Doh Maybee! That was Supergrass not Supertramp🤣🤣

It's the heat! I think...after the highlights that documentary about Syd Barrett was on. I've lost track of how many times I've watched it but each time it comes on I can't not watch it. Not many musicians make the front pages of the newspapers when they die.

Musical genius was Syd, too many drugs turned his brain to mush, really sad , I've watched that many times, got to see Pink Floyd at Earls Court, 94 I think it was, long after Syd had left.

To me, Syd was Pink Floyd. I saw them for the first time on a late night tv programme; I was blown away. I think it was Tonight? Apart from the imo underrated Atom Heart Mother I’ve never liked them much since. Dave Gilmour was on Sky Arts a while back and I was bored stiff.
