Almost a Tiger said:Shine on you crazy diamond?? Why does society put such average mortals on to a pedestal?
Here was a young man who chose a lifestyle that meant he was basically unemployed by 30 and who lived in a quiet English village for his last 30 years basically doing nothing because he was dependant on mind altering substances.
I found Pink Floyd depressing musically. I find this story atypical of the earliest forms of marketing driven commercialised music.
I care far more for talented young people who never get the opportunities that are wasted on such self-indulgent wankers.
