	Do you think any of the songs Syd wrote would be as awesome if he didnt do acid?

	Alright, to support the "pervert from their childhood" theory, I tried googling for a respectable source. This is the most respectable I could find: http://www.luckymojo.com/barrett/refs/7410freaking.html Not only is it by an unknown author, but it also has Syd saying "I thought 'Arnold Layne' was a nice name, and it fitted very well into the music I had already composed" and "I pinched the line about 'moonshine washing line' from Rog, our bass guitarist - because he has an enormous washing line in the back of his house." This seems to say that the perpetrator was not someone anyone from the band knew, but rather the story is a work of fiction. Plus, it's from an unknown author. And this was the most authoritative information I could find. If anyone has any sources to support their other theories, by all means share them.

No Picture jake Average	#3 by jake loewen at Apr 20, 2006 at 4:20 PM EST
	Sad as it was that Syd went crazy, I think that the situation let Roger show some of his brilliance and let Dave get into the band, which was probably the best thing to happen to the band(Dave coming in, not Syd losing his mind) I think that Dave may have been brought in anyway. Both were in the band during Saucerfull of Secrets(Barrett was starting to go at that point though, so maybe they brought him in as insurance.

No Picture Dave Wanna Be	#4 by Dave Bitches!!!! at Jul 15, 2006 at 1:01 PM EST
	Sorry to say WYWH but I think Syd had to lose his mind for Dave to come in. They brought in Dave because Syd was losing his mind and had started just wandering around during gigs at one stage he just randomly started detuning his guitar or woulkd just stare into space. Apparently his work On Saucerfull of Secrets was on their really just to make him happy. Dave wasn't brought in as insurance he was brought in as a replacement. He played while Syd did whatever.

No Picture THE RONANATOR ( Average	#7 by THE RONANATOR (aka.Ronan) downer at Jul 3, 2007 at 3:05 AM EST
	According to Syd's girlfriend at the time there was someone who went around knicking clothes of washing lines which is what the song is about.
