"And in 'Meddle' the PF certainly weren't glorifying drugs, right...? :)" Oh really? And what about Cutti in to little pieces, grandma's cake, or a sheet of acid? And how do you feel the Echoes, from all that beer or with acid? ... It's you who doesn't use drugs and doesn't understand the allusions. Even 'Bike' stands for Hoffmann, and Hoffmann stands for acid. Ha, you’re just too naive ;))

How do I get out of this? THEY'VE MADE ALBUMS WORTH HALF OF HALF OF HALF OF HALF OF HALF OF HALF OF A NAIL OF SYD. The Floyd stop at Meddle, return in The Wall, and disappear forever.

Ah, anyway, I'm not saying that "they wouldn't have done it without drugs," I have no idea and no desire to think about "what if the opposite had happened." I'm just saying "they were high as kites and they did those things," period, no reasoning behind it, what they did, they did as junkies. And I've never been good at the game of "what if." Plus, it's pointless.

Okay, fuck, on the talent issue, we’re on the same page, but it’s not necessarily true that in the '60s you could only write through drugs: drug use was in vogue, but maybe the composition had some clarity... Maybe not for you, maybe yes for me. I think they were all getting high, from the lyrics to the faces in the photos, I see nothing but scary stoners. Every time I watch a DVD of various Cream, The Who, Jimi, Floyd, Beatles, Jefferson Airplane, Woodstock, Wight Island, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath... I always see and only see scary stoners, who talk about drugs, make drug music, and encourage drug use. Then I don’t know, if for you they went wild live and not while composing, those are just assumptions; I assume otherwise, but my assumption is worth as much as yours :). As for objective facts, we have recordings from the time that show people high to the tips of their hair, then what they did at home is unknown, but it’s reasonable to think they might have done worse at home. The worst hits I’ve taken, I took at home, just like a lot of people, so I don’t believe that. :)

He didn't look ahead as much as Syd did. We're talking about a clash of Titans; no one calls Lennon a fool, that's for sure.

Okay, then I’ll change it: Barrett, being a drug addict like all musicians, including Lennon, wrote only one album that caused a hell of a stir. If he hadn’t exaggerated and become completely idiotic, who knows what kind of mess he would have made. Lennon, as a drug addict, wrote a lot of beautiful things; he never became an idiot and even had time to do whatever he wanted, but he never reached the mental avant-garde level that Syd had, and Lennon got high just as much as Syd did before and during Piper. So, in a comparison of drug addicts, I choose Barrett. But excuse me, in the sixties who made music and didn’t do drugs? NO ONE, but Syd did it with Piper, and the others did not. Did he have a special pusher with a special drug? No, he used everyone else's drugs; however, he had extra talent.

Pure LSD is awesome, don't worry, even today's youth can find the good stuff. Anyway, and I’ll repeat it for the third time for clarity: I mean someone who can tie their shoes, who doesn't piss themselves, who speaks in coherent sentences. I used the wrong term because it can be misleading, but yes, he was getting high long before that, and he was getting really high, but he was healthy at first, then he went overboard and it took him down, said by someone who was with him back then, not something I read in Rolling Stones: Roger says it. If his best friend says it, I believe it, but of course, I wasn’t there and can’t guarantee it :)

Oh, but really take a look at it, I’m not saying it like “nyah nyah I have it and you don’t,” just look at it, it’s awesome: they analyze the music of the sixties from A to Z, too bad it’s only in English but they don’t use any fancy terms, it’s really understandable. Then there are lots of nice anecdotes like “during that live performance he even forgot the lyrics of Bike because he was in such bad shape those days.” It’s white, there’s Syd on the cover, and it’s called something like Another Side Of The Moon or something like that.

<<<< If he had really been in his right mind SIN FROM PIPER, without acids and drugs>>>> SORRY WHO EVER TALKED ABOUT ACIDS AND DRUGS? NOT ME. Did you watch the DVD? No, because otherwise you wouldn't be talking like this. By healthy I mean: someone who can tie his shoes. After Piper... he couldn't tie his shoes. He really couldn't, I'm not exaggerating. And why couldn't he? Because with the money from Piper he ate the impossible. And how do I know this? Because I watched the DVD, and his friends Floyd say it, not just assumptions. Watch the DVD, they tell you straight out: HE EXAGERATED AND LOST HIS MIND. He was a junkie like EVERYONE, then he became mentally ill.

Then: Barrett did the first things while he was healthy, success went to his head. Watch the DVD of his story before spouting nonsense like you usually do. It's obvious you don't even know what you're talking about because of one thing: you've misspelled his name four times. You don't even know who Barrett is, but you enjoy going against me, and it's fine because I have fun, but avoid bullshit like "if you change the arrangement"... am I? EMI?
