I saw the movie when it came out. I will never forget one scene which literally MADE ME JUMP OUT OF MY SEAT in the Theater. Three years later in my first year of college, we had a movie night in the main lobby of our dormatory I and one other guy on our hall of about 30 other guys were the only ones who had seen it. I and the other guy stood at the 2 stairway doors (one on one side of the dormitary & one on the opposite side) of the Third floor. Each person that passed us, we offered a bet that they would be scared at least once during the movie. Out of the 26 other hall residents, 10 took my bets of $5.00 each. and the remaining 16 passed through the other stairway and took the same $5.00 bet. After the movie was over,I made about $50.00 and the other guy made about $80.00. Turned out to be EASY MONEY!

The first time I listened to the song "Careful with that AXE, Eugene" I was high on an illegal substance sometime around the early to mid 1970's, I TOTALLY enjoyed and felt very soothed. UNTIL the lyrics and scream penetrated the headphones I had on my head. Suddenly, I had a very vivid image in my mind's eye of someone unwittingly chopping his foot off in the middle of the instrumental. That litterally freaked me out at the time. Today is the first time since then that I have listened to it since the 1970's. And now that I have insight as to the situation of Syd Barrett, it makes much more sense now than it did then.
