A sad day indeed. He could have been one of the greats like Elvis or Bob Dylan but went crazy instead. I'll miss him.
I was never the biggest fan of the early Floyd, but an interesting character indeed, if not a more interesting story. A lesson in 'predisposition to mental illness + drugs = disaster'. I think his greastest legacy was carried out in his influnce on those arround him that went on to make the great music that we eventually heard.

The scary thing is that he was only 60.

Yes, a truly sad day.
It's been A piper at the gates of dawn all day on my play list.

I've got a bike.
You can ride it if you like.
It's got a basket, a bell that rings,
and things to make it look good.
I'd give it to you if I could, but I borrowed it.
