Take the initials of the first, third and fifth word:

Shine on

You crazy

Diamond

Anyone noticed this?

It amazes me how many druggies comment on Pink Floyd videos, I think honestly you don't have to be high on pot or acid to understand how amazing Pink is, the drugs weren't all that made Syd the crazy diamond.

Miss you, Syd :_

I seriously doubt that Roger Waters never tried LSD. Give me a brake...

Happy Birthday Syd!

Don't think so. Syd found "IT". You may only find his way of raised consciousness in this way. Pot won't get you there, most likely, but it might do you well to write down all the lyrics of Shine on you crazy diamond and find your every definition to make certain of your views. Who knows what I am referring to as "IT"? My own definition of what I learned in this way.

SYD yes clever!he was a trippy guy wasn't he?I think drugs may have sent him crazy...I think he could have been influential in P F earlier (formative) 'Granchester Meadows' days-didnt he live in Cambridge??It was when R W said they decided to leave him behind and not pick him up in the van (for the Gig) cos he had been an embarrassment!Careful with that axe Eugene

I laugh at mainly stoner who say the Floyd were "BIG STONERS" Well Roger Waters never tried L.S.D., either has Nick Mason. Richard Wright didn't like the effects, and David Gilmour "tried it a couple of times but got bored with it real quick". They did smoke marajuana up until the mid 1970's, but NEVER before a gig. Rick did once before a Paris gig, "just a puff, it made me paranoid. I thought i was holding my finger on one note for 10 minutes....it didn't agree with me"

[Deltarogers]

This video never offically confirmed that it is Syd's first trip, it was confirmed as "one of his earliest drug taking experiences". I am assuming it's L.S.D he's on. All members of Pink Floyd (Mason, Gilmour, Waters and Wright) have confirmed in interviews that they were not taking L.S.D. or any drugs aside from alcohol and the occassional joint, Sorry Stoners.....
