Woof, woof, woof! “Do you hear that?” Sid runs to the window. He sees the neighbor’s dog wag its tail. Woof, woof, woof! “It’s a dog! What’s that, doggie? Are you trying to tell me something?” Woof, woof, woof! “Do you want to play with me?” Woof, woof, woof! “Hmm. I don’t know what his woofs mean, but he sure has a lot to say. It almost sounds like he’s talking. What do you think? Can animals talk?” “Hey, Mom! Do you hear the neighbor’s dog out in the yard?” “I hear a lot of barking, that’s for sure,” says Mom. “Do you think animals talk?” “Let’s look up some animal sounds on the computer.” They listen to the sounds of a dolphin, a penguin, and an elephant. “Hmmm. All those animals are making different sounds. But are they talking?” “Why don’t you ask your friends at school what they think?” “Now it’s time for the Sid Survey! Do you think animals can talk?” “Well, I don’t think they can talk like we do, but I have heard a cow ‘mooo’ and a chicken ‘bock, bock, bock. ’” “But do you think they’re talking?” “Sure! Maybe they are talking to each other.” “May, do you think animals can talk?” “Well, I have a cat. When I pet her she says ‘purr, purr.’ I think she’s saying ‘I love you!’ I think, yes, animals can talk.” “What about you, Gerald, do you think animals can talk?” “I can speak dog. Wanna hear? ‘Woof, woof, woof.’ I think that means hello! I think animals can talk, for sure.” “Hmmm . . . Gabriela says cows and chickens talk. May says cats talk, and Gerald says dogs talk. What do you think?” Inside the classroom, Sid tells Teacher Susie, “I’m trying to find out if animals can talk.” “That’s a great question, Sid. Animals may not talk like we do, but they do communicate. They communicate by making sounds and moving their bodies. Let’s think of some examples. When gorillas move like this and beat their chests, they’re communicating that they are in charge.” “Like this! I am in charge!” “That’s right, May. Here’s another example. When lions roar a certain way, they’re letting other lions know where they are. ” “ROAAAR! I’m right here!” “Teacher Susie, can we see some animals communicate?” Sid asks. “Of course! Let’s go outside to observe.” “Who can find an animal?” “Look, bees!” “Yes, Sid! How do you think these worker bees communicate?” “Well, they move around a lot.” “That’s true! The bees are doing the busy bee dance to communicate. This dance tells the other bees where to find flowers that have pollen. See? First, they waggle. Then, they go ’round and ’round. Come on everybody, let’s try it! First we waggle. Then we go ’round and ’round!” “See? They found the pollen to eat. Now, let’s observe the way other animals communicate. I have something special waiting for you in the . . . Super Fab Lab!” “Investigate! Explore! Discover!” “I brought a special friend to meet you. Does anyone know what animal this is?” “I’ve seen one of those animals before. It’s a guinea pig!” “That’s right. And look! She’s jumping up and down. That’s called popcorning. It probably means she’s very excited to see us!” “Well, I’m excited to see her. I’m going to jump up and down too!” “Me too!” “Me three!” “Wow! A guinea pig can tell us she’s happy just by jumping up and down! Animal communication is super cool because they don’t really talk, but they tell us stuff by making sounds and moving their bodies!” “You’ve all learned a lot about animal communication today. Now, think about other animals you know and how they communicate. Grab your journals and draw what you come up with.” Gerald thinks, then draws a rabbit. “I’ve seen rabbits jump up and down and kick their legs. I think that means they're happy. It’s like a rabbit is saying, ‘Hey, hey, life is great!’” Sid draws a peacock with its feathers spread out. “My dad told me they do that to get the attention of other peacocks. It’s like this peacock is saying, ‘Look at me! Look at me!’” When Sid arrives home from school, he sees the neighbor’s dog. “Hmm. He’s not barking, but look!” “Maybe that’s why he was barking this morning. He was trying to communicate that he was hungry! I like to tell everybody when I’m hungry too! Glad you got to eat, little buddy. ” Woof, woof, woof! “Hey, where’s that bark coming from?” Sid turns to see Grandma’s new dog. “Hello, Philbert!” Woof, woof, woof! “Hi Grandma, did you know dogs can communicate?” “Ooh, communicate. That’s a great word, Sid. What do you think Philbert is trying to communicate?” “I think Philbert is barking to say hello.” Woof, woof, woof. “I also think Philbert is communicating that he’d like to spend the night.” “Well, if that’s what he’s communicating, it’s okay with me!” “When he wags his tail like that, I think he’s trying to tell us he’s happy. I’m happy too. See?” Sid takes Philbert up to his room. He reaches out to rub Philbert’s belly and hears Philbert panting. “Hmm. That sounds like communicating. What are you trying to say, Philbert?” “Oh, you want more belly rubs! Who’s a good boy? That’s it. You’re a good boy, Philbert!” Woof, woof, woof. Philbert licks Sid’s face and Sid laughs.

