It's awfully considerate of you to think of me here,
And I'm much obliged to you for making it clear,
That I'm not here.

AW hell I know I just read it on my home page.:( :( :(

Come on let's hear some Floyd lines.........man so many great ones....OK I got one; " One of these days I'm going to cut you into little pieces!"

From Ummagumma; "Several Species of Small Furry Animals Gathered Together in a Cave and Grooving with a Pict (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Several_Species_of_Small_Furry_Animals_Gathered_To gether_in_a_Cave_and_Grooving_with_a_Pict)" if you can tell me what the pict is saying besides "......AAAANNNNDDDDDD PROund MAry-at......" is the only thing I can really hear.

On most CD pressings of Dark side, a barely-audible orchestral version of The Beatles (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Beatles)' "Ticket to Ride (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ticket_to_Ride)" is audible after "Eclipse", playing very faintly over the heartbeats that close the album.

I don't know if this is true or not but someone told me that Pink Floyd's song Shine On You Crazy Diamond was about Syd. The story goes that before one show, that he did not play in, he shaved all the hair off of his body, and covered himself in vaseline.

Rest in peace Syd, without you we wouldn't have the amazeing music that is Pink Floyd.

The whole album Wish You Were Here is about Syd. Great album to drive to.

it is definatly a great album, He went crazy like alot of people do who take too much acid, I guess he walked into the studio while they were recording it, long after he had left the band shine on Syd!
