“Did you exchange
A walk-on part in the war for a lead role in a cage?”

You were caught in the crossfire of childhood and stardom
Blown on the steel breeze
Come on you target for faraway laughter
Come on you stranger, you legend, you martyr, and shine
Shine On You Crazy Diamond, Part IV (1975)

“ #SydBarrett was more off the wall, but David brought a sort of #blues sensibility to #PinkFloyd & then had to do the experimental stuff as well, too … He evolved in his own way of creating weird & wonderful sounds” #DavidGilmour #PhilManzanera #guitar #music www.guitarworld.com/artists/guit...

"1967 - Vacations In The Past" by #RobynHitchcock.
60s nostalgia has always been a Hitch thing - an eternal fanboy of #Beatles, #SydBarrett, #Doors, #Dylan etc. since his early 80s debut solo.
While predictable, this 2024 cover album (the eerie title track is a new) is just superb! Kicks of with "Whiter Shade Of Pale" w/some cool backwards sounds. There's mainly acoustic #Hendrix "Midnight Lamp". Also "See Emily Play". Ends w/killer "A Day In The Life".
It's a nice trip.
"Shine On You Crazy Diamond" is a nine-part composition recorded by English rock band #PinkFloyd written by #DavidGilmour, #RogerWaters, and #RichardWright, which was first performed on their #1974FrenchTour and appeared in their 1975 concept album #WishYouWereHere. The song is written about and dedicated to founding member #SydBarrett, who departed from the band in 1968 after dealing with mental health problems and substance abuse.

Arrived today and started to read "Beeswing" by #RichardThompson. So far I've learned he's a distant cousing of #SydBarrett. Wow.

Chilli night seems to have come around quickly. Starting off #JonsCookingMusic with the inimitable Syd Barrett. His second album recorded at Abbey Road. Most people say The Madcap Laughs is his best, but I think I prefer this one, or at least it’s as good. #SydBarrett #vinyl
I wonder if #ChatGPT ever #Listened to #SydBarrett #Opel, front to back.
In particular, I believe the track is titled "The word song". That seems like a study for the ol' AI.

I mean, no less of a human and songwriter than #robynhitchcock
