- Perhaps you are talking about Syd Barrett, who was an original member
- of Pink Floyd, but was not their drummer. He did have psychiatric
- problems, but I know of no connection to LSD. I would assume he
- remembers being in the band. He came out with some obscure (and in my
- opinion not so good) solo albums several years after he left PF.

- Now, who wants to talk about Randy California, the lead
- guitarist for Spirit?
