The weather. Tomorrow, expect a... Biting cold front. Mmm, how naughty. I wonder what I'll be wearing or taking off. The night will be wild and untamed. Expect heavy, lashing rain that'll soak you to the skin. By Monday, temperatures will rise, slowly but surely, reaching their peak in the afternoon.

Not in the mood for miserable weather?

Fly cheaply to Turkey with Sun Express.

Sun Express, nonstop sunshine.

All right, hi, this is William Ramsey.

Welcome to William Ramsey Investigates on Tonight Show, a very special guest.

He comes to us from the UK.

His name is John Higgs, and he's just published an excellent book which I finished this morning. The title of the book is William Blake First the World, published May 2021. And this is not the author's

first book. He also wrote back in 2006 published, I have America Surrounded, a biography of Timothy

Leary, which I consider it would be the best biography of Timothy Leary.

I've read that and quoted that.

He's also written the KLF, Chaos Magic, Music, Money, published 2012.

Stranger Than We Can Imagine Making Sense of the 20th Century, published 2015,

Watling Street travels through Britain and its ever-present past.

individual so we're going to talk about that so john higgs are you there yeah hi william good to
