The once “Glamour on Legs”

When we think about Kurt Cobaine or Jim Morrison and their premature death we suffer but eventually get over it. They are death and there´s nothing we can do about it. They didn´t turn their back on music, their lives just turn their back on them. But again, when we think about Syd Barett, a walking talent (until last 2k6) that gave up all his stardom at age 24 is very hard to understand.

He surely had Lucy in the Skies with Dynamites instead of Diamonds but is it fair to blame it all on mental sanity? I have seen a lot of cocky people doing incredible stuff! I don´t want to believe that my life is over if I start seeing people and hearing voices (which will probably happen). It´s sad and curious at the same time. Fortunately, the greatest thing about music is that it never dies , let´s just put repeat 10 x on “See Emily plays” .
This was meant to be a Pink Floyd post and now is just a No-color floid!
