I want to be selfish for once. This space is about me. I can talk and think, uninterrupted. Might be of relevance... or maybe not.

Syd


(January 6, 1946 – July 7, 2006)


"A genius is a person with distinguished mental abilities".
And Syd Barret was definitely such a guy. You can't help but draw a resemblance to pink, the wall's main character. and this is no surprise.
Syd, a great inspirational musician, started what came down in history as one of the best bands of all time, Pink Floyd.
It is no wonder that they dedicated a whole album just for him, the crazy diamond. and we wish he was still here.

PS: He passed away during the craziness of last month, so I saved this until the tribute does not go unnoticed.

Nobody knows where you are, how near or how far.
...Shine on you crazy diamond.
Pile on many more layers and I'll be joining you there.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
And we'll bask in the shadow of yesterday's triumph,
and sail on the steel breeze.
Come on you boy child, you winner and loser,
come on you miner for truth and delusion, and shine!

Shine on You crazy Diamond was dedicated to Syd. Ironically, Shine (S) on You (Y) crazy Diamond (D), SYD. Interesting.
So much time, so many emotions all from just listening to pink floyd. It is more than just music.
