SYD BARRETT
(6 January 1946 - 11 July 2006)
Not to limit the scope of The Uranium Cafe to only classic campy movies I post here a small tribute to Pink Floyd founder and rock-n-roll casualty of war Syd Barrett who passed away this past summer. Piper at the Gates of Dawn showcases Syd at his best but I like his two solo projects as well, The Madcap Laughs and Barrett. Plenty of fans sites on the net if you are interested but this one seems to be one of the best:

Not sure of the time here, but Syd may have been on his way out of the whole music scene by this time. Looks rather literary and healthy with his close cropped hair.
From the photo session for The Madcap Laughs. The picture at the top is from the same sessions I believe where later Syd does all these crazy yoga asanas.
Syd is in full form here. I am not sure of the exact dates of these pictures but I am sure they are all after his departure from Pink Floyd. Here he looks ready to just snap to pieces if you just slapped him on his back.
