Good night Mr Barrett

I'd not really feel right without acknowledging the resignation of Syd from the Pink Floyd, the band he created before 1965, on this day in 1968.

God bless, and 'seven feet under the keel', Syd

Last I heard he was alive and (comparatively) well and living in Cambridge, IIRC. Some paparazzi photos of him showed up on some hi-fi website (can't recall which) in the past year or so.

I have a copy of a special Floyd tribute mag from Mojo with the aforementioned pics. Dunno if they're available on their site. Sounds like Barrett just wants to be left alone after the big stink they caused when they were published.

Reading through the mag, I find it interesting that they're more interested in Syd's work while Americans are more into DSTOM & later. I never wrapped my brain around Syd's work...

The interviews are a lot more candid than the lame ones found in US mags.
