Wish Syd Barrett Was Still Here With Us

From my radio at my desk at work this morning, I heard the sad news of Pink Floyd co-founder, Syd Barrett, passing away in England.  The disc jockey said he had died on Friday and it seems that the cause of death might be diabetes-related.

I almost felt like crying because Syd had a difficult life after he left Pink Floyd in the late 1960s.  Over the years I've heard stories about his use of LSD might have caused the nervious breakdown that he never really recovered from.

RIP Syd
