The Long, Strange Trip of ‘Dark Side of the Moon,’ 50 Years Later
It was the right album at the exact right time. The triumph of Dark Side is
the establishment in rock of cosmic identity, how the personal and the universal intersect. It’s an album about the internal experience, magnified to be about the universe, the cosmos, the nature of life itself. ¶ Also, The Dark Side of the Moon is stupid. Really dumb, right? “It’s about LIFE, DUDE.”
