Syd Barrett dead @ 60 (Pink Floyd)
http://www.showbuzz.cbsnews.com/stor...n1790469.shtml
Pink Floyd Co-Founder Dead At 60 Syd Barrett Spent His Last Years In Reclusive Anonymity Quote:
Although Syd has been in seclusion for many years, his influence on Pink Floyd was huge. I liked several of his lyrics to early Pink Floyd music. (See Emily Play, Bike and others.) He will be missed by many in the music world. ![]()

Birdy Hop, he do! So long, Syd.
I really didn't like the quote from "his biographer". Aside from the fact that he never authorized a biography, the guy said he only lived half a life. *hisss* Just because he didn't let people into his life after 1970 doesn't mean he wasn't living it. Brother! I played all my Floyd Syd songs at work. When I get home I'll play the solo albums and then watch Tonight Let's All Make Love in London... after the baseball game (I have priorities, LOL!) |

It's funny how it can be so sad when someone is not not there any more.
Syd was a classic barking genius. It makes me want to buy all those old albums that I only ever had on tape. The only one of his I've got on vinyl is Relics, a good one, but some of the live albums are unmissable. |
