On This Day, the Vatican decided that the Pope could never be wrong, Hitler's Mein Kampf was published, Intel Corp was founded and Olympic gymnast Nadia Comăneci scored an unprecedented perfect 10. A record bought in Berlin makes Jarvis think about bad breakfast foods. And to cool us down after the recent hot weather, he reads an Icelandic legend called The Wizards of the Westman Islands. As Jarvis is planning to be at Latitude this weekend, he plays music by some bands playing at the festival. Plus, quirky records featuring a 'French James Brown' and a drug overdose. Birthdays: WG Grace, George Machine Gun Kelly, Nelson Mandela, Burt Kwouk, Hunter S Thompson (ranting an excerpt from Fear and Loathing), Yevgeny Yevtushenko (discussing reincarnation; Anthony Hopkins reads one of his poems), Dion, Henri Salvador, Jean Yanne, Martha Reeves, Lonnie Mack, Screamin' Jay Hawkins, Bobby Susser. Valete: Bobby Fuller and Nico.