[Sid] Oh, hi, it's me, Sid!

And I've got the most amazing, super duper news in the

whole world!

Today, my grandma is coming to school!

How cool is that?

♪ Grandma's coming to school today! ♪

♪ Ba da da da do do di do do...psssh! ♪

♪ She's the best grandma in the world! ♪

♪ Ba na na na na na... oweeoweeowee...blam! ♪♪

Yeah, thank you, audience, woohoo!

Oh, I forgot to tell you why Grandma's coming to school.

My grandma is a nurse, so she's giving me

and my friends a shot.

It's because our moms and dads want us to get

a flu vacci-shmation.

Well, it's something like that.

Anyway, I know my grandma loves me, so there must be a good

reason for getting a shot, because,

hey, shots kind of hurt.

So I just gotta know!

Why do I have to get a...

[echo effect]...shot?

[Mom] Sid, breakfast time!

[Sid] Breakfast Time!

Hey, good morning, Mom, morning, Dad!

[Mom and Dad] Good morning, Sid!

[Sid] So today's a really, really, really special day!

♪ Grandma's coming to school today! ♪

[Dad] ♪ Doo be doo be doo be doo be do bop! ♪♪

[laughter]

[Sid] Hey, Mom, what's that thing called when you get a shot?

[Mom] You mean a vaccination?

[Sid] Oh yeah, that's it.

Well, I'm not so sure I want a vaccination.

Hey, maybe I don't even need one.

[Mom] Sid, sweetie, your dad and I love you, and we think

getting a vaccination is the best way to stay healthy

so you don't catch the flu virus.

[Sid] A flu walrus?

[Dad] No, it's a flu virus.

See, a virus is something that can make you sick.

Remember last winter I had the flu virus?

I had a fever, and all day long I went uh-uh-uh-uh-achooo!

And I also went [coughs].

And I felt all... [hacking, yacking sounds].

I wish I had gotten a flu vaccination.

Then maybe I wouldn't have gotten so sick.

[Mom] And lucky for you, today Grandma's going to give

you a vaccination for the new flu virus.

[Sid] So all I have to do to stay healthy is get a vaccination?

[Mom] Well, a vaccination is a great way to stay healthy,

but you also need to sneeze into your elbow,

or use a tissue and throw it away,

and most important...

[Mom and Dad] Wash your hands with soap and water!

[Zeke] Wash da han wif hope an bater!

[Mom] And here at home, we could probably do a little extra

cleaning to get rid of germs.

What do you think, Mort?

[Dad] Great idea, Alice!

I'm on it!

Okay, where are all the places we touch?

[Sid] I know what I'm going to do.

I'm going to eat breakfast so I can go to school

and see Grandma!

[Sid] And now it's time for the Sid Survey!

Hello, I am Sid, roving reporter,

with today's survey.

The question Have you ever had a shot?

And maybe you've had a shot, too.

Let's go get some answers!

Hi, Gabriela.

[Gabriela] Hello.

[Sid] Ooh, that's a really nice giraffe.

[Gabriela] Thank you.

[Sid] I have a question Have you ever had a shot?

[Gabriela] Yes!

I got a shot last year, and so did my big brother.

Then we got two stickers each!

[Sid] Two stickers!

Wow, I love stickers!

[Gabriela] Me, too!

[Sid] Hey, Gerald --

[Gerald] Runaway train!

[Sid] Oh, no, you're way off the tracks, buddy.

[Gerald] Coming in for a landing!

Uh-oh, I hit a giraffe.

[Sid] Hey, Gerald, have you ever had a shot?

[Gerald] Yes, I have, and my dad had one, too.

Hey, Sid, my dad told me a joke to make me feel better.

[Sid] Ooh, can I hear it?

