Shine On

Syd Barrett has died at the age of 60.

From the BBC:

Syd Barrett, one of the original members of legendary rock group Pink Floyd, has died at the age of 60 from complications arising from diabetes.

I've never been into the whole Syd cult, and was of a generation where I appreciated his effect out of the band (influencing WIsh You Were Here) more than I really did his contribution in the band. Sad, nonetheless.
