ignoring posts which are 99.53% hyperbole is probably a better way to go than to jump the gun and start calling people idiots. Dont worry, we wont hurt your precious Pink Floyd.

You're an idiot. There are only two songs that have been linked with Barrett (i.e. wish you were here and shine on). Whilst you can make tenuous connections with other songs like Welcome to the Machine, what really happens is randoms read about Syd and Shine On, and then start screaming on about dedications in every single song
Okay lets see, The Wall, and The Final Cut dealt with war (and were two awesome cds), then there are A Saucerful of Secrets, Obscured by Clouds, Meddle, Dark Side of the Moon, and Animals, none of which deal with either of your two themes, all of which were primarily driven by Waters' writing.
So, incase you missed it the first time, you're an idiot.
I'm sorry that the 99.53% part wasn't sarcastic enough for you, you fucking mutant

Aaaah TTLG, a place where any argument can be won with the playground tactic of mockingly imitating your enemy.

Yeah, It's ridiculous for ANYBODY to even think that Roger Waters including songs about people going insane may have, in fact, been inspired by a close friend of his who actually went insane.
He's right noid, that's absolutely idiotic.

Mocking your enemy is the only tactic that works consistently over the Internet. Wave of the future indeed.

Read interviews in guitar magazines, entertainment magazines, biographies like "Saucerful of Secrets," Nick Mason's recent autobiography, the Pink Floyd Encyclopedia, etc. There's a lot of information, some of it isn't true, some of the details differ between individual recollections, but you do get the gist. When a band member is quoted as saying that a previous story was flat-out untrue, I note that. For instance, apparently someone thought the scene in The Wall that corresponds to (Knock! Knock! Knock!) "Time to gooo!" and the lyrics "just a little pin prick," was straight from Syd's life. I've read three very different stories about that, and I don't know which ones are true. I've read that Syd was sitting backstage, staring off into space, when some personnel came in and reminded him to get on stage, where the rest of the band were already playing filler music. He was going through withdrawal from some drug and they injected him with it to revive him. He went onstage and stood at the mic holding his guitar for a long time while the band played what they could. Suddenly, in the middle of a song, Syd starts wailing on the guitar, oblivious to what the band is playing. He solos for 45 minutes.
You can see how someone could make this up. Since I read that, I've heard Gilmour say it never happened. Yet I've never heard an explanation from Roger about the source of that scene in the movie. Most of the movie/album was mixed metaphors, the main thread of it all being isolation. The division between band and audience that Roger realized had built up like a wall.
I read Nick Mason's book over a couple of afternoons hanging out at a Hasting's.

Not quite, I don't think. The most common account I've heard from first-hand sources (Mason, IIRC) he was typically ushered off stage for a while when he started to just repeat the same chord over and over again. Love it
