscapes in Transition, by Brett McGillivray (UBC Press, Second Edition) is a good reference, except where it strays from geography into politics. This 2005 edition came out not long before the B.C. Treaty Commission started producing agreements, notably with the Tsawwassen First Nation. It recounts the establishment of the Ministry of Native Affairs by the Bill Vander Zalm government in 1990, and the election the next year of Mike Harcourt’s NDP, who reversed the province’s historical legal position and tried to accept the existence of aboriginal title. At this point the textbook departs from the facts and leads its freshman pupils into left-wing dogma. McGillivray writes: “When the Liberal Party won the 2001 election (with all but two seats), it launched a province-wide referendum on treaty negotiations, prompting commentators to suggest the government was ‘trying to impose 19th century ideas on a 21st century problem’.” “Commentators” in the above quote is of course only one commentator, veteran lefty Vancouver columnist Stephen Hume.
This quote was indeed representative of the media consensus at the time. On TV, aboriginal leaders burned their ballots while denouncing the referendum as racist and divisive. The public, and later university students, were taught that Gordon Campbell’s government was exploiting racism for political gain. In fact, this referendum was one of a long series of efforts to untangle the legal BC VIEWS knot left by Canada and B.C.’s failure to complete hisTom torical treaties after 1900. Fletcher Seven of the eight questions in the 2002 referendum were simply to confirm the existing position of B.C. treaty negotiators. The purpose, then as now, was to settle treaties. The first question asked if private land should be exempt from expropriation for treaty settlements. Private property rights are not so much a 19th century idea as a 17th century one, defined in 1690 by John Locke. What remains true today is that no society has made significant social and environmental progress without individual property rights. See the woeful state of most of Canada’s communally owned aboriginal reserves, where individually owned property isn’t permitted. The Tsilhqot’in dropped claims of property held by non-aboriginal residents from their appeal to the highest court, a wise move considering that pushing peo-
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
ple from their homes would lead to violent confrontations. Other referendum questions related to preserving public access to Crown land for hunting, fishing and park use. All were endorsed. The only new question asked if aboriginal self-government “should have the characteristics of local government, with powers delegated from Canada and British Columbia.” Arguably, that’s what has emerged from the Tsilhqot’in case, which upholds provincial jurisdiction over public forest policy on environmental and fire protection on aboriginal title lands. By 2009, frustrated with a lack of progress, due to Ottawa’s inaction as well as inconsistent leadership from aboriginal communities, the Campbell government tried to cut the knot. Its proposed Recognition Act would have accepted a form of aboriginal title across the province, based on 30 historical “indigenous nations.” That idea originated not with the province but with the First Nations Leadership Council. It was rejected by a broader group of aboriginal leaders later that year. The best way forward, also endorsed in the 2002 referendum, is sharing land use planning. B.C. has also begun sharing resource revenues. The most likely path, however, is back to court for years to come. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press.

