Nice picture SS...now that is funny!

It's not really a song analysis per say...

because those noises Syd Barrett made in a solo work aren't elligable for song status...?

What is 'elligable'? And why do you have a punctuation mark at the end of your username?

To separate me from the flock.

I like to see how far wound up I can get supposed "Peace and love generation" people.

Do you think I would be employed if I was like this in real life? No

Someone can even admit to being purposefully disruptive, disrespectful and trolling for reactions that sideline discussions on a regular basis here and nothing is done about it...

...yet a couple of silly pictures provoke an immediate reaction. Make up your mind, is this place over moderated or under moderated?

By the way the pictures weren't random. It was a fairy laughing at the previous comments whilst having smoke blown up her ass by a disembodied bear head. It's not my fault if you can't figure out the significance of that.

Metal Mickey, you'll have to have drinks with 2066 and me one day.

No, I think that the reason that special attention was given to them is because I reported the post, due to the fact that it was completely random and would only fit in the "Thom Yorke dances like a headless chicken" thread.

Lets bring this discussion back on topic..... and quit the insult throwing....

if you cant add anything positive or construcive in your critism then dont post in this forum...

Theresa is correct, Syd is supposed to have written this song after coming back from a Bob Dylan concert in 1963, but never actually recorded it till 1970... he was supposed to have gone with David Gilmour to the concert.......

Although R&B, improvised music and nursery rhyme-like folksong clearly influenced Barrett, the Dylan connection is far more obscure. Barrett and Gilmour -- at the time mere Cambridge-based teenage beat buffs -- did catch the visiting American at an early show in London in 1963, and it's likely that "Bob Dylan's Blues" was written during the following months. Peter Barnes, Pink Floyd's music publisher, maintains, "It's one of Syd's very earliest songs written before he even had a publishing deal."

The 1970 recording, with Barrett accompanying himself on acoustic guitar, is a neat take on Dylan's early, talking blues style. While finger-picking with typical, Dylan-like imprecision, Barrett gently lampoons Dylan's activism and instead plays up the singer's infamous nonchalance: "Got the Bob Dylan blues/And the Bob Dylan shoes/And my clothes and my hair's in a mess/But you know/I just couldn't care less." The chorus is equally even-handed: "Cos I'm a poet/Doncha know it/And the wind, you can blow it/Cos I'm Mr. Dylan, the King/And I'm free as a bird on the wing."

Though he later adopted Dylan's unkempt curly-top hairstyle, this is the first aural evidence of Syd Barrett's early enthusiasm for Dylan and provides an amusing aside to his more brain-teasing material.

Thanks Henno, that was really a great read! Pretty much sums it up, I guess.

I finally understand what it's like for other people to have to wade through endless mossifications.

Mea culpa...but that doesn't mean I'll never do it again
