Syd Barrett, dead at 60.

Additionally, June Allyson has also died, and perhaps her body of work, both entertainment and philanthropic, exceeded Syd's, but nobody ever wrote a song that called her "you crazy diamond."

Well, it's not like he's done anything in 38 years. He was in Flink Poyd for 3 years. Until he was 22. Then he went home to live with his mother.

Dude, you gotta learn how to handle your drugs better than that.

I feel badly that I couldn't figure out who June Allyson was until I read that she was the Depends spokesperson. What a legacy.

Honestly, that's the only way I know her. I mean, I know she was an actress, but I've never seen her in anything but Depends commercials. So of course when I saw her obit, that's precisely what came to mind.

I will admit my first thought was "No, not the mom from Lassie!" but then I realized that was June Lockhart.

I had the same thought!

Syd Barrett went crazy, left Pink Floyd and disappeared ten years before I was born but this still makes me sad.
