“Every morning I awake with such inspiration to continue writing my memoirs. My heart is opening as the moments of Beauty and Love return to me. On this morning I was pondering the time we, most of the band, all went to Lindos, Rhodos, and Greece. David rented a pea green E-type and we set off from London driving across Europe. We stopped to visit his parents first who were having their summer holiday in Ramantuelle, a French village just outside of St. Tropez. I still remember the sounds of the swallows as they flew in between the stone buildings above me. "They never land on the ground," David told me.” — Ginger Gilmour.

“Next stop was New York, New York and it was over the Fourth of July weekend at Madison Square Garden. This would be the first time for the Floyd to perform at MSG and we heard that Columbia Records had staged a publicity stunt to promote the album. Apparently, they paraded live animals up 6th Avenue to Central Park behind a flatbed truck bearing a video camera and loudspeakers blaring the album. A few of Columbia's personnel walked behind with a pig, a sheep, a dog, along with a hundred or more fans. Quite, a stunt. Poor animals, but who are the animals really, I wonder? I am glad I was not there to see it. I might have thrown a fuss.” — Ginger Gilmour.
