Famously frequented by the likes of Albert Einstein and Franz Kafka, Prague's Cafe Louvre was shut down when the city was run by commies.

It’s been a while with all the traveling, but I’ll be back in the studio tomorrow morning on Radio 1 (www.radio1.cz or 91.9 FM in case you forgot), and there’s an awful lot to shoehorn into a three-hour set. As always, it’s 6 to 9 am on Saturday (which translates to either 9pm to...
