Very off topic but I just heard on the Radio that Syd Barrett has died.

I was really shocked and sad when I found out - he was a personal hero of mine

R.I.P. Syd

The media may prevent any future Syd Barrett's from surfacing. ie. a genius wiuth a distance.It might be impossible to be that reclusive nowadays with out doing yourself in.

Which is sad because art from a distance and with aynouminity is the best kind.

That is a major bummer. According to the newslink, it was a couple days ago. Does anyone know the date? I was just curious as I listened to Saucerful of Secrets this past weekend for various reasons...

RIP Syd.

You lived a mysterious and reclusive life, and now your death is a bit mysterious as well. Notice how no reports have an exact date of death listed? How do we know its true? Perhaps Syd Barrett and Jim Morrison are in South America recording an album right now...wishful thinking I guess....but Phantom has yet to release another album....
