Pink Floyd was just on, wow, they where great.
I didn't know it at the time, but a couple of
years ago on VH1 Behind the Music they stated
that some songs where about Schizophrenia and
Syd Barrett. I did a Google search and came up with:

SongFacts:
This is a tribute to Syd Barrett, an original member of Pink Floyd - notice the title, Shine On You Crazy Diamond. He was their lead guitarist and wrote most of their early hits, but he gradually went nuts and was kicked out of the band in 1968, 3 years after the group started. Drugs played a big role in his mental illness.
