In Los Angeles for concerts at Intuit Dome and the Hollywood Bowl, the 78-year-old Pink Floyd veteran sits down for a wide-ranging interview.
It’s dusk inside an empty Hollywood Bowl as David Gilmour peers out from the stage and delivers his song “Dark and Velvet Nights” to no one in particular. A strutting psych-blues jam with visions of “great cities that toppled and drowned,” it’s a highlight from the Pink Floyd veteran’s strong new solo album, “Luck and Strange” — and one of the latter-day cuts his fans will politely nod their heads to a few hours from now between beloved oldies such as “Wish You Were Here” and “Comfortably Numb.
” Why can’t people just call things as they are? What was it like to be the heartthrob in Pink Floyd? I have no idea how to answer that. Maybe you should ask Roger that question — I mean about me, obviously . I’m curious because you clearly had a strong look. Yet Pink Floyd didn’t ever seem to be selling sex. No. Which made it different from other bands of that era. I wouldn’t say all other bands.
