Its been a long time since my last post,work and other issues being the reasons.
I think I must continue with what I had written in my last post ,about Pink Floyd.
I had introduced to this mesmerising band thanks to Roger Walters,but as I delved deeper there was another person who intrigued me,Syd Barret,the founder of the band.
Lost genius,that's what he is described as,someone who had ridiculous talents but was undone by 'LSD'.
One should listen to Floyd's first album 'Piper at the Gates of Dawn' .
the sound is unimaginable if you think it was created way back in 1967(Phew!)
But unfortunately drug abuse took its toll,he got disoriented as days went by and finally he left the band he had formed by "mutual consent".
But his impact was long lasting,as proven by immortal songs like "Shine on you crazy Diamond" and "Wish you were here".
