What is the significance of Pink shaving all the hair off his body in The Wall?
Maybe Syd's visit to the studio during the final mix of Shine on?
Very close.
I think I heard it was based on an incident where Syd was at a party, and he just left, shaved off all his hair, and returned to the party, acting like nothing out of the ordinary had happened.

I know it's definitely a reference to Syd; so maybe it symbolizes his losing his mind? (going insane)
It's really a bit of all of those. Syd did shave all his hair off and his eyebrows, (not sure when, could have been a party), and it was a shaven, fat Syd who turned up to the Shine on sessions.

It was seen as party a new beginning, maybe a break away from the pop image he had gained, but it was his mental state that made him do it.
What was Storm's idea for the cover of animals that roger rejected?
Wish You Were Here definately
Not sure what exactly is meant by that answer, what animals cover was rejected, wish you were here. Doesn't make any sense.

Just to help you in the right direction, it is in Storms book and on this website somewhere. Just do an animals search on the message boards. :;):
I think it was a cover that showed a young child holding a teddy bear walking in on his parents having sex.
You think right.

Here's one that may take you back. David Gilmour is linked to Comic Relief in which musical way?
