Syd Barrett, gone on the steel breeze

Sad News. Everyone grab your 'Wish You Were Here' album and crank up Shine On You Crazy Diamond I-IX in loving tribute to the founder and early forerunner of one of the greatest bands to EVER grace our stages. Syd Barrett passed away this week, complications from diabetes seems to be the cause.

I know David Gilmour is touring Europe, now. Wonder if he and Waters can bridge the gap long enough to grace Syd's funeral? Anyone smell a Pink Floyd reunion in the air? No? Well, neither do I but one can ALWAYS hope!

My best to his family and friends. Shine on you crazy diamond, indeed! Syd was 60 years old.
