(I previously had to do that with the one "Martian poem" I wrote, and I don't think it distracts.) And I can also give Barrett and his lyrics credit separately - in a comment on the blog, and on the colophon page of the book. I'm planning to make some changes to D&od this year, and I can add that then as well).

Saw them in ‘94 and was absolutely floored and transported! One of the very greatest bands EVER!!! Both lyrically and musically… love all of their albums from “Piper at the gates of dawn” upto and including “Animals”…

It also shows the malicious effect and intent of the identity thefts and forgeries by an impostor troll, as even George Dance was fooled by these dishonest stunts.
