RIP Syd Barrett

Quote:
Syd Barrett, one of the original members of legendary rock group Pink Floyd, has died at the age of 60 from complications arising from diabetes.

RIP Syd.

I actually preferred Floyd post-Syd, but they wouldn't have been the same without him.

I'm surprised the students here didn't have some sort of vigil.

Never met him. Although I did suspect the guy who walks round town with a toilet roll dispenser (or rubber chicken, his underpants or a loaf of bread) on his head was him.

Aye, shine on.

plenty of early clips on You Tube ... Apples and Oranges, Jugband Blues, Astronomy Domine etc ... ah ... back when they were still 'The Pink Floyd'

I feel better for watching a few of them ....
A bit of Dolly Rocker would go down well today if i can find it ....

Old Gag - but still worth a chuckle.

Yeah I couldn't help myself when Narate posted.

As for it being old, didn't the headbutt only happen sunday at some kind of weird foreign football match?

yeah but that 'Murder On The Dance Floor' tune was out in 2002 .... and the Zidane joke wasn't that far behind it - so still a good 3 or 4 years ago ...

Keep Up.
