| 07 Jul 2006 Syd Barrett died from complications arising from

| o diabetes aged 60. The singer, songwriter, guitarist was o

| one of the founding members of Pink Floyd, active as a

| o rock musician for only about seven years before he went o

| into seclusion. He joined Pink Floyd in 1965 but left

| o three years later after one album. Barrett released two o

| solo albums before going into self-imposed seclusion

| o lasting more than thirty years, with his mental o

| deterioration blamed on drugs.


;( Syd actually played on at least part of their second album, and also appeared on singles, like "See Emily Play" and "Arnold Layne" that were not
on either album.

I have read claims from the band that he was ok one day and then, after an
acid trip, was not at all ok and never was. I recently watched a
documentary about Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys, and he apparently had a similar experience.

Yeah, there were a few stories like this back in the day - people who took a trip and never truly returned home. When you're dropping the same tabs as everyone else, I guess it's just plain old bad luck, karma, or whatever you want to call it. I've seen cannabis do much the same thing - some people are fine, and others acquire a psychosis/paranoia that never really leaves them.

That Brian Wilson documentary sounds interesting, where did you see it?

It was on PBS two or three weeks ago. I think it was an episode of the American Masters series. It was interesting, but it was mostly about him,
and a lot about him now. They did not spend quite as much time on the
Beach Boys era as I would have liked but, as it is about him and he is
still recording/performing, it makes sense.

I saw a similar documentary on Dennis a while back, where they covered the whole Manson thing etc - not what I was expecting, but still very interesting nonetheless. I'll keep my eyes peeled for this on PBS.
