Pink Floyd Jugband Blues (1967)

The last song written and composed by Syd Barrett with Pink Floyd. The music industry has probably wanted to minimize the importance of this message, reducing it to Syd s state of mind. However, the letter goes much further. The Author (Syd Barrett) criticizes the music industry and the puppets that are used by that industry. The message is more powerful than it seems. Many times we see politicians who don t even know where they stand and don t even wonder who writes the speeches they recite. The music industry is infested with puppets like the one Syd Barrett references in Jugband Blues. Undoubtedly a whole work of art that does not lose relevance over time despite the extreme censorship of that time.
