Pink Floyd 1967 full interview [Syd Barrett & Roger Waters]

It's the nature of music to bring tragedy since it busts our lives into tiny pieces when we lose the good ones we love the most.  Syd Barrett is the textbook example of schizophrenia or something of that nature but one of the hallmarks is it accelerates as one ages.

In this interview with Syd Barrett and Roger Waters, both show us total lucidity which altogether belies that which was to come.

Note:  don't misinterpret a word of this to mean anything negative about David Gilmour after we have been trippin' with him so many times there's no way to count.


However, we miss Syd Barrett and identify with him strongly.




There's sufficient evidence in the Silas life to consider borderline schizophrenia but I disagree with Roger Waters and his estimation that it's compounded by the use of drugs since it was already there in having difficulty discerning that which is real and that which is not.  That topic has come up multiple times in Ithaka and I do believe my view of things is consistent with the true relative reality of various things.

But many people think I'm a raving lunatic.  I've got to go back to Lawrence of Arabia for that one since the trick is not minding people thinking you're a raving lunatic ... but that's another symptom observes the sage psychiatric observer with a fistful of prescription meds.
