Bob Dylan’s brutal response to Don McLean dubbing him a ‘jester’ on American Pie Don McLean dubbed Bob Dylan a “jester” in his hit song, American Pie, and the Mr. Tambourine Man songwriter did not take kindly to the jab. Dylan is allegedly referred to in American Pi…

He wanted to sell copies of his biography, so he had to make a fairly toxic and sneering song seem relatively palatable

Surprised it's still 59% red, so I'm instantly suspicious

Labour has lost a lot of voters, but amongst the people that I associate with on here, the majority are now supporting Greens

Sultana/JC don't seem to have had a big impact on lefties here, so far, possibly because of First Past The Post

It's well known that it was Dylan and Elvis

He had to pretend, for legal reasons, that it wasn't

The Eagles sue Hotel California They say a hotel in Mexico is tricking fans into believing it inspired their biggest hit.

He's not just inflicting that damage on his own nation, incidentally

This affects the whole world 🌍

Bob Dylan and Elvis Presley

🎵 When the jester sang for the king and queen
In a coat he borrowed from James Dean
And a voice that came from you and me
Oh, and while the king was looking down
The jester stole his thorny crown 🎶

Millionaire trophy hunter killed by ‘Black Death’ buffalo he was trying to take down Other hunters called it an 'unprovoked attack'

FUN FACT: Cape Buffaloes kill more big game hunters than lions, elephants, rhinos, and crocodiles. Well done, Cape Buffaloes!

The only part of The Economist that I have found wearing is the Bagehot column, especially when it was being written by Jeremy Cliffe, but I'm guessing that column wouldn't be in the US version anyway

The only version of "Time" that interests me is the one by Pink Floyd 😁

Depends whether it's venomous 😁

He seems to prefer shouting from the rooftops these days 🤴

Surprised Channel 5 haven't done it already

Can do without visitors like that 🦂

#Snooker has had to endure all that nonsense for decades

There's no doubt in my mind that eSports and snooker are both sports

As Monty python once said "Yes, Michael"

"Now, I can see why no one comes up here! There's nothing up here... it's just a barren wasteland!" - Donald Trump on the roof of the White House this morning.

Berman: Was the President accurate about the polls?

Enten: Not at all. Compared to other presidents at this point in their terms, he's polling the second worst in history—only beaten by his own previous numbers.

My dad used to play this on repeat and it used to drive my mum bonkers

"It's supposed to be children that keep playing the same record over and over again, so you're not setting a very good example, are you?" 😆

Mural of Netanyahu kissing Hitler sparks outrage in Italy The well-known street artist, Laika, defends the provocative image as a critique of Israel’s actions in Gaza and Western hypocrisy regarding the conflict

We need more street art like that

Me and wifey have started receiving calls which are recorded messages saying that they're from Indeed, they want to discuss a job with us and will we add their number as a contact on WhatsApp

Wifey is retired... 🤡

No we frigging well won't add you as a contact on WhatsApp ✌️

I did read it when I was studying O-level and A-level economics

I enjoyed it so much that I've subscribed to it most of my adult life

Mainly because it's not JUST about economics

No, I'm not a CEO...

Anyone can guess why ITV and French channels were able to bypass Isreal and broadcast the footage but the BBC can't?

Here's couple of clues:

* BiBiCorp has an Israeli asset sitting on its board

* a Mossad operative sits on Middle East Desk

BBC is a patsy of the Israel lobby, time and time again The BBC has now quashed two documentaries about Israel's war on Gaza, as well as providing only sporadic, pro-Israel coverage – with little regard for truth.

Might as well have virtual MPs for the amount of use some of them are - especially Nigel Fauxrage 👍

I don't think of CEOs of large corporations as human beings 🤷‍♂️

They say that having a breakfast sets you up for the day

Does anyone else find that it means they eat more, all day long? 🥣

Yes, YouGov was started by Nadhim Zahawi

I unsubscribed from doing their surveys recently

They were sending me what they called a weekly news update and what I would call an extreme-right party political broadcast

Gove has always been as bent as a nine bob note

At a time when support for Scottish independence was at 58%, and after Gove’s secret report into how best to save the union, Op Branchform was instigated.

Branchform achieved its purpose, to derail progress towards independence, by smearing, undermining and causing division within the YES movement.
