Met with Noah Wyle and a group of healthcare workers with @wearfigs. The Pitt shows the real issues they’re facing—ICE at hospitals, staffing shortages, burnout.
This administration is adding to it: cutting Medicaid, limiting student loan relief for health workers, slashing programs that keep providers in the field. The people in this photo deal with the real version every single day. They deserve better from Washington.
My dear friend Dick Parry died this morning.
Since I was seventeen, I have played in bands with Dick on saxophone, including Pink Floyd.
His feel and tone make his saxophone playing unmistakable, a signature of enormous beauty that is known to millions and is such a big part of songs such as Shine On You Crazy Diamond, Wish You Were Here, Us and Them and Money.
He played in the last band I had that included Rick Wright for the On An Island Tour and at Live 8 with Pink Floyd.
Here are some pictures of him, including one of him and me playing for the ABC Minors at the Victoria Cinema in Cambridge in 1963.
