Earlier this evening, while reading about Syd, as if to catch up with an old friend, I encountered this.
If you have not read it, my dear reader, I urge thee to do so. However, I recognize that current contstraints on your time may presently prevent that from happening.

In the event that is sadly the case, I offer the following:
The other band members soon tired of Barrett's antics, and in January 1968, on the way to a show at Southampton University, the band elected not to pick Barrett up.Okay, that's not really what I wanted to share, but it's really fucking funny. The next two items are more of what I had in mind:
According to Roger Waters, Barrett came into what was to be their last practice session with a new song he had dubbed "Have You Got It, Yet?" The song seemed simple enough when he first presented it to his bandmates, but it soon became impossibly difficult to learn: as they were practicing it, Barrett kept changing the arrangement. He would then play it again, with the arbitrary changes, and sing "Have you got it yet?" After more than an hour of trying to "get it," they realized they never would.Shine on you crazy diamond

Members of the band also reported on their featured episode of Behind The Music that Barrett held a toothbrush and attempted to brush his teeth by holding the brush still and jumping up and down.
