1959: A young kid named Robert Zimmerman, a greaser of sorts known for his long hair and black leather jackets, graduates from Hibbing High School in Hibbing, MN. Within a few years, he would become a New York folksinger and change his name to Bob Dylan. oldies.about.com/od/oldieshistory/a/june5.htm |

1975: Syd Barrett, ex-Pink Floyd member and founder who was forced from the band after becoming an acid casualty, quietly appears in the Abbey Road studios during recording of the band's album Wish You Were Here, which was largely written about him. No one notices Barrett, and he soon leaves as quietly as he entered.
I heard that no one knew who he was at first because he had gained a lot of weight and had also shaved off all his hair and his eyebrows - but eventually he was recognized and asked to join in the recording, which he refused. I also heard that one of the band (either Gilmour or Waters) was so upset when he saw what had become of Syd that he was moved to tears.
