That is some seriously freaky news. I was daydreaming on the way home from school today, thinking about Floyd in generaland Syd specifically.
It’s sad to see him go, but I can’t imagine he had a happy life living as a recluse. And about his serious problems: you just don’t give a borderline schizophrenic acid. It’s like making an anorexic go on a diet.

Heh, “generaland”. Would that be a fun place to go?

I really liked this story as posted on metafilter a month or so ago.

Thanks mojo, that article was great. Its freaky, particularly if you’ve had any kind of mental deals personally in the past, to read that and realise that it could just as easily be you, or your sibling, or your kid.

“If Jim Morrison or Kurt Cobain had managed that, maybe there would have been happier endings for their families.”

Interesting.
