If you have to ask, you'll never know. I know you didn't ask though.
RIP, he made some of my favorite songs ever. Jugband Blues, Dominoes, See Emily Play... man. He seemed like someone that was never going to die, even though he should have already been dead.

i still love those old pink floyd records, and his solo stuff too. despite his not working for 30+ years i'm still sad to see him go.
what a drag to see him still exploited as a drug casualty. all the people in that late sixties scene took acid, and some more than syd.

FLAMING:
Alone in the clouds all blue Lying on an eiderdown. Yippee! You can't see me But I can you. Lazing in the foggy dew Sitting on a unicorn. No fair, you can't hear me But I can you. Watching buttercups cup the light Sleeping on a dandelion. Too much, I won't touch you But then I might. Screaming through the starlit sky Travelling by telephone. Hey ho, here we go Ever so high. Alone in the clouds all blue Lying on an eiderdown. Yippee! You can't see me But I can you.
oh, the poetry...peace man!

well, I have even heard one solo album of Barrett, Opel was the album's title. Liked one track there a bit.
offtopic = Roger Waterz was going to have a geeg here in Kiev a few days ago but he got lazy and decided not to come but stay home and play golph, betraying many fans (among which I cannot be found) whoe have already bought not so cheap tickets.

it's awfully considerate of you to think of me here and I'm most obliged to you for making it clear that I'm not here
and I never knew the moon could be so big and I never knew the moon could be so blue and I'm grateful that you threw away my old shoes and brought me here instead dressed in red
and I'm wondering who could be writing this song
I don't care if the sun don't shine and I don't care if nothing is mine and I don't care if I'm nervous with you I'll do my loving in the winter.
and the sea isn't green and I love the queen and what exactly is a dream? and what exactly is a joke?

sorry, maybe i just didn't understand what you meant by saying it was inevitable. isn't it inevitable for everyone? maybe you had heard that he was seriously ill?

Fair enough. I really meant it in the context that he was bound to die early (60 is still not that old in my book) because of his past health issues. :)

I always thought he'd be one of those guys that live to a ripe old age DESPITE his past. Keith Richards style. Anyway I just hope he was content. We hear stories and legends about him but nobody REALLY knows just what he was like.
