- What is your opinion of classical music preceding the modern era? Baroque, romanticism, classicism, etc etc

- Are you familiar with the music of Gyorgy Ligeti?

- I think that humour pervades even in your so-called 'serious' compositions. Do you see your orchestral and chamber compositions as a comical approach to classical music? If so, is that because you're generally contemptuous of this musical medium (and, as a consequence of this, try to parody it) or is it a topsy-turvy attempt to pay tribute to the composers you admire? Stravinsky, Webern, Varese etc etc

- Do you think it's possible to evoke the feeling of 'love' (a feeling you have elsewhere regarded as futile) successfully in a pop/rock song?

- You have expressed a hateful attitude towards 'aesthetic' censorship, but do you think that ideological/political censorship is more acceptable?... nazism, fascism.. etc etc

I don't think he'd really like me if I were to ask him these questions...

That wasn't a UFO....it was a fat, floating sofa.
