I must admit i knew very little about Syd and the early days of Pink Floyd until a couple of months ago. I watched a great documentary about
Syd's life and music. I remember thinking about what a great lyricist he was and his wonderful imagination. And also the way you can hear how his
musical voice really shaped the PF sound even after he wasn't a member anymore.
And there's that story about how Roger and Nick and David hadn't seen Syd for a decade or so, and then he suddenly appears at the Shine On
sessions overweight and bald standing or sitting in a corner of the studio. None of the guys had any idea who this guy was until someone mentioned
that Syd Barrett was around.
Very sad.

Well I don't know any of his solo records and I don't really like his Pink floyd records, but anyway it's always sad to see a creator
waste his talent and disappear.

It is always sad to lose creative people. I personally find the Barrett - Floyd albums alot more entertaining ( and alot less depressing ) than the
rest of PFs catalogue......