[Gerald] Okay, why do chickens sit on their eggs?

[Sid] I don't know.

Why do chickens sit on their eggs?

[Gerald] Because they don't have chairs!

[Sid] Ha, that's a good one.

Because they don't have chairs!

That's funny!

Hi, May.

[May] Hi, Sid.

[Sid] I have a question.

Have you ever had a shot?

[May] A shot?

Sure, I've had one.

No big deal.

You know who else had a shot?

My cat Mushu... at the vet.

You know what she thought about getting a shot?

Meow, meow, meow.

That means "no big deal."

[Sid] Wow, you and Mushu are cool.

[May] Thank you.

[Sid] Welcome.

And now the results of my survey.

May and her cat have had shots.

Gerald and his dad have had shots.

Gabriela and her big brother have had shots.

And maybe you know someone who's had a shot, too.

Maybe it's you!

And there you have it.

I am Sid, roving reporter and shot expert.

[Susie] Everybody, Rug Time!

[Sid] That's Teacher Susie!

[Susie] And remember to wash your hands!

[Sid] Right, we gotta wash our hands!

[music playing]

[Gerald] Hi.

[Susie] Gerald, did you remember to wash your hands before coming into

the classroom?

[Gerald] Oh, no, I forgot!

[faucet running]

[Gerald] Okay, all washed.

[Susie] Gerald, did you remember to use soap?

[Gerald] Oh, I forgot that, too!

[faucet running]

[Gerald] Okay, all soaped up.

[Susie] Gerald, did you remember to dry your hands with a paper towel?

[Gerald] Yes, I did.

[Susie] And did you remember to throw that paper towel into the

trash can?

[Gerald] Oh, no, I left it on the sink!

[crinkling sound and trash can lid shuts]

[Gerald] Okay, now I'm really ready!

[Susie] Great, Gerald, and I think Sid is ready, too.

Sid, would you like to introduce our special guest today?

[Sid] Ooh, I sure would!

Ladies and gentlemen, our special guest today

likes to scuba dive and hang glide,

and she gives the best hugs in the whole world,

and she's a nurse, and she's my grandma!

[applause and cheering]

[Susie] Sid's grandma, welcome!

[Grandma] Hello, hello, hello!

Oh, looky here, you look like a nice young man.

So what's your name?

[Sid] Grandma!

[Grandma] Oh, it's my Sid!

Hey, kiddo!

[May] Sid's Grandma, are you really a nurse?

[Grandma] Oh, you betcha, kiddo!

I've been a nurse for  years!

[Gerald] What's the coolest Band-Aid you've ever seen?

[Grandma] I brought it with me today.

It's a Band-Aid with a picture of a bear wearing a cowboy hat!

[Gerald] Oh, wow.

[May] If you're a nurse, does that mean you give shots?

[Grandma] Oh, you're talking about a vaccination shot.

I sure do, May.

[Susie] And that's exactly why Sid's grandma is here.

Remember I sent home a note to your parents asking about

a flu vaccination?

[Kids] Yes.

[Susie] Well, they all gave permission, and today's the day.

[Gabriela] Oh, I forgot.

Uh, I'm not sure I want a shot.

[Grandma] Well, I know shots hurt a little, but I have to use

a needle because it's the best way to get that vaccination

into your body.

[May] The vaccination goes into your body?

[Grandma] It sure does, kiddo.

The vaccination protects your body so the bad ol' flu virus

won't make ya sick.

I got my vaccination last month, and now I'm healthy as can be!

[Gabriela] Wait, the vaccination protects us?

How does it do that?

[Susie] You're all asking great questions.

And I know getting a shot doesn't seem like fun,

but when you think like a scientist,

getting a vaccination is actually a really good thing!

Let's see, do I have any scientists here?

[Kids] Me! I am! Right here! Over here!

[Susie] Okay, scientists, let's take a look at what really happens

when you get a vaccination.

[Gerald] What's that stuff inside the needle?

[Susie] Well, that's the vaccination.

It's medicine that helps your body make antibodies.

[Kids] Antibodies?

[Susie] Yes, antibodies in your body fight the virus and protect you

so you won't get sick.

That means you're immune.

[May] Oh, I want to be immune!

[Kids] Yeah, I wanna be immune, too!

[Susie] That's great!

Now that you're all thinking like scientists,

I think you're ready for your vaccinations.

