Syd Barrett
« on: May 28, 2008, 07:35:03 PM »

I love Syd's post Floyd work. The musicians did a good job of emulating his sound on this cartoon.

Moonshine trousers of my little one/ lumps in the porridge why oh why, lumps in the porridge why oh why.
Thats almost pure Syd. If he ever gets sick of cartoons, they ought to make music!

Pink Floyd called Syd Crazy Diamond. But I think it happened later.

I can`t say i like the picture above, sorry! Cause he was extremely handsome, and here the nose is too wide or broad, what do you call it?

I wonder if he also suffered from OCD. It would explain the shaving and obsessive tooth brushing anyway.

^^^^^I think he might have.  But I've read a few books on Syd, and I haven't decided if his "condition" was caused by too many drugs or was it something he was born with.  Shed some light on me about this...........

i did read he may have had it but nothing was ever proved. i think his leaving the
Floyd was a mixture of pressure & drugs. i've never liked Piper at the Gates of
Dawn but i do love Syd's solo work.
