Syd Barrett died

Rest In Peace.

i did like syd, but he did only do one album with pink floyd, he was great though. I heard the news this morning while i was tokin up, so i dedicated it to syd. May he rest in peace.

I dont know but he had diabetes so it could have been related to that

interesting enough, syd was a schizophrenic. I've read somewhere that, in persons with schizophrenia, there is also increased probability that the person will develop diabetes. don't ask me to quote the source, just google it..

damn, i LOVE piper at the gates of dawn, Lucifer Sam is definitly my favorite song on that album

I have had the song "crazy diamond" in my head all day today.

Talented musician.

yeah your right about the diabetes and schizophrenia i heard that he had a really small case of schizophrenia but than all the acid didnt help it but i dunno

=( =(

its awfuly considerate of you to think of me here,