Let's all go to the --

[Grandma] I know!

To the Super Fab Lab!

[Kids] Yeah, to the Super Fab Lab!

[music playing]

[All] Super Fab Lab!

[Kids] Investigate, explore, discover...ah!

[Grandma] ♪ La la la la la... hm hm hm ♪♪

All right, kiddos, let's form a line right here.

Susie, you, too.

[Kids] Teacher Susie?

[Susie] Well, the flu can spread pretty fast around a school,

so I need a vaccination, too.

[Grandma] And you know what, the flu can spread pretty fast around

the whole town.

So by getting a vaccination today, you're helping

to keep yourself healthy and the whole town.

How about that?

[Kids] Pretty cool.

[Grandma] Okay, any volunteers to go first?

[Gerald] I'm ready.

[Grandma] Okay dokey, here's the vaccination.

I have one for each of you.

[Gerald] Whoa, wait.

Actually, I'm not ready.

[Grandma] Well, I know something that will make getting a shot much easier.

A song!

[Gerald] Thanks, Sid's Grandma.

Hey, guys, look at my Band-Aid.

[Kids] Ooooh, wow, that's cool.

[Sid] Hey, Grandma, I'll go next!

[Grandma] That's my boy.

[Sid] Hey, you're a scientist and you think like a scientist!

When you sing our song, I bet you can do this, too!

[Susie] Okay, it's time to get the new flu vaccination!

First, a nurse will wash her hands with soap and water.

Then she'll clean your arm with rubbing alcohol.

And now you're ready for your vaccination.

Good job!

Some of you will get a vaccination that looks

like this.

There's no needle.

It's a spray that goes into your nose.

Ready?

Big sniff.

And now one more.

You did it!

If you do get a shot, it might hurt a little,

but it will help you stay healthy for a long time!

And remember, when you get your vaccination,

you can sing this song!

♪ Hey, kids, we're ready to roll! ♪

♪ Stopping that virus, that's our goal! ♪

♪ So come on, everybody, we're getting the shot. ♪

♪ It might hurt a little bit, ♪

♪ but it's gonna help a whole lot! ♪♪

You did it!

Soon your body will start making antibodies to protect you from

the flu virus.

And then you'll be immune!

Way to go, scientists!

[Grandma] Alrighty, kiddos, I'm off to the other classrooms to give

more vaccinations.

[Sid] Hey, Grandma, you can teach them your new song!

[Grandma] Oh, good idea, Sid!

I will.

Bye bye now!

[Sid and Kids] Bye, Grandma! Bye, Sid's Grandma.

[Susie] Well, now that you've all gotten your shots and your Band-Aids,

I hereby declare that you're all vaccination experts!

[Kids] Yay!

[Susie] And I think it's time to go play with all your new ideas!

[Kids] [cheering]

[laughing]

[Gabriela] Let's play pretend!

Me, Sid and May will be antibodies!

[Sid and May] Yes!

All right, I'm an antibody!

[Gabriela] And, Gerald, you're going to be a flu virus.

[Gerald] Do viruses wear chef's hats?

[Gabriela] They do now!

Okay, let's play!

[Sid] Get the grapefruit hats.

[Gabriela] You're a yucky, yucky virus, and you're trying to make

a body sick.

[Gerald] Okay, watch out, body!

Raah! Raah! Raah!

I'm making a body sick! I'm making a body sick!

[Gabriela] Oh, no, you don't, Mr. Virus!

This body just got a vaccination!

And it made me!

I'm an antibody and I'm here to stop you!

[Gerald] Well, you're just one antibody, and I'm a big, tough virus.

You can't stop me.

[Gabriela] Yes, I can.

This body is immune!

It has lots of antibodies!

[Sid] I'm an antibody!

[May] Me too!

[Sid] Ha-ya!

[Gabriela] Ha-yoosh!

[Sid] And now...

[Gerald] It's time...

[Susie] That's right, I'm cleaning all our toys and counters

[Sid] Hey, my dad's cleaning our house to get rid of germs.

Is that the same thing?

[Susie] It sure is.

A virus is a kind of germ.

And germs can travel around on all the things we touch.

[Sid] Hey, Grandma, remember how Susie was cleaning the classroom?

[Grandma] Oh, I sure do.

She was getting rid of germs.

