syd barrett is a genius.
that's a fact.
his solo albums are extremely good, and also they provide an insight into a man in the process of a breakdown, which is pretty scary.
Apparently after each recording session Barrett would turn left if he was going to come back the next day, and right if he wouldn't.
The last session he ever did, he turned right and that was the last the studio ever saw of him.
I think this story sums up the unpredictability of working with him, but his songs come straight from his heart, and I like the way he was obviously at the lowest possible point in himself but his songs are so sweet and joyful.
he is a hero
