The drummer in my band is schizotypal, a chronic cannabis user, and is generally seen as a mad poet. We love him and he's talented AF but like Syd, got too high and never fully came down. I help take care of him for every day stuff, we all do. A loveable man like Syd who got too close to the sun in the music industry and burned out. They are beautiful people inside.

Jenner’s comments about Madcap and Barrett are so small and narrow. Of course they aren’t what they could have been. Of course, they were produced by a damaged and reduced Syd. If you could open up your brain, little man, you might recognize that several of those pieces - Octopus, Dominoes, Dark Globe, Late Night - rough as they are, reveal even more genius than Piper.

Well, if you have predisposition conditions like Syd, and then becoming friends with the chemists, using it for weeks on end, abuse is abuse. However, responsible use just simply doesn't end this way, though they didn't know that at the time. I'm not sure to where you get this notion of leaching the body or the nervous system, if you mean 'trapped in spinal fluid', which simply isn't true, 'cid' leaves your body within 12-14 hours, but you can have small flashbacks which last maybe 5 seconds, which is more to do so with the mind and frequency of use, along with other drugs such as doing it in short rapid succession, 6 months break in between trips at a minimum. Each to their own though...

I'm certain now Neil Young wrote "Naked Rider" (Hawks and Doves?) for Syd. This first hit me on an analytic level - old homestead, although the moon isn't full, he still feels the pull, and the similar, er, vectors of their given names.... And then, "it" hit me. The muse itself glyphed. Pretty deep stuff, all 'round.

The healthy Syd Barrett was very creative. He was a talented, gifted young man. The first record with Pink Floyd The Piper... is a good record. Unfortunately he had the wrong friends. He took LSD several times a week. That's too much. No brain can handle that... Syd wrote 52 songs. On his 2 solo records Syd was on the verge of schizophrenia... Drug addiction is a mental illness!!! He was lethargic... He didn't live in the here and now... He had problems thinking and speaking..... He could no longer play the right scale... He wanted to climb walls.... He wanted to start a cult... He wanted to hit his sister Rosemary on the head with his guitar 🎸... He wanted to become a doctor and get married.... At 22, Syd was a sick person.. Psychiatry wasn't advanced enough at the time... He stopped therapy.. 🎞️🎥 His whole life should be made into a film.. I don't know if he ever found redemption or peace for his soul ???? He failed as a painter and musician.

Peter Kroll so real research is ofcourse something many people would be interested in....like myself for example. I don’t like black white stuff either....but I’d like to get more comfortable with his story. So far I think he tried to embrace that religion he was refused entry in to on his own and his band mates weren’t right for HIM. He said in an interview the were students of architecture and “boring”. This broadcast is the first I heard he was very stubborn which turns on some lights. And the man could not have been without some ego. This is my 3rd day of “research”. Ha ha....I like to be a little obsessed with a thing and not many things grab me. So.....what I mean to say....can you direct me to some stuff you have found that strikes a chord with you regarding Barrett? Thanks

I can see that's a great album but had SB worked with Kevin Ayers and not DG and if those songs had been kept on saucerful then there would have been no doubt it was still SYDs band . Instead all we got were weaker songs for the 2 DG controlled solo albums . It's a pity he didn't break free from his Treacherous colleagues who booted him out made sure his frankly better songs were sabotaged and even made sure set the controls for the heart of the sun and and let there be more light of which there is undoubtedly live evidence from early performances of those songs that SB was not even credited on those songs .
