Yes, saw that last night. I thought, if he's the guy who brought first Brazilian music into the mainstream, then that was a really significant thing.

Katie Derham did a lovely documentary about the whole Brazilian thing a couple of years ago. Worth a watch if you have an idle hour.

The world looks so different after learning science. For example, trees are made of air, primarily. When they are burned, they go back to air, and in their flaming heat is released the flaming heat of the Sun which was bound in to convert air into tree.
