  • Summary

  • Though you might hear laughing, spinning, swinging madly across the sun, it is in fact just two old lags reviewing the current events, which this week include …

    … the made-up scene in A Complete Unknown which Dylan apparently insisted was included.

    … the Day of the Locust: do the LA fires spell the end of the Hollywood Dream?

    … why does no-one write songs about world events anymore?

    … the unwelcome return of AJ Weberman.

    … can you date records made between 2000 and 2025?

    … Sam & Dave, Booker T & the MGs, the Stax horns, Isaac Hayes and David Porter and their purple patch from ‘65-‘68.

    … Led Zeppelin’s five song-stealing court cases – but hadn’t what they stole been stolen in the first place?

    … why most biopics would be better as a six-part TV series.

    … “where there’s a hit there’s a writ”.

    … plus birthday guest John Innes and the best and worst bands names – from Roxy Music to Prefab Sprout.
