“The Syd Barret years...”

I often wonder what it would have been like if Syd Barret hadn’t destroyed his mind with drugs. Rick Wright once said that Syd never wanted to be a rock star, he just wanted to play interesting music and push the boundaries, Roger Waters was the one that would sell his soul for rock stardom.

It was David Gilmour that basically took care of Syd, making sure he got his royalties and made sure he was taken care of.

I live Dave, I’m sure he’s as left as Waters is, but he’s much nicer about it at least.
