CHICAGO — The other day I called Kyle Stong and asked if I could come over to his house and listen to “The Dark Side of the Moon” with him. It was like I was in junior high again. Except, I didn’t know him and he didn’t know me. But the album turned 50 years old this month, and I didn’t want to celebrate alone. Plus, Stong is co-founder of Think Floyd USA, a venerable, nine-piece Chicago-based Pink Floyd tribute act. They’ve been doing it for 19 years, about as long as the brain trust of Pink Floyd remained intact.
Stong was surprised at my call, but said, “Uh, yeah ... OK.”
Then added: “I mean, every time I listen to ‘Dark Side,’ I do hear something new.”
