I hadn’t realised that The Boss took a tumble onstage in Amsterdam this week. Images available on the net. Fortunately he and his guitar were unhurt and he laughed it off.

Of more amusement to me was the Mail’s description of the event, referring to “the I’m On Fire hitmaker”. Surely somebody there reads this blog and is on the joke?

I think a number of you on here may enjoy S.G. Goodman. She channels both Patti Smith and Lucinda Williams in her mix of fiery rockers and reflective ballads. I only recently discovered her from a recent SXSW stream. Her second album, Teeth Marks, came out last Friday.

Attached is an example of her rockier side

There was some love shown for Cassandra Jenkins on these pages earlier in the year, particularly the track Hard Drive. A mix of poetry, jazz and god knows what else.

I see she is now playing some dates in November across the U.K. and selected parts of Europe. Will be interesting to see how her sound transfers to the live setting

Just read that Lucinda Williams had a stroke in November. On her road to recovery but sounds like it could have been much worse if her husband had not been around.

Yesterday BBC’s Pointless offered this question (for its 4K jackpot no less) – Name anyone who has been a member of Fairport Convention!

For those who don’t know Pointless, the aim is to identify an answer that escaped a Group of 100 “normal” members of the Public.

My initial thought was that every member of the Group might have escaped the Public’s attention. However there were Public points for Swarbrick, Mattacks and Thompson (him again!). I was left smiling with my nap hand of Trevor Lucas, Jerry Donahue and Dan Ar Bras.

I think we may have touched on this before, but anybody seen any surprising quiz questions out in the real world?
