Syd Barrett, original songwriter for Pink Floyd has died this week of diabetes.
Musician Syd Barrett Dies at Age 60 : NPR Page not found - A+E Interactive The Syd Barrett Archives - The home of all things Syd BarrettThe Syd Barrett Archives
Remember when you were young, you shone like the sun.
Shine on you crazy diamond. Now there's a look in your eyes, like black holes in the sky. Shine on you crazy diamond. You were caught on the crossfire of childhood and stardom, blown on the steel breeze. Come on you target for faraway laughter, come on you stranger, you legend, you martyr, and shine! You reached for the secret too soon, you cried for the moon. Shine on you crazy diamond. Threatened by shadows at night, and exposed in the light. Shine on you crazy diamond. Well you wore out your welcome with random precision, rode on the steel breeze. Come on you raver, you seer of visions, come on you painter, you piper, you prisoner, and shine!

For all the world an end-of-Romans 7 man. I acknowledge Pink Floyd (up to Final Cut) and Joni Mitchell (I wonder did she ever find love?) in arriving at where I arrived at.

It was strange... I was thinking of Syd and the gang and their days at the UFO (not that I was around then!) last night as I watched Sigur Ros live.
And I return home to find that Syd has gone. But he shines on in many other guises and bands...

Gerald Ford, 38th President, Dies at 93 - The New York Times
IMHO, one of the greatest presidents of the 20th century. He led the country through a very difficult time and made some very hard choices that he had to know would likely end his political career. He acted based on what he thought was best for the country and not necessarily best for him. A true statesman. Those who would sacrifice an essential liberty for a temporary security will lose both, and deserve neither. -- Benjamin Franklin

I absolutely agree about how Ford should be remembered. He was the last honorable Republican president or candidate for president.
