Location: Boise, Idaho | Tommy, I remember that poster! Didn't seem to have much effect on my generation. In the small town where I went to high school, girls knew that I would never date a girl that smoked. One young lady I dated a couple times tried to hide it from me, but I found out when I surprised her with a kiss. That's when I first learned to appreciate the expression, "like licking an ashtray." I don't think we had another date. |

Peter Green was a sadder case. Difference being, Peter Green is still playing, isn't he?
I saw him in London about 5 - 6 years ago. Lost most of his marbles, but still playing. |

| Never liked the early Pink Floyd either but much like Yes and so many other bands that were creating music in the late 60's they all were following that psychedelic genra..... I wonder what direction Sid would have taken the band in the 70's..... I hate to say it but it may not have been as inspiring and legendary as the direction Pink Floyd took with Waters & Gilmour..... At any rate I give Sid his credit and I feel no terrific sympathy for him.. Anyone who chooses to inflict the alcohol or drugs upon themselves and have the addictive personality and inibility to control their limits well then people like this need to have friends or family to help. apparently Sid did not.
Sid did inspire a bunch of good music from the rest of the band through the years though. And unfortunatly the press and the gossip we all share and partake in concerns people of a certain stature..... entertainers of all types are the favorite newspaper selling topics of gossip there are..... and in this society they always will be... And if Pink Floyd did not continue on to become one of the most record selling, arena packing bands of all time he may not have had anything more than a mention in the local paper from where he as born or lived when he died. As it was I think he did not recieve all that much attention.
By the way did Sid do any of the work on Meddle???? I always liked that acoustic song that has the lyrics...... "fearlessly the idiot faced the crowd.......smiiiiillllliiiiing....." I think it must be called Fearless.... anyway I always think of this line when playing on stage.
