Syd Barrett - R.I.P.

Roger "Syd" Barrett, founding member of Pink Floyd has died at the age of 60 from diabetes.

One of the most interesting, elusive muscians of the 60's he combined a fragile psyche with chronic doses of LSD, according to reports, and fell into the black hole of schizophrenia from which he possibly never emerged.  Ultimately a schizophrenic is self-absorbed; they lose any interest in anything outside themselves.  We all hope we can find the "inner being" that must be present.  But you never do.

Syd Barrett ultimately had no interest or even awareness of Pink Floyd by the time he passed away.  Those years were, undoubtedly, buried behind "The Wall" never to be reclaimed.

I wonder what God does with broken Schizophrenics?
