This week’s rock and roll gumbo includes the following spicy and nutritious ingredients …

… “the internet is designed to let middle-aged men think they’ve had the last word”.

… will the Royal Blood storm-in-a-teacup do them more good than harm?

… Barry Gibbs’ beard.

… what ‘Three Lions’ did to the Lightning Seeds’ Scottish, Welsh and Irish fanbase.

… old memories of Kevin Coyne and Marjory Razorblade.

… why no band is ever “forgotten”.

… what’s so sacred about Love Will Tear Us Apart?

… can AI music ever work if you don’t feel a connection with the person making it?  

… why are the Doors fading from view?

… there are only two degrees of adulation: too little or too much.

Plus Birthdays guests Ray Roscoe and Paul Thompson.
