Syd Barrett's Diary - An Absurdly Poetic Ode to a Rock Absurdist

Pretty messed up story of a bad trip. All I can say is that I now somewhat understand Syd just a tiny bit more. Never knew he did stuff like this.

What evidence is there that Syd really wrote that, let alone allow it to be published?

Yeah I'm actually beginning to have doubts about it too. The site does say an ode to a rock absurdist. Perhaps it was fan written.

Sounds like an exaggeration of Syd, as if someone tried to fake him, which it probably is.

Would Syd misspell Dave's last name?

Of course it's fake. But in case anyone still doubts it, besides the mispellings which Syd wouldn't make, he was very intelligent, there are also American spellings used ('realize-the English spell it with an S) and the use of the word 'gallon' which is an American measurment! The English use metrics remember.
