The late Peter Tosh did an excellent version of Johnny B Goode, back in the early 1980s –

It’s very strange that someone can get an award for funniest gag with a joke that is years old.
I’d have thought that the criteria should be for an original line, not recycling something that someone else came up […]

Be deliberately controversial if you will, that’s your prerogative.
Few would agree with your assessment.

I can’t disagree with you there, but I have found it difficult to find people at far smaller events.

I’d like to add Van Morrison’s Tupelo Honey, which played over the closing credits of Fonda’s 1997 film Ulee’s Gold

Fonda got a Best Actor Oscar nomination for his role, so it wasn’t insignificant in his oeuvre.

The Who didn’t release Who’s Next until August 1971, so I’d say their best years were yet to come.

We loved it, even though it brought back memories of the Thatcher years and the divisions it engendered in British society.
No review I have read has mentioned Nell Williams, who plays Eliza. She’s a new face to […]

I can recommend for breakfast, if you’re around the south end of Manhattan Pearl Diner
Not an obscure place to visit, but the American Museum of Natural History is well worth your time. The dinosaur exhibition is […]

Julian Cope’s response, to me and my mate Jon, after we’d shouted out for Mik Mak Mok was the less than scintillating “I’m not singing any song that’s going to make me look stupid”.

This isn’t a witticism, but as Steve has mentioned Michael Chapman, I will mention a bit of between song chat of his that amused me.
He said he was in a bookshop in Leeds and he looked across and saw a woman he […]

Thanks for that bit of research Col D.
It makes the purchase much less attractive than it first appears.

I am very torn about buying this.
I was very fond of the If I Could Do It…/Land of… era.
I have the SW remix of Land Of… and Show Of Our Lives on Cd. I still have If I Could… on vinyl.
If I bought this […]

So as a technical question, did Mrs M have to e-mail everyone individually or has she found a method for mass-mailing?
As I suspect it is individual mailings, despite pasting the same message to everyone, I […]

The late Guy Clark had a couple of food songs –

First up is Texas Cookin’

Later on he came up with Homegrown Tomatoes

Did she live up to any expectations I might have laid down for you, @paul-wad?

More guest appearances by Bruce –

He joined Rosanne Cash for her cover of Sea Of Heartbreak on her album The List – it’s gorgeous and here it is –

Years earlier he had joined John Prine on Take A Look At My […]

One of the more obvious ones is Bruce’s Thunder Road, although Bruce has said it wasn’t the film, which he hadn’t seen, but the poster for the film which he saw outside the cinema.

With respect to the OP, there […]

On Soundcloud, far from being excluded from the country chart, there are five versions in the top 50 country songs.

Did I tip someone off?
Given the comment by @lunaman, I decided to take some stuff down to Oxfam and use the opportunity to line up the Ryan Adams discs and snap a picture to post here.
They have all gone. Not […]
