#BrainDamage

1 post1 participant1 post today

"Eclipse" is the tenth and final track from English #rock band #PinkFloyd's 1973 album, #TheDarkSideOfTheMoon. It was written and sung by #RogerWaters, with harmonies by #DavidGilmour and #RickWright. After Waters left the band, Gilmour sang the lead vocal when performing live. On the album, the song transitions, without noticeable break, from the previous song, "#BrainDamage".

This seemed important somehow:

I was 19 and on the trip of a lifetime – then I drank a cocktail laced with #methanol | Disability | The Guardian
Methanol is a type of #alcohol sometimes mixed into #bootleg liquor as a cheaper alternative to #ethanol. One mouthful can be deadly. As methanol metabolises in the body it creates harmful by-products: formaldehyde (used to embalm bodies), formate and formic acid, which attack nerves and organs and can lead to #blindness, #braindamage and death. #Formate is the main toxin that is produced and it acts like #cyanide by stopping energy production in cells, which causes depression of the central nervous system. There were large quantities of #methanol in King’s blood. The doctors were shocked, in the circumstances, that she had woken up at all in the hostel. In November last year, six tourists died in Laos from the suspected consumption of drinks laced with methanol.
