 strikingly similiar to the cover art on RDJ..could richard
 have been floyd influenced?

 | I always wanted to know - what happened to Syd Barrett? Is he alive? But, most importantly, does he have a webpage?
 
 Teehee..just kidding about the webpage

 | his mother died - he was allegedly polishing off a book on architecture but i have found no trace of it. he wasn't
 insitutionalised - he voluntarily checked into a home for
 raving lunatics, and that was way back in the early '70s. i
 remember seeing a picture of him when he was chubby with
 short receeding dark hair - man it almost broke my heart
 that picture.
