I can't take Chris Mason seriously; not just because he's a very poor journalist, but because he always looks like he's just been beaten up by the kids at school.

Surprisingly, one of these hirsute rockers went on to become a US Congressman (the tall bloke in the middle to be precise).

Said that exact same thing as we watched 'Lover Come Back' a couple of days ago. Totally beautiful human being (and Doris wasn't half bad either).

The problem is always Tel and Odebert, they are like boys in men's football. Also, what is a double pivot?

Brilliant, brilliant musician. And, quite oddly, related to the Royal Family (by marriage) which I can't get my head around.

"Democracy gets beaten to death in the dark" is such a perfect phrase. It describes exactly what is happening to us.

As I'm sure everyone knows, the 16th Sept 1400 is the day that Owain Glyndwr declared himself 'Prince of Wales'. We visited the memorial to his daughter, Catrin, which is in St Swithin London Stone Church Garden just off Cannon Street. (BTW we are not Welsh, just seemed like a fun thing to do).

Not to mention (I'm Not Your ) Steppin' Stone, covered by Paul Revere, The Monkees, and the Sex Pistols (as well as The Paranoids, but that's another story).

I loved that place. I used to take the bus from Barnet to go there and stare at the guitars. Very happy memories.

It only took 3 days to read the latest Poe and Tilly. I think it's MW Craven's best yet. Terrific read. Loved it.

It's 50 years since the Born To Run LP was released. The album cover on the right was taken off the wall display at the Hammersmith concert in 1975, the one on the left is our original copy. Just played it and it still sounds fresh and new.
