"It's sad that these people think he's such a wonderful subject, that he's a living legend when, in fact, there is this poor sad man who can't deal with life or himself. He's got uncontrollable things in him that he can't deal with and people think it's a marvellous, wonderful, romantic thing. It's just a sad, sad thing, a very nice and talented person who's just disintegrated."

~David Gilmour, Musician Magazine

There were two parts to Syd. He was an incredible musician, and he was also schizophrenic, according to many people. I don't know for sure... or maybe it was manic depression?

Syd Barrett was brilliant, he just so happened to go overboard and took way too much LSD. They didn't know the things we know now, that taking acid in those amounts can destroy you.

Which is a good thing because acid was his ******* 'magic potion' that made his music sound cool.
