that is a good article
it goes way beyond the usual madcap/burnout cliches that usually get trotted out
and is a good analysis of what really was so innovative about what Syd did with music
the stuff reputation should be based on

A wonderful article indeed! I especially appreciate the way he ends it:

(The author would like to express his thanks to musician and Art Damage radio show co-founder Dan Williams, who introduced him to Syd Barrett back in 1984, a debt that the author can never hope to repay and for which he is eternally grateful.)
