Re Pink Floyd, the most loony legend concerning them must be the supposed links between
The Dark Side Of The Moon and
The Wizard Of Oz. David "not Dave" Gilmour seemed rather exasperated about the whole thing in a few interviews I've read which brought this up, but if anybody wants to give it a try, handy instructions can be found at

The post-Floyd Syd Barrett seems to have spawned a mini-cottage industry of rumour and myth all of his own, what with all those lurid tabloid tales about him barking like a dog at his neighbours,
painting his fridge green and the like. The one about him turning up unannounced during the recording of
Wish You Were Here, confused and wanting to know where to plug in his guitar, was sort of confirmed by a snap of him in Nick Mason's recent Floyd biography. The saddest came about after the death of his mother - allegedly, without her to make sure he took his medication, he'd ended up blind and prone to lapse into diabetic comas, but more recent photos have shown him out and about in Cambridge, in truth, looking not that much worse than any of the other members of the band.[/url]
