Shine on You Crazy Diamond

Syd Barrett passed is gone. Diabetes. What a tragic story for such a troubled soul. But perhaps the worst thing about his passing is his troubled legacy. This always seems to be a theme of mine, talking about legacies. But back to the point, shall we. Anyway, he will always be remembered as the guy who helped found Pink Floyd and then was kicked out because of a mental breakdown. But that story has been the same for the past 30 years. He died the same way he left public consciousness, a talented musician and a troubled soul. As fans of Pink Floyd, we owe a debt to Syd. Especially helping to create and inspire some of the best and most influential music of our time.
