Billy Joel. Sunny Sunday afternoon, huge field of people roaring “Uptown Girl” and “We Didn’t Start the Fire”. Perfect.

In the Ghetto

Elvis:

Candi:

The King has been dethroned.

Honourable mention to Eric Cartman:

Neither had I until I read that interview, now I can’t unhear it. Sorry…

I recall an interview with the band shortly after this was released where they moaned that a musicologist had been in touch because their single sounded like Material Girl. Madonna’s skint writers must have been […]

There’s a laptop table called ‘Dave’ 🙂

When my youngest niece was 6 her class was doing a project about the 1960s. While visiting I told her some basic facts about the Beatles and threw in a flippant comment about George being “the moody one”. Guess […]

I play this and everything’s going to be fine.

I wasted a very happy hour creating handwashing posters with this a couple of nights ago – https://washyourlyrics.com/

Thunder Road works well!

OK Computer anyone?

True story: at the bottom of our back garden is an old garage that doubles as our shed. When we moved in a few years ago we spent a couple of nights clearing it out as the previous owner had left it full of the […]

This got me through a very difficult time some years ago:

James Brown did some interesting noodle ads in Japan:

Loads but two that spring to mind. If I never hear Maxwell’s Silver Hammer again it’ll be too soon. And Hey Now! on What’s the Story… is a horrendous dirge, especially when you look at the material Oasis were […]

Yes! Yes yes yes!

Depeche Mode are the band with most Top 40 hits yet never a Number 1. I think this is the most interesting thing about them.
