Gira, so full of stories as you would expect. Which makes me wonder: how long did this interview last, and is there any left-over footage? That would be fantastic to see. I assume he's not the interviewee type, but hell, I find him a far superior subject that 95% of the music/rock types out there who are just plain vacuous.
Murray Wilson worked for Gira's dad. Wow. Murray lost an eye when some metal flak shot out of a machine in what was presumably the same factory. Gira and The Beach Boys' paths connected in a bizzarre horrible brutal manner. Gira and The Beach Boys' visions of America at opposite ends of the spectrum. Amazing
Is it me or Gira kinda looks like House on this one? Not only physically but the way he speaks also. It is also fun to see how Maynard James Keenan has been influenced by MG, I've noticed certain similarities between the two when they speak or give out interviews, not to metion the cowboy hat :]

oh and if anybody doesn't mind sharing which songs are the second and last songs played, that'd be great.

@youknowyourrite1 : I'll give them by sequence, I think that helps:
The 2nd: " My Birth" off their 2010 album " My Father Will Guide Up A Room To Heaven"
The 3rd: I can't tell exactly
The 4th: "Jim" off their 2010 album " My Father Will Guide Up A Room To Heaven" (during the interview)
The 5th: "No Words/No Thoughts" off their 2010 album " My Father Will Guide Up A Room To Heaven"
The 5th (and final song): "Sex, God, Sex" off their 1987 LP 'Children of God'
hope that helps :)
