Paul has a million dollars to throw around for a media stunt. You don’t just bring a cheap bottle of white wine to a Pink Floyd barbecue, do you?

Fish, Chips and Ladies Knickers
So many Arnolds lived in Laundry Lane that some jokingly re-baptised the street to Arnold Lane. Syd Barrett was very well aware of that.
Welcome to the second instalment of our Arnold La(y)ne story. For this (partial) update we consulted the very detailed site of Michelle Bullivant, who is a local historian & landscape archaeologist.

Backbencher Musings
A message for the fresh Syd Barrett fans who aren’t familiar with its long and winding fandom history. A great deal of Syd Barrett fans are alternatively wired. I do not count myself as being one of those, although some may have another impression.

A new post at the Holy Church of Iffy the Inuit: Backbencher Musings.

“I love listening to [The Piper at the Gates of Dawn], just to listen to Syd’s songs. It’s sad in a way as well, because it reminds me of what might have been. I think he could have easily been one of the finest songwriters today.” —Richard Wright, Saucerful of Secrets by Nicholas Schaffner.

Sitting at the grand piano, Syd and Rick discussed ideas. They communicated well musically, at a glance they knew when to shift into solos or stretch out. Wright had found a musical partner and foil: “When Syd joined the group, he had all these incredible ideas, lyrically and musically. Very strange and childish in a way, like fairytales, but totally unique. I’d never heard anything like it.” — Dark Globe (2010), Julian Palacios.
