Maxxx, thanks for posting that article... I think I have a much clearer idea now of what he was really like and how his mind worked.

Joe, that's really cool about Syd's sister coming to see you guys and meeting her and all!

great article. it only makes the man more intriguing and more of a mystery. Genius is such a broad spectrum word. But I think that syd is a genius. You don't have to sell a million albums/books/paintings/ etc. to be a genius. I just wish that he could have been more accessible. I don't mean that I would want his e-mail address. But I would definitely subscribe to his blog. Roger "Syd" Barrett was a special soul.

JP:

I did not know she came to see you guys. It was probably like meeting the queen!

It is very interesting to get her perspective as an "insider". The press can only sensationalize someone like Syd.