That reminds me, did I ever tell you that when I was in school,

I learned about the scientist who discovered that

washing hands helps to stop germs from spreading around!

He was one smart cookie, and his name was

Ignatz Semmelweis!

[Sid] What? Igna-who?

[Grandma] Yes, that's his real name, and he was a real scientist!

For years after I learned about him, I couldn't so much as wash

my hands without thinking of good ol' Ignatz Semmelweis

and how he helped people be healthier.

That's right, thanks to him, we know that washing hands

helps ya not catch a cold!

Thanks, Ignatz!

[Sid] Oh, yeah, he's a really cool scientist!

[Grandma] Yes, he is.

And you can grow up to be a really cool scientist, too!

[Sid] Yeah, maybe I will!

Scientists from the University of Oxford decided to find out which jokes are truly funny, reports the Daily Mail. To find out, they interviewed students from the London School of Economics. The results are in front of you. Ruposters Life has translated for you those jokes that the British considered the most witty and original in the world. Whether they really are is up to you to judge.

The guy is sitting at home, suddenly there is a knock on the door. He opens it and sees a snail on the porch. He picks it up and, swinging, throws it as far as possible. Three years later, there is another knock on the house. Opening the door, he sees the same snail. "So what the hell did that mean?" she asks.

Jin and the idiot

Three friends ended up on a desert island after a shipwreck. Walking along the sand, they accidentally stumbled upon an ancient vessel in which a genie languished in captivity. Once free, he thanked his saviors, declaring that he would grant everyone his most cherished desire. The first guy wished to leave the island and return home. The second wished the same. The third thought and said: "I am alone. Let my friends come back!"

True love dies last

Arriving at the World Cup, a young fan saw with annoyance that he got a not very good place, from which it was extremely inconvenient to follow the game. Looking around, he suddenly noticed an empty seat right next to the field! The young man asked the man sitting next to the empty seat if it was occupied. “No,” the man replied. The astonished young man asked: “And who is the strange person who decided to miss such a game, having such a convenient place ?! “This is my poor wife's place,” the man replied. Since our wedding day, we have not missed a single game. And now she's dead! “It is very unfortunate to hear,” the young man said, “but one of your friends or relatives could still come to the match.” “Alas, no,” the man replied, they are all at the funeral.

Work accident

The guy was late for work. "You should have been here at 8:30!" the chief yelled at him. "Why? Did something interesting happen at 8.30?" answered the unabashed worker.

Paradise on earth

Business partners Sid and Irv worked hand in hand for many years and agreed that when one of them dies, he will certainly give the other a message from the other world. And then Irv died. For a year, Sid waited for news from him, but did not wait. He had already come to terms with the fact that the afterlife does not exist, when one day the phone rang. On the other end of the line was the late Irv. "Well, how is it in the afterlife? How do you spend your time?" Sid asks. "Well, I sleep a lot. When I wake up, I have a very heavy breakfast. Then it's time for carnal pleasures, after which I go back to sleep. When I wake up, I have a big dinner and have sex again. Then sleep again. And, finally, a hearty dinner, after which, you guessed it, sex again and then sleep. Every day." "Oh God, it looks like you've gone to Heaven!" Sid cried. "No, I'm not in heaven at all," Irv replied, "I became a bear in Yellowstone National Park."

The devil is in the details

A guy died one day and ended up in hell. Satan meets him and shows him the doors of three rooms, offering to choose the one in which he will remain forever. In the first room, people stand up to their necks in mud. The guy says, "No, let me see the next room." In the second room, people stand in mud up to their noses. The young man shakes his head again and asks to see the next one. Satan opens the last room. In it, people stand in the mud only knee-deep, drink coffee and eat cakes. “This suits me!”, - says the joyful young man. Satan says "OK" and turns to leave. The guy makes his way to the table and starts pouring himself coffee. At this moment, the voice of Satan is heard: "Coffee break time is over! Get back on your head!"

A child and a hairdresser

A little boy walks into a hairdresser. Looking at him, the hairdresser whispers to his client: "This is the most stupid child in the world. Look, I'll prove it to you right now." The barber holds a dollar bill in one hand and two 15 cents in the other. Then he calls the boy and, holding out both hands to him, asks: "What do you choose?" The child takes the coins and leaves. "Well, what did I tell you?" - says the hairdresser, - This guy does not learn anything! Later, when the customer leaves, he sees the boy again coming out of the ice cream shop. "Hey son! May I ask a question? Why are you taking coins instead of a dollar bill?" The boy licked the cone and replied: "Because the day I take the dollar, this whole story will end!"

