Major Tom (Coming Home) - Peter Schilling.
Q: What's your history with this song?
I think I heard it from you.
Have a Cigar - Pink Floyd
Q: What do you think of the lyrics in 'Have a Cigar'?
The lyrics capture a disillusionment with the music industry, highlighting themes of insincerity and commercial exploitation.
Have a Cigar - Pink Floyd
Q: What is your favorite Pink Floyd song or album?
The thing is, the honest answer is I don't go back. I have not looked back on Pink Floyd in a long, long time, which is embarrassing because I have a lot of vinyl of theirs that I didn't purchase but I stole from other people.

Q: Who would you have liked to see them interview?
Alex states he'd like to have seen Stevie Wonder, who would bring interesting insights.
