RIP indeed.

Although not a great lover of the very early recordings, I certainly appreciate what he started.

A sad day.
Time to crack out the early floyd stuff.

i don't understand this eulogising of people who had there 15 minutes of fame and ****ed it up because their pharmacuetical needs be came more important to them than their "art"

I think Doogalman may have been complimenting me phantom, well one can dream :-)

Even if he messed it up due to his pharmacuetical needs as you put it, he nevertheless paved the way for a style of music that still draws the crowds today.

Oh and BTW, who are you to judge people?
Did you walk in his shoes?
