If you're a Syd fan you're living in the past. The music still sounds contemperary, though! I don't pride myself on following up to the minute details of people who want to be left alone.
David Gilmour obviously knows people that are in Syds life. If he spoke to Syd that doesn't tell us anything about Syd, now does it? His nephew took the time to talk about the real reality and I thought it was handled better than anything I have ever read or heard about syd. I think it's too bad someone called it rubbish (another post). Syd writes and paints and doesn't WANT to sell his stuff! That is a rare and beautiful thing for someone in his position. (The position being: he could make money!) Sorry about the OLD news.
