Can you go on StarArchive and see if they have any addresses/results for Syd? Yeah, I know he 99.9999% doesn't write back, but I want to know if they have the same addresses that I found somewhere else, and whether you get a RTS, a list of merchandise or what.
Personally I would recommend nobaody bothers the man ever again, if you must contact him, do it through his family. Other than that, please leave the guy in peace. If he ever wants to come back into the public eye, (however unlikely), he'll do it when he wants and I fear that people pestering him directly could be making him worse.
This was not directly aimed at you biggles, but I think that we all have a responsibility to let him live in peace. After all, it's not like he spent most of his life seeking publicity and now it will all come back to haunt him.
I'm moving this to Syd Barrett Forum.
I know, I'm just curious as to the status of the addresses I got... What the heck they are and all. I think they're management addresses or something.
I wouldn't even think that there would be a management address since Syd prefers to live in isolation.
That's what I was thinking, too. I'm wondering if the site I got the addresses off of is just being complete bullshit, because its got something like this:
Syd Barrett (known to be in Cambridge)
Syd Barrett
Columbia Records (I think)
blah blah blah some street
Somewhere, CA
and then a similar address
it seems like a good point to start from if you're into stalking celebrities...l love the celebrity!!!
To add, I'd only write to Syd if I could actually think of something to write that doesn't sound stupid... Going on about how I love how he says the long a sound probably wouldn't classify under that, lol :)
"Dear Mr. Barrett,
Do you know the Muffin Man?"
Sincerely,
The Muffin Man Evil Stalker Chewbacca!! RAWR!"
lol... Urm, yeah.
I'm half-awake! Go me!
