Don't mention the football! Caroline Coon's talk of protest marches reminds Jarvis of a political interpretation of The Wizard of Oz. Footballer Jack Charlton talks technique. Jarvis explains that I Zimbra by Talking Heads is a Dadaist poem by Hugo Ball - he reads another and plays songs in Elvish and Ethiopian. He considers how songs can feel meaningful without us understanding the language. David Attenborough lectures on the subject of singing and the part it plays in courtship. And Jarvis reads from AC Grayling's secular Bible. Birthdays: David Attenborough, Keith Jarrett, Chris Frantz, Mahmoud Ahmed, Mary Lou Williams, Robert Johnson, Tom of Finland, Roberto Rossellini, Sonny Liston, Thomas Pynchon, Saul Bass (a clip from his sci-fi film about ants), John Snagge (describing Westminster Abbey), Gary Snyder (Ian Dury reads his poem Riprap), Ricky Nelson, Michel Gondry (pondering inspiration) and Dave Rowntree.