EAST KOOTENAY ROLLER DERBY LEAGUE
Barbarians satisfied with derby season TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor
All it took was three minutes and some penalty trouble. Nursing a 16-point lead at the halfway mark of the EKRDL championship in Kimberley on Saturday night, the Bavarian Barbarians allowed the Invermere Killer Rollbots to close the gap near the end of the match until they were only three points away. But then disaster struck, and the Rollbots took advantage with some power jams. “The turning point was we got just a bit too excited,” said Nicole Kapell, who skates as Indiana Bones Crusher for the Barbarians. “We couldn’t calm down and we started getting super excited and started taking some unnecessary penalties.” Those late penalties were mostly for cutting the track—when a skater is pushed out of bounds and reenters the track
ahead of where she left it. “Three of our four penalties that we got in the last six minutes was our jammers cutting the track, so they get pushed out and jump back in as soon as possible, and they cut in front of girls ahead of the other team,” said Kapell. The Rollbots got power jams out of those penalties—and with the Barbarias unable to score points with their jammer in the box—the Invermere team was able to pull ahead and take a 166-153 win. “We always have fun playing Invermere. I think we play them at least once a year for the last three years and this year we played them twice,” said Kapell. “…We know a lot of the girls and it’s a good rivalry and we’re pretty evenly matched. This one was a 13-point difference, the last one was a 12-point difference, so it’s been a really nice season playing against
BELO HORIZONTE, Brazil - Germany poured in the goals Tuesday to hand Brazil its heaviest World Cup loss ever with an astounding 7-1 rout in the semifinals that stunned the host nation. Miroslav Klose scored a record-setting 16th career World Cup goal in a five-goal spurt in the first half as Brazil’s defence was torn apart. The Germans reached their eighth final and will face either Argentina or the Netherlands on Sunday at the Maracana Stadium in Rio de Janeiro. Previously, Brazil’s biggest World Cup loss was 3-0 to France in the 1998 final. This matched their biggest ever margin of defeat in any competition, equaling a 6-0 loss to Uruguay in 1920 in the South American championship, the predecessor of the Copa America.
“We wanted to make the people happy ... unfortunately we couldn’t,” defender David Luiz said. “We apologize to all Brazilians” It’s also Brazil’s first loss in a competitive match on home soil since 1975, when Peru won 3-1 at the very same Mineirao Stadium in the Copa America. Its last loss at home came in a friendly with Paraguay in 2002. Brazil’s attack was weakened by the loss of Neymar, who fractured a vertebra after getting kneed in the back in the quarterfinal win over Colombia. But it was Brazil’s porous defence that was the biggest problem in the first half as the host also sorely missed suspended captain Thiago Silva. On Tuesday, with Bernard playing as the third striker, Brazil attacked from the start. But they failed to get any solid chances, and it wasn’t long before the Germans opened up the defence and

SPORTS BRIEFS Kootenay Ice players attending NHL rookie camps
It may be the summer months, but a few members of the Kootenay Ice are back at the rink participating in various NHL development camps. Ice G Mackenzie Skapski (New York Rangers) has already been in the Big Apple attending his second rookie camp with the Blueshirts after getting drafted last year. However, the new crop of Ice players who recently became NHL prospects are getting their tires kicked by scouts in their respective camps. Rinat Valiev is attending camp with Toronto, Sam Reinhart is in Buffalo, Jaedon Descheneau is in St. Louis and Tanner Faith is in Minnesota. Jon Martin is in Vancouver with the Canucks on an invite. While those players are showing the NHL scouts what they’ve got, the Central Scouting bureau released the 2014-15 Futures list on Tuesday, and two Kootenay members hit the rankings. Defenceman Troy Murray and forward Zak Zborosky were listed as players to watch for the upcoming season. Both will be draft-eligible next year. The list also included players such as OHL phenom Connor McDavid and the USHL’s Jack Eichel, both highly-touted prospects who could go first overall in the 2015 NHL Draft.

started the rout. Toni Kroos and Andre Schuerrle scored two goals each, while Thomas Mueller and Sami Khedira added the others.
Oscar pulled a late goal back for Brazil. It was Germany’s biggest World Cup win since routing Saudi Arabia 8-0 in a group match in 2002.
It’s the first time Brazil had allowed five goals in a World Cup match since the 1938 tournament in France, when the team beat Poland 6-5 in extra time.
