Good Bye Arthur Lee

This is the only thing that I am sure of
And that's all that lives is gonna die
And there'll always be some people here to wonder why
And for every happy hello, there will be good-bye


Another psychedelic commando bites the dust. Sad as it is, you get the feeling that for all its troubles Arthur Lee’s life was more satisfied than Syd Barrett’s.

I’m pleased that I got to see him in 2002 (or was it 2003) in Leicester doing Forever Changes and more long in to the night, enjoying it as much on stage as we the audience were.
