Syd Barrett (January 6, 1946 – July 7, 2006) RIP
Roger Keith "Syd" Barrett (January 6, 1946 – July 7, 2006) was an English singer, songwriter, guitarist and artist.
Best remembered as one of the founding members of the group Pink Floyd, Barrett was active as a rock musician for only a few years, before mental instability forced him into seclusion. His creative legacy and quintessentially English vocal delivery have since proven to be remarkably influential. (from Wikipedia)

Pink Floyd? Did they write Another Brick in the Wall? When I was in high school (I'm in my early 40's) I thought that song was cooool. It spoke of independence, rebellion, standing for one's rights. "You don't need no education, you don't need no false control, no dark sarcasm in the classroom, teachers leave us kids alone... Hey, teacher, leave us kids alone..." I disliked school so I thought, that's my anthem.
I agree. Syd's creative legacy has proven to have remarkable influence on society. There's too much chaos in schools and children not only have demanded independence from the system but have morally declined as a result.