LeBron James holds meetings in Las Vegas hotel
LAS VEGAS - LeBron James held meetings for more than three hours in a Las Vegas hotel Tuesday, leaving without giving any indication of what team he’ll play for next season. The four-time MVP told The Associated Press he had “no complaints” when asked how free agency was going. He declined to say whom he had met with on Tuesday or whether he had made a decision of where he’ll play next. James is expected to meet with Miami Heat President Pat Riley before making a final decision on his NBA future, and a person close to the situation said that meeting had not happened as of Tuesday afternoon. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because no one has publicly announced the date of the meeting. Some of James’ representatives have met with several teams, including the Cleveland Cavaliers. On the the fourth anniversary of his announcement to leave the Cavaliers, James has the NBA waiting and guessing about his next move as a free agent. Associated Press

JOHANNESBURG, South Africa - The defence team for Oscar Pistorius closed its case in the athlete’s murder trial on Tuesday, bringing a legal case that has transfixed South Africans and others around the world closer to a verdict. Final arguments are scheduled for Aug. 7-8. Lawyer Barry Roux said he had finished calling witnesses to testify in the trial of Pistorius, who killed girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp by firing through a closed toilet door in his home. “We close the case for the defence,” Roux said. Some witnesses did not want to testify for the defence because of the publicity surrounding the case, he said, adding that he chose not to ask Judge Thokozile Masipa to compel them to appear. Chief prosecutor Gerrie Nel said the prosecution will file closing arguments on July 30 and the defence will do so on Aug. 4. He and Roux agreed to return to court on Aug. 7 to give final arguments before Masipa. Associated Press

ANNIE’S MAILBOX by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: The current “fad” of gluten-free products is both beneficial and harmful to those of us who must follow a gluten-free diet because of celiac disease. On one hand, it’s easier to find gluten-free foods. But on the other hand, those of us with celiac disease are looked upon as if we are simply food faddists. Here are some of the problems we face: Restaurants are more aware of the need to serve gluten-free meals, but are often sloppy in their attempts to avoid cross-contamination, not being aware of the extreme importance of “not even a crumb.” When a hostess declares a dish to be gluten-free, does she understand the restrictions of wheat, rye and barley? Will she be kind to us if we question her recipes? Will she be offended if we decline to partake? When we are at a dinner, we often hear such ignorant comments as, “Are you trying to improve your athletic performance?” or “Go ahead, a little won’t hurt you. Don’t be so fussy.” Can you help educate the public about the difference between celiac disease, which necessitates a gluten-free diet for medical reasons, and those who are simply making a personal choice? -- Cheryl in Pennsylvania Dear Cheryl: No one should treat eating restrictions as a “fad,” because you never know who truly has a serious problem. In people with celiac disease, eating anything with gluten triggers an immune response. It can damage the small intestine and make it difficult to absorb nutrients from food. Left untreated, celiac disease can lead to anemia, osteoporosis and lymphoma. In children, celiac disease can slow growth and weaken bones. There is often a genetic component. On the other hand, some folks are simply gluten sensitive. Eating gluten may make them uncomfortable or tired, and when they cut gluten out of their diet, they feel more energetic. “Cheating,” however, will not cause the severe symptoms of celiac disease. Dear Annie: I read your response to “Not a Christian,” who objected to a breakfast gathering that started with the blessing “in Jesus’ name.” You said it was inappropriate. I suspect the majority of the people in that room find comfort in this blessing, and the rest probably don’t care. Why offend many to make a very few happy? People like this are intolerant and selfish. If this person finds this blessing so offensive, he should move to another community or keep his mouth closed for the duration of the blessing. -Karen from Wyoming Dear Wyoming: We know many find these blessings comforting, but others do not. Why offend anyone? This is not a religious gathering. It does not require a public prayer from any denomination, and it’s certainly not for the majority religion to impose its beliefs on the rest, no matter how few. Those who wish to give a blessing of any kind can do so at their own table instead of insisting on offering a prayer on behalf of others who would rather you didn’t. Here’s a truly tolerant solution: Dear Annie: Many years ago, when I was a member of an international service organization, we began each of our meetings with a prayer. I, too, felt the same as “Not a Christian.” So when I became president, I went to a bookstore and purchased a book that included prayers and readings from all denominations, including atheism and non-traditional religions. At each meeting, I chose a different prayer or inspirational message to read. The members felt that this was very informative and learned a little bit each week about different religions. Perhaps this would be a solution to others. -- Betsy in N.J. Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

