Apparantly, whan david gilmour first joined the group, Barret was so stoned that the band wouldnt even plug in his guitar, and he didnt know it. He would take a handful of lewds(sp, crush them up, and mix them with Bryl Creme, he then slather that stuff onto his head so the dope could seep into his brain. good times.he was a nice normal guy.
