It’s awfully considerate of you to think of me here
And I’m most obliged to you for making it clear
That I’m not here
Here is a link to Roger Waters’ and David Gilmour’s tributes to Syd Barrett.

Portal Peel
I’m reading about John Peel’s death on a newswire service connected via a wireless cell phone to the intenet.
What makes this uncanny is that I’m in the same room and the same table where I used to prop up a small short-wave radio some 30 years ago and listen to his show on BBC World Service.
The radio and John’s show was the portal to my world. I’m not sure I loved all the music but there was some strange stuff that I’m sure I would have never heard elsewhere.
Even in far away Delhi he had fans and his wry style was legendary.
What was that Indian thing about life being cyclical?