‘Look Outside’ photo contest launched Submitted
This summer, Look Outside, an exciting new photo contest and initiative launched by Wildsight, invites everyone to grab their cameras (or their cell phones!), head outside and capture their favourite places in the Kootenays. Celebrating our connection to wild places and the wildlife that lives within them, Look Outside offers two different ways to participate. You can
submit your photos to our year-long photo contest at wildlookoutside.com for a chance to win amazing monthly prizes, grand prizes, and a chance to have your images included in the Look Outside community tour. Or, you can submit photos through social media channels such as Instagram, Facebook or Twitter, tagged #WildLookOutside. Pat Morrow, an award-winning local photographer and
mountaineer who is helping coordinate the initiative said, “Photography has been a prime motivator for exploring the Purcells ever since Albert MacCarthy took the first climbing action photos with his folding Eastman camera in 1916. Photos and video clips submitted to the Look Outside initiative and photo contest will celebrate the contemporary Purcell region—and also inspire the on-going need to
safeguard the wild.” “Help us showcase the Purcells and surrounding region by posting or submitting your photos,” said Juri Peepre, Wildsight board chair. “The response to Look Outside has been very positive. Personally, I can’t wait to get out and photograph my favourite places and see the region through other people’s eyes. I hope lots of people will join in!”
Graham Nash sees young people as saviours of the future A ss o c i at e d P r e ss
NEW YORK — Graham Nash feels optimistic that young people will once again change America for the better. So while he’s frustrated by political ideals surrounding issues like global warming and marriage equality, he realizes that “those powers against progress’’ will naturally run their course.
“They will all die at one point and the children will take over,’’ Nash said. Then he added: “Do you know anybody under 25 that gives a damn whether you marry a man if you’re a man or if you marry a woman if you’re a woman? No.’’ Nash said that young people helped administer change in the 1960s
and ‘70s, and today’s young people will influence their generation positively. The 72-year-old member of Crosby, Stills and Nash spoke exclusively to The Associated Press on Monday after the Paley Center for Media hosted a discussion with the trio regarding their newly released remastered box set commemorating
After 20-year gap, Pink Floyd to release ‘ambient’ new album A ss o c i at e d Pr e ss
LONDON — A fresh Pink Floyd album is on the way — 20 years after the band last released new material. Spokesman Doug Wright confirmed Monday that “The Endless River’’ will be released in October. It’s described as consisting of “mainly ambient and instrumental music’’ based on 1993-94 recording sessions for the group’s last album, “The Division Bell.’’ “The Endless River’’ features
band members David Gilmour, Nick Mason and Richard Wright, who died in 2008. Roger Waters, who left the group in 1985, is not involved. Gilmour’s wife, writer Polly Samson, tweeted that the album “is Rick Wright’s swansong and very beautiful.’’ The psychedelic superstars sold millions of copies of albums including “The Dark Side of the Moon’’ and “The Wall.’’ They last performed together at the 2005 Live 8 concert.
their 1974 tour with Neil Young. The twice-inducted Rock and Roll Hall of Famer also shared his views on the nation’s highest court and its 5-4 decision to allow companies with religious objections to avoid the contraceptives requirement in President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul. “It used to be that the Supreme Court was a very unbiased set of people. It’s not that way anymore. ... They made corporations people? They gave them, corporations, religious rights? That’s insanity to me.’’ He also feels that Congress has been unco-operative with the president since he took office. “A lot of it is political power; a lot of it is because he’s a black man. There’s a lot of racism in this country and we have to fight it. And the
Graham Nash
way you fight it is by spreading information and letting as many people know as you can what you think is going on and let them make up their minds,’’ Nash said. Nash feels that he and his bandmates — which sometimes includes Young — have a responsibility in sparking social change though music and discussion. “We’re just one link in a long chain of musicians that try to make the world a better place.’’
