Have You Got It Yet?

Found this tiny slice of awesome buried deep in the print version (not online) of Rolling Stone’s recent “The Magic and Majesty of Pink Floyd” rehash issue.

(Syd) Barrett never returned to making music after the mid-1970’s, but according to his sister Rosemary, he did make art again. She told Mike Watkinson and Pete Anderson, authors of a Barrett biography, that he would photograph a flower, make a large painting of the photograph, photograph the painting, then destroy the painting. “Once something was over, it was over.”

Was it Aspergers? Can’t remember. Whatever it was made for some crazy ass key changes and word combos that were simply incredible.

Australian Pink Floyd is eating this up.
