Wed, 12 July 2006  You know, the recent death of Syd is a sad occasion. Even if he has not really contributed to mass society in recent decades his mere presence was a reminder of what used to be and of a time when music was truly great. This is a psychedelic podcast and it celebrates the music and the culture of the good ol' days when musicians had no problem grabbing their 4-tracks and recording under a waterfall just to see how it would sound. My old band used to play a lot of Pink Floyd from the Syd era and although we didn't necessarily share his love of the paper products, we shared his love of the music that made the paper products popular (or was it the other way around?). Syd had a large influence on myself and my partner (musical partner) and without Syd who knows whether or not Floyd would have existed and without Floyd, what would the world have been like? Although no one remembers it now, the world owes him a large amount of gratitude and praise for what he accomplished and for what he unleashed upon society. So, praise him, you fools. Praise him!! As his death has been blogged ... well, to death, I'll simply link to a couple of articles here that will do a better job of explaining what happened. This podcast is a tribute to you, Syd, and if the rest of Pink Floyd are out there, I think it would be a nice gesture for you to reunite and play a 120 minute version of Interstellar Overdrive right here in my home town of Birmingham, Alabama. You can even set up in my basement if need be. Shine On!!
