The Genius Next Door (But Mostly Just Screaming)
By David Sore (a guy whose mom lived next to Syd Barrett)
Living next to a rock legend sounds cool—unless the legend is Syd Barrett, and he’s shouting death threats at Roger Waters at 2am like it’s his full-time job. According to David, Syd’s greatest hits post-Pink Floyd mostly involved screaming like a banshee, breaking furniture, and sounding less “psychedelic visionary” and more “feral raccoon in a human body.” Childhood bedtime stories? Just Syd yelling "F***ing Roger Waters!" on loop.
Turns out, having a musical genius next door is a bit less Wish You Were Here, and a bit more Wish You'd Move Out.
