…but, apparently, it mended some fences that are staying mended…at least for a little while, anyway.

Oh, and did I mention the report was in Spanish?

I translated it to English via BabelFish, but, um, it wasn’t what you’d call precise. But, below, you can still get the idea:

The legendary British band Pink Floyd announced today that after surpassing differences that maintained them separated by 20 years, will return to touch together offering at least two concerts in the city of joint Londres.El made up of Roger Waters (under), David Gilmour (guitar), Nick Mason (battery) and Rick Wright (keyboards), it accepted to live touch in the traditional Royal Albert Hall of the British capital, in two concerts programmed for aims of 2006.Desde the successful meeting of the band in his brief live appearance in the London concert of “Live 8”, in last July, was going up to around the doubt if a tour were possible that reviviera the best years of grupo.Si of tours it has well still not been spoken, Pink Floyd indicated that yes it will meet to touch again in next November. “Live 8 felt like a crucial point in the race of the group. They are very contentments to return to touch again in a scene “, declared a source near banda.Además, informed that in a moment the 7,000 entrances available for both conciertos.Pink Floyd will be put on sale achieved a success without precedents with their album” Dark Side Of The Moon “, that from 1973 stayed 27 years in the lists of sold discs more in the United States. Another one of its successful works was “The Wall”, of 1981, that sold more than 23 million copies in the world.

Apparently having never heard of an obscure organization called the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino, and having overlooked that enormous neon guitar just off the Las Vegas Strip, Rolling Stone founder Jann Wenner plans to develop a hotel, casino and music venue with a rock & roll theme.

The Rolling Stone Hotel and Casino, scheduled for completion by 2008, will not only compete directly with the more established Hard Rock for guests, gamblers, and music acts…it will also sit right smack in the same neighborhood as its primary competitor.

Now, it’s not that Vegas ain’t big enough for two music-themed casinos. Lord knows, there are plenty of music acts in Vegas–including several that probably couldn’t earn a living anywhere else.

But at least the House of Blues had the good sense to set up shop at Mandalay Bay, at the far end of the strip from the Hard Rock…not just a (rolling) stone’s throw from its nemesis.
