Book Review: Madcap laughs last
Summary: 5 Stars
Yet another book about Syd Barrett,but this time its more aboutthe man/person than the Pink Floyd genius.Like the other books
its tells the story from the 50s until the early 70s."Madcap"
goes a little deeper.More interwievs with people that actually
knew Roger"Syd"Barrett and more interesting pictures from his
childhood and up until 2001.In the book you find out more about
what happened after he left Pink Floyd and what happened after the last recording sessions in 1974.You get a whole picture of
a man with deep psychological problems.You can always argue if
the drugs did it or if it was something that whould happen anyway.If you read this book together with Parker's Random
Precision i think we can get a look into the mind of a true
genius.
