Just An Earth Bound Misfit, I

My cousin Christina bought be the cassette tape of Pink Floyd's "A Momentary Lapse of Reason" back in 1987, and though the music wasn't really in my wheel house I did enjoy a few of the songs including today's video and single from that album. With a cool vibe to it, and a cool video, here is Pink Floyd's first single since Roger Waters departed the band. The video actually won for "Best Concept" at MTV's video awards in 1988. It's "Learning to Fly"...
