Today's a perfect crisp autumn day, and it's Remembrance Sunday. On This Day in 1215, the first Holy Communion was held. And in 1926, historic road Route 66 was opened for the first time. Jarvis takes us on an audio road trip, complete with Route 66 facts, motoring sound effects and tracks mentioning each of the states it goes through. Don't forget your travel sweets, because he hates stopping at service stations. The Peel J is for Jacob's Mouse. Birthdays: Kurt Vonnegut (who hated cars, called religion folly and had eight rules for writing short fiction), Andy Partridge, Ian Craig Marsh, Vince Martell, LaVern Baker, Fyodor Dostoyevsky (Rowan Williams discusses how Dostoyevsky helps us understand human wildness) and Mose Allison. Roger McGough's was last Thursday (we hear an anti-racism song by him). And Jarvis's mum's is on Tuesday (he plays one of her own favourite crackly records).
