Public Address: IF YOU DON'T LISTEN -- you'll never hear it!

"I was sleeping in the woods one night after a gig we'd played somewhere, when I saw this girl appear before me. That girl was Emily. (On how he wrote "See Emily Play") "Chapter 24" - that was from the "I Ching", there was someone around who was very into that, most of the words came straight off that. "Lucifer Sam" was another one - it didn't mean much to me at the time, but then three or four months later it came to mean a lot." Syd Barrett, Pink Floyd original member
