WoW you just **Amaze** me you seem like a very **Caring** & **BeautifulBeing** & as i said before ahead of your time & very **Thoughtful** **Luvit** **Beautiful Reaction** to a **TrippyMeaningfulSong** YAY!
@@OCG_Silver He is a cult figure, for sure. Very polarizing. His solo work is interesting, and his live Floyd work is absolutely fantastic. There is a story that when they went on the disastrous American tour they wound up in Los Angeles. They were on the same card as Alice Cooper. The bands would hang out and Syd would jam with Cooper's guitarist. Piper had just come out and Alice was obsessed. If you ever hear early Alice Cooper it sounds a lot like Syd Barrett Pink Floyd. Alice told about am infamous breakfast they had together when the PF stayed over at Cooper's apartment (they were broke.) Alice said that Syd would sit and talk to his Corn Flakes! Sad stuff. Syd just wanted to play guitar and paint pictures. He never wanted to be famous.
Syd was so influential that he has achieved this status in rock as a sort of Martyr. If you ever go back to listen to Shine On Your Crazy Diamond, this is why they refer to him by saying he was a legend, a martyr, they even continue by saying that he was a piper (first album reference) and a prisoner (of his own mind). "Come on you stranger, you legend, you martyr, and shine!" "Come on you raver, you seer of visions, Come on you painter, you piper, you prisoner, and shine!"
Drugs are awful, but it was a bit as much of metal illness as drugs that plagued syd....two years prior to this he was pretty normal, happy guy & everyone loved him, & he did tne drugs everyone else was doing, & then in 1967 he began to slip away a bit, his eyes got really vacant....since the metal health care & treatment field was pretty much non-existant back then (compared to today) , he just kind of rotted away metally, by 1974, or 1975 it was all over...he went back home to love with his family who kept him away from his old friends & music, he did a lot of painting/art....he was up & down over the decades, considering the mental health treatments, he managed to live a pretty quiet life, i think...ive been a bit of a fan for decades, but only in these last months have i really started to seek out documantaries & stuff to learn more about him
i think he was on tour at this point. Syd was at the point where he checked out and wasn't into being a star... I think he got a taste of it and realized it wasn't for him... obviously taking psychedelics to the leve l he did would have and adverse affect. Its actually quite sad.. He was so talented. Fun fact it was syd who said he wanted the salvation army band to play a part in this song.

Yes!
What exactly is a dream, and what exactly is a joke? Syd had his demons alright. So talented.

The interlude was a Salvation Army band that Syd pulled in. He said: Just play whatever.

I hear that toward the end of his life he was doing better mentally. He wasnt so out of it toward the end from what Ive heard.
