In bold and vigorous pursuit of entertainment we steer via the following topics …
… Thora Hird with a rifle.
… acts who wrote rejected songs for Bond movies.
… the legend of Van Duren.
… hilariously awful revelations about the private plane use of Taylor Swift, Tom Cruise, Steven Spielberg etc on @CelebJets.
… is pop music now largely about an old thing re-discovered?
… the late Judith Durham of the Seekers and other great ‘stirring’ voices of our time.
… a record we haven’t played for 44 years.
… Beyoncé and her re-written lyric (and can it really need 25 people to write a song?).
… exploding gas cylinders, toppled lighting towers, mass arson and looting, State troopers … the new Netflix three-part doc ‘Trainwreck: Woodstock 99’, the gripping – genuinely shocking – chronicle of one of the lowest points in entertainment history.
… and BJ Cole in an ale shop.
