I genuinely loved Syd. I really felt I had some sort of connection with guy, his music and his approach to life. So when he died it was a really tough blow. Wright, horrible as this may seem, was the remaining member of Pink Floyd who if he died would have the least effect on me. And it hasn't. But I still celebrate what he did and what he was bloody good at. As Pink Floyd are the most painfully English rock band ever, I intend to mourn him in a very English stiff upper lip way.
