Don't suppose you saw this in a video?  If not, what was the specific context/reference?  Not to grill you or anything... just curious!

No, it is sadly not on video. He did a series of semi-private conferences that I was lucky enough to attend (quite some time ago). One conference was about love, I guess you could say. He covered male/female differences and how they show love in different ways as well as true vs false loves, such as romanticism. He used some examples from poetry and modern music as well. He sang "Oh babe, oh babe" in his typical mimicking way. Obviously it made the impression he was hoping for because I have not forgotten it! We had studied the lyrics of a couple of songs of The Wall so it all tied together in a general Pink Floyd theme.

Ha!  Not to derail into the Education/Women thread, but... I just have to wonder what the good Bishop makes of the line "We don't need no education!"  --as much as he might not like the rest of the Pink Floyd catalog, I'd bet he'd make a diamond in the rough out of that lyric!

;D I see where you're going with that.

We studied it in context however and in context it is not good. Obviously that conference was about the breakdown of families, of society. The good bishop is not against education itself, just the where, hows and whys of conventional "education".
