Syd dies age 60 - he had suffered from diabetes but Ive heard other reports it was cancer. A true genius, for a short while yes, but a genius just the same.

Strange...why do we idolize Syd Barrett as a genius when we have Michael Jackson who has written many more hits
I agree that Kurt Cobain is grossly overrated due to his death. If he were still alive he would probably be generally regarded on a par with Eddie Vedder. I have far more respect for Dave Grohl than for Eddie Vedder or Cobain, both for how he handles his image and for his music.Copenhagen Fan wrote: Any rock star who goes down before we get the chance to fuck them up is treated in the same way. Cobain is a great example. Anybody agree? Who can come up with more examples?
