whoever was recently talking about the alleged syd telepathy incident, apparently it does at least come from real quote – from alice cooper guitarist glen buxton. the band stayed with them while they were touring in california in 1967. the above quote (also under the cut) comes from an interview in trouser press magazine..... not sure what to make of this, other than "huh." good for him?

Glen Buxton: "Syd Barrett I remember, (though) I don't remember him ever saying two words. It wasn't because he was a snob; he was a very strange person. He never talked, but we'd be sitting at dinner (at our house in Venice, LA) and all of a sudden I'd pick up the sugar and pass it to him, and he'd shake his head like 'Yeah, thanks,' It was like I heard him say "Pass the sugar' - it's like telepathy; it really was. It was very weird. You would find yourself right in the middle of doing something, as you were passing the sugar or whatever, and you'd think, Well, damn! I didn't hear anybody say anything!' That was the first time in my life I'd ever met anybody that could actually do that freely. And this guy did it all the time."
