I was just going to post this.

Bummer.

I wake up from a codeine induced sleep (rather apropos) to learn of this.

Sad day indeed.


RIP Syd.

 

The name should perhaps have meaning to me but alas it does not.

 

PINK FLOYD

 

Co-Founder of Pink Floyd

Had a mental breakdown.

Replaced by David Gilmore.


The album Wish You Were Here was a tribute to him.

A genius whose mind got the better of him. (His drug use didn't help either).

 

Ahhh a rock group...never heard their music though

 

some of the greatest music ever......

 

Syd inspired an entire generation of musicians. He influenced the influencers.


The father of British psychedelia

 

You've never heard Pink Floyd? I find that hard to believe.

I gonna need more codeine to cope with this.

 

Pink Floyd and The Wizard of Oz....Anyone know what I'm talking about?

 

never tried it.....have you?.....does it really work out as expected?

 

It's Dark Side of the Moon and The Wizard of Oz.

Supposedly there's is some syncronicity, except that the album does not last as long as the movie, and people insist you need to use the THX remaster of Oz (which didn't exist when DSotM ws produced).

Whatever. Myth.

 

Well let me put it this way...if I've heard the music (movie, tv, commericial, etc) I wouldn't know its them.

 

He reached for the secret too soon......

Sad, really.

R.I.P.
