Syd Barrett, RIP

200607111059

Pink Floyd co-founder Syd Barret died at the age of 60. He was a profoundly original songwriter and musician whose career was cut short in the early 70s by mental illness. If you haven't heard any of his solo albums, I recommend them. You can catch his music the great Internet radio station, Technicolor Web of Sound.
