Syd Barrett: A Very Irregular Head

How can such a brief, tragic life justify a 440-page biography? Because Syd Barrett has always stood for more than an acid casualty. He is the damaged archangel of the Sixties counterculture, a martyr to art and soul and inner space, a guy who wouldn’t have any truck with commercialism.

  1. Brilliant, so tragically flawed. He’s already had many biographies written but I’ll try to check the newest one out.
