Had you been before, Damon, to India?

I'd been to Nepal, but I felt like I kind of knew India, and I've always been interested in the philosophy and yoga and the music.

I was played to from birth, you know, and I played to my father as he was dying.

Yeah, raga's very important to me.

... she is no more.

Well, I mean, maybe she was very aware of that, you know.

It's just lovely that the family are here.

I mean, I, I, they, I think they feel a real connection to the song.

Yeah.

And I don't think people in this country have any understanding of the devastation of the Second World War, and how that formed people, you know? Very different.

And, um, you know, this country is unrecognizable to that country now.

I mean, in some, many very positive ways but also, you know, I think the sense of entitlement people have now is kind of...

People back then looked and they'd just go, "You are, you've lost your mind," you know? What people expectAs opposed to what they expect.

And I think, you know, the dissonance of those 60, 70 years is, is hard really to-

... is badly designed.

As opposed to China, where trains speed through stations with a millimeter gap.

If you'd gone before, it wouldn't have been the same.

No, I, I totally agree.

I felt like I'd done so much kind of playing music with people and hanging out with people to have got over any kind of sort of notion of cultural impossibility.

You know what I mean? It just doesn't exist to me.

That's why, therefore, all kind of, um, anti-immigration propaganda that kind of propagates the idea that, that other cultures are other and therefore not to be trusted, and, uh, is just ridiculous in my humble opinion because it's so clearly that everything that's wonderful about the world is, is to, is about our interaction with-

... and hours and hours.

This is about five hours later.

Anyway, no one speaks any English, so I thought, "Oh, shit, I'm just gonna go and try and get a, hitch a ride." So I go out onto the road, and then finally someone stops.
