Weird, isn’t it? Why does Donny think that ordinary Americans want to go back to working low paid jobs at the textile mill or down a mine?

Baker Street by Gerry Rafferty. Absolutely nothing to recommend it.

It’s almost as if the piss tape is the only reasonable explanation.

One of the defining characteristics of being English is a reluctance to define a national character.

Be prepared for a year of cancelled celebrations, British friends.

How many ancestors does a person have since 1500? Answer (1 of 6): To perform a rough calculation, let's assume that you were born in 1980 and that the typical range between generations is 30 years (that's what I have found in my family back to the 1...

Chimes of Freedom: The Songs of Bob Dylan, Honouring 50 Years of Amnesty International Product Description Amnesty International commemorates its 50th anniversary with the release of an album featuring the cream of the world’s music talent covering Bob Dylan songs, with contributions from a huge variety of artists including Adele, Patti Smith, Pete Townshend, Ke$ha, The Gaslight Anthem, Sting, Jackson Browne, Elvis Costello, Sinéad O’Connor, Kris Kristofferson, Bad Religion, Marianne Faithfull, My Chemical Romance, Bryan Ferry, Pete Seeger and many more. Entitled Chimes of Freedom: Songs of Bob Dylan the album features 73 tracks on four CDs. Review Yes, yes, all for a good cause and that, but only the most saintly apologist would deny that some heinous musical crimes have been committed in the name of charity over the years. And while this epic collection of Dylan covers isn't the worst offender, it's still a largely redundant – and frequently downright woeful – endeavour.Released to celebrate 50 years of Amnesty International, it ransacks the Dylan canon presumably in deference to his symbolic status as the finger-pointin' bard of the oppressed. Rather than, say, because of all those bile-dripping songs he wrote in the 60s while off his head on drugs. Or because he's an ornery contrarian who, if you put it to him, would probably deny that he'd ever written a protest song in his life.Either way, it's undeniable that the stirring title-track – Dylan's original recording of which closes this collection – with its odes to "each unharmful, gentle soul misplaced inside a jail" is virtually the Amnesty manifesto in musical form. And if any songbook is rich and vast enough to withstand a whopping 72 covers over four CDs, it's Dylan's.But the sheer volume of material is its biggest problem. Simultaneously overwhelming and underwhelming, it buckles under the weight of its own significance, like a ghastly all-star charity concert which refuses to end.Although there are a few highlights – Bettye LaVette's soulful reading of Most of the Time, and Taj Mahal's Stax-blues rumble through Bob Dylan's 115th Dream – there is absolutely no excuse for the likes of Natasha Bedingfield turning Ring Them Bells into an MOR drive-time anthem, Sting busking Girl From the North Country in the manner of a deranged Sting impersonator, or Lenny Kravitz being let anywhere near Rainy Day Woman # 12 & 35. Still, Mick Hucknall's uncannily accurate Dylan take-off on One of Us Must Know suggests that, if nothing else, he's got it in the bag if they ever revive Celebrity Stars in Their Eyes.Ultimately, if this sprawling folly raises some money for Amnesty and introduces Miley Cyrus fans to Dylan's music, then no harm done. As for the man himself, he probably couldn't care less either way. So he's probably the real winner in all of this. --Paul Whitelaw Find more music at the BBC This link will take you off Amazon in a new window

There is no better covers album than this. amzn.eu/d/4dlgR00 As a Dylan fan I have found so many new artists through it. And I imagine it’s a great way into Dylan if you can’t quite get beyond his voice

A missed opportunity, sadly I didn’t think of it until the chance was gone. We were visiting a scale model of the solar system where the planets were on plinths. There was a man sitting on one. “Excuse me, would you mind standing up, I’d like to take a look at Uranus”

I went to Oxford. It was the usual mix of people, just smarter. Attendance requires the ability to ace interviews and pass exams, so it’s not surprising Oxbridge people are over-represented amongst successful adults. It’s not some conspiracy that needs outing by your weird Labeller scheme.

There’s one thing for sure.

Farage’s political successes have been fully aligned with Putin’s goals.

Trump turns on all of his minions. They all turn on him.

Will be quite a spectacle.
