often inclined to borrow somebody's dreams till tomorrow
dear friends,
according to the associated press, syd barrett, founding member of (& coiner of the band name) pink floyd, died several days ago. no details have been released as to how he died. he was sixty-years old.
I wasn't too familiar with barrett until I got an education from j about barrett's time with floyd, subsequent solo material & slow mental disintegration. a sad tale indeed.
here are a couple of my favorite syd songs, one in the form of a floyd promo clip, the other in the form of a cover by former blur guitarist & syd barrett enthusiast, graham coxon.
see emily play/pink floyd
love you/graham coxon
love, d

Nice Coxon video. Haven't seen that one before. BTW, if you look up Syd Barrett on Wikipedia, you'll find more info on his passing. It's tagged as a current event, so people are updating it as info comes in. Last I read, he had diabetes and died due to complications.
thanks liz! I read/saw all the coverage last night with varying degrees of huh & what the...?
I guess we can look forward to the inevitable bio-pic starring: (insert name of hip actor du jour)
Impossibly hip actor would have to gain a lot of weight and shave his eyebrows and hair at a certain point in the film. Can impossibly hip actors do that? It seems very un-Entourage.c
jared leto porked up for that chapman movie. he knows that's the only way to get oscars. though I wouldn't call him impossibly hip, he is jordan catalano after all.
