crazy diamond

I was just listening to shine on you crazy diamond by Pink Floyd and the second the lyrics began Neal popped into my head.
 
"Threatened by shadows at night, and exposed in the light.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
Well you wore out your welcome with random precision,
rode on the steel breeze.
Come on you raver, you seer of visions, 
come on you painter, you piper, you prisoner, and shine!"

The song is actually meant to be a tribute to Syd Barrett, however I think "crazy diamond" is just as appropriate a name for Neal Cassady.
