I have to say I'm very sad at the news just came in that Syd Barrett is dead. How sad - and it seemed in many ways his life was quite sad too - but who knows? -at least he had the enormous integrity to not do the comeback that he was continually hounded to do and which many of his contemporaries embarassingly did do. I love his music - particularly 'waving my arms in the air' and he had a few really magical years. Beautiful then too.
Of course, Syd actually died many years ago - it's Roger Barrett who just passed on
bless you both....

Ah, the memores that come to mind.
All I know is that if I have a kid and we get him/her a mouse, we're calling him Gerald. And we won't know why.
that's a very cool idea lc.
if you hear about a Syd tribute album (there is bound to be one right?), let us know - I would love to do a track with Valentine for him.
I thought you might be interested in this.
It's John doing Golden Hair.
