Syd, Pink Floyd, Gratuitous Sex Pistol Insult

Just caught like the last five minutes of a documentary on VH1 called _The
Pink Floyd and Syd Barrett Story_ or some such, mostly just a 1980
performance of "Shine On You Crazy Diamond", a bit of Syd doing one of his
more discursive post-Floyd songs, and finally an old B&W home-movie of the
band doing one of the _Piper_ songs which ran to the side as the credits
rolled, and it just about blew my head off.

Syd was punk; the Sex Pistols were just punks (although I've read that Sid
Vicious was a Van der Graaf fan, which no wonder he couldn't take it).

Having said that, I still after forty years hold "Set the Controls for the
Heart of the Sun" dearest of any song off either of the first two Floyd
albums, and that was by Waters.

Counting the leaves which tremble at dawn
Lotuses lean on each other in the early morn
Under the leaves the swallow is resting

I've always thought it was a shame waters didn't take as much acid as syd,
perhaps he wouldn't have become such a depressing cunt.

That so many sweet flowers bore.

And tombstones where flowers should be;
And priests in black gowns were walking their rounds,
And binding with briars my joys and desires."

Could've been a bad trip, involving childhood memories of WWII or
something.

Anyway, I always thought he was a proper SOB, and have always thought that
he was the divisive agent in the band, although I've begun to wonder about
that in recent years.
