My uncle was apart of the hippie scene in the 60s in London and got pissed last night and gave me a few tidbits to share
>Syd Barrett was not only crazy but also a prick, treated whatever girl he had on whatever week like shit, he remember seeing slap a girl on more than one occasion
>He swears he saw Nick Drake in some random cafe in 1970 and said it was unbearably awkward but still thought Nick was talented
>He hung around with Marc Bolan when he was in the psych-folk phase and said that he was a lovely guy, remembered him being weird as hell but still nice
>His best mate was in an early incarnation of Comus and filled in on tours for Pentangle
>He always thought Jimi Hendrix was overrated, saying his shows were really sloppy and wanky, his main flaw "couldn't sing"
>He also says on more than one occasion he remembers hearing shouting outside his flat and seeing Syd Barrett riding his bike in a circle, clearly on acid
>>
Yes but what do you think about his music?
>>
Any prove of your statement OP?
>>

Nice.

The first one about Syd is pretty much well documented, he made John Lennon look like a feminist. But he got fucked up by his flatmates, who spiced his coffee with acid daily.

That story of them locking him in the cupboard when he was having a bad trip and them sort of laughing and joking about it is vomit-inducing.

>>72062434
I thought Nick wasn't really known
>>
>>72062434
Syd was probably just weird, i bet your uncle was a normie of the 60's so thought that syd was a bad person because of the way people treated his schizophrenia

>>He swears he saw Nick Drake in some random cafe in 1970 and said it was unbearably awkward but still thought Nick was talented
why do you find this one a stretch?

how to spot a pleb
hendrix was a great vocalist

came from a good middle class family too. dad was a professor at cambridge. he could have been a good boy and meaningful contributor to society under the healthful strictures of a conservative society but leftist degeneracy turned him into something lower than an animal.
fuck everything about post 40s/50s society

>>72063566
he would've killed himself or died in war if it was the 40/50s