One in a million

China has a population of one billion people. One billion. This means that even if you are "that one in a million", there are at least a thousand more like you.

Race with a bear

Two hikers were walking through the forest when suddenly a huge brown bear came out towards them. Noticing people, the bear began to approach them, with clearly unfriendly intentions. One of the young men throws his backpack on the ground, pulls out his sneakers and starts frantically changing his shoes. "What are you doing? Sneakers won't help you outrun a bear!" - with surprise says another. “I don’t need to run faster than a bear, I need to run faster than you!”, his companion answers.

All inclusive

A young man was sitting in a bar drinking a beer. Suddenly, a sexy girl came up to him, and, sitting down next to him, said: "For 300 pounds, I will do whatever you want. Just say it in three words." The guy thought a little, pulled out his wallet from his pocket and handed the money to the girl slowly said: "Three words: paint my house."

Sacrifice: the strange beauty of Syd Barrett | Articles

Pink Floyd's song "Shine, Crazy Diamond" is dedicated to him - one of the most famous in the repertoire of the famous band. He died in 2006, far from being the forgotten rock and roll hero that so many of his colleagues left, desperately trying to stay afloat in the cruel sea of ​​show business until the very last minute, but an adored and almost deified genius. A mad genius, they usually add, although his madness has not been precisely established by psychiatrists. Today, January 6, Roger Keith Barrett, who called himself Sid, could have turned 75. Izvestia recalls the strange fate and strange gift of the first Pink Floyd guitarist.

Flowers and guitars

His career on the professional stage was obscenely short - some five years. According to the Hamburg account, this period can be completely reduced to one year and one album, almost completely composed by him for one group. Moreover, even today the most ardent fans of Barrett's Pink Floyd believe that they failed to create anything comparable to The Piper at the Gates of Dawn, the band's debut record, - despite all the commercial successes and stadium tours.

The Piper at the Gates of Dawn

Most of his adult life he lived quietly and unnoticed in the house left by his mother. A reminder of the youthful glory that still did not let him go were the paparazzi who strove to photograph him, aged and flabby early, while cycling or going to the supermarket. However, he learned to ignore them - his head was occupied with more important things. Favorite flowers in the garden, for example, or an unfinished abstraction on an easel. Or even cooking dinner (Barrett suddenly discovered a penchant for cooking in his 30s).

He was born in the old University of Cambridge in the family of the famous pathologist Arthur Max Barrett, the fourth of five children. As befits a child from an intelligent family, he studied piano a little, but without much interest - he was more attracted to drawing (he carried his love for painting until the end of his life). At 10 he received a ukulele as a gift, and at 11 he bought himself a used banjo. “I don’t know why, I thought it was great. I played it for six months, and then I got a guitar, ”he said at 1967 year.

Soon he saved money for an electric guitar and soldered his first amplifier with his own hands. Around the same time, he received the nickname Sid (through the “y” instead of the “i” required by the rules) - either because of an elderly double-bass player of the same name who lived in Cambridge, or because of the cap in which Roger came to the Boy Scouts meeting. The rest of the boys thought the headgear was too proletarian, and the name Sid in those days was considered old-fashioned common people in England. At the same time, the hero himself strictly distinguished the use of names. “It would be unthinkable if someone called him Sid at home,” recalled the musician’s sister Rosemary.

What Friends Are For

One of Roger Barrett's elementary school teachers was a woman named Mary Waters. With her son Roger, despite the age difference of three years, young Barrett became friends - one cannot say that for life, but for a very long time. Roger, the son of an officer who died in World War II, was a staunch pacifist and interested in politics - at the age of 15 he became chairman of the local youth section of the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament. Barrett, in his incarnation as Sid, was much more interested in the amazing possibilities that the guitar opened up for him to express himself.

