So Syd died yesterday. Having seen Roger and David live quite recently some of his material, notably Arnold Layne, has been in my conscious rather than subconscious. What surprised me was the attention it got in the media - headline at the 5 o'clock news on Radio 4, front page mention of the Telegraph. As a fan of a band or artiste it can be quite difficult to get a perspective on the relative significance/importance of your idol; so it was pleasing to see that the rest of the world thought he was important.
I just fear the speed with which EMI will 're'-release your material, or someone cover a song of yours.
So Syd, so sorry to hear you died, but you'll not be forgotten.
