Nick Mason, the man behind the drum kit for Pink Floyd, has stepped in to save a favorite childhood haunt from closing its doors. Foote's is the music shop where Mason bought his very first drum kit, and now he, along with the store's sales director, Rob Wilson, are set to buy the business from the family who has owned it since the '30s.

Roger Waters waded into the world of foreign relations yesterday (Nov 29) when he addressed the United Nations. In a 25-minute speech, he spoke out against alleged violations of international law by Israel against the Palestinian people.

Catch the Pink Floyd "reunion" that happened at London's 02 Arena last year.

Hint: He has been hitting the skins and threatening BBC Radio disc jockeys since 1964.

I discovered Pink Floyd at the age of four and never looked back.