The death of his father in 1961 shocked the fragile psyche of the boy - noticing that music lessons had a calming effect on him, his mother began to encourage home concerts of the group he had assembled, Geoff Mott and The Mottoes. Waters, who had already graduated from school, often came to such performances, and he himself decided to try his hand at music. So when at 19In 63, he began to assemble a new line-up with drummer Nick Mason, he had no doubt that a 17-year-old "star boy" nicknamed Sid should be invited to the role of guitarist. Barrett came up with a new name for the group, then called The Tea Set. His collection included records by American bluesmen Pink Anderson and Floyd Council. Their names formed the name that was destined to become a rock legend: Pink Floyd.

By 1967, Pink Floyd were well known in London psychedelic circles, and their debut album, The Piper At the Gates Of Dawn, released the same year, made them national celebrities. The record reached number six on the national charts and spent 14 weeks on the list. Pink Floyd were among the first to decorate their concerts with light shows - at that time still semi-homemade and rather primitive. But Barrett, who was rumored to be on horseback doses of LSD, became more and more bizarre. The band played to full houses in the trendy UFO club, but for one of the concerts, Mason and Waters had to literally carry Barret onto the stage. “He just stood with the guitar and that’s it,” the drummer of the group recalled that disaster in his memoirs.

Waters tried to do something, even personally took a friend to the doctor (however, as a convinced leftist, he chose the fashionable "anti-psychiatrist" Ronald Laing), but Barrett categorically refused to get out of the car . The musician's condition worsened, he was in a permanent depression, and Waters decided to introduce a second guitarist, their mutual friend David Gilmour. Barrett was increasingly present on stage as a strange live prop. January 1968 years, when the group went to play a concert in Southampton, they simply decided not to call for Barrett. Soon it was officially announced his departure from the group.

Last track

Syd recorded - not without difficulty - two solo albums of incredibly bizarre and tragically beautiful songs. He was helped by former colleagues, despite all his oddities, who did not leave a comrade. In 1974, after three days of work on the third, he finally broke down - and gave up everything. They tried to invite him as a producer of the Sex Pistols and The Damned albums, but to no avail.

He even changed physically: when Syd suddenly appeared at the studio where Pink Floyd was recording Wish You Were Here, he was simply not recognized. Curly romantic handsome elf in a few months turned into a shaved head (including eyebrows, the hero of the movie "The Wall" Pink does the same after a nervous breakdown) a man with a decent size belly. “I have a lot of food in the fridge,” Barret explained innocently to a stunned Waters. This was the last meeting of the members of Pink Floyd with an old friend and colleague - apart from the incident at 1977, when Barrett ran into Waters at Harrods and ran away in a panic. Dropping packets of purchased sweets.

“Other than being a good guitarist, I don't have much ambition...yet! I’ve been in this business not too long ago,” a curly-haired youth with a radiant eye, the guitarist of a still little-known band with the strange (and self-invented) name Pink Floyd, said in 1967 to a reporter from Beat Instrumental magazine. The article about Syd Barrett and his guitars was four paragraphs long; published after the musician's death, his biography (not the first, but one of the best) "A Very Wrong Head" could hardly fit on more than 400 pages. Most of these pages are devoted only to those years of his life when he was Syd Barrett, a musician, and not Roger Barrett, a quiet inhabitant of a modest two-story cottage in St. Margaret's Square, Cambridge.

However, as Head writer Rob Chapman rightly remarked, “Once Barrett left Abbey Road Studios after his final failed recording attempt in August 1974, he disappeared into myth. And in what a myth! As Barrett himself said in one of his very first interviews with the Melody Maker, “Teens don't like the Beatles and Mick Jagger because they like music. They love that these guys can do whatever they want." Leaving the world of pop music, renouncing fame and success, Barrett did what he wanted - not a fact, however, that it was liked and understood by the environment.

Barrett did not live in poverty until the very end of his life - former colleagues carefully monitored that royalties for reissues of songs regularly reached him. He continued to do odd things from time to time - from the point of view of anyone who has never been Syd Barrett: for example, tired of life in London, he traveled 80 km to his native Cambridge on foot. Most likely, he was not crazy in a medical sense - beloved younger sister Rosemary, one of the few people who constantly communicated with the recluse from St. Margaret Square, constantly emphasized that her brother was normal. Weird, yes - but not schizophrenic. "That's the biggest misconception about Sid," she insisted. However, even the employees of the British tabloids, who were not very burdened with a load of moral guidelines, could not unearth reliable data about Sid's madness.

“He could have achieved a lot, I would venture to suggest that he would have become a great man,” Gilmore complained after the death of the “crazy diamond”.
