Our weekly stroll through the sunlit uplands of rock and roll visits the following topics …

… Bob Dylan’s worst lyrics

… musicians in movies, actors who made albums (Judi Dench?) and the slight return of the Stackwaddy game

… why Hole in The Ground is the greatest comedy record ever made, plus the staggering versatility of Bernard Cribbins

… the contents of the basket at the beginning of Two-Way Stretch

… the incomparable comic genius of Clive James

… the achingly self-conscious Barack Obama summer reading and playlist. Kendrick Lamar? Bad Bunny & Bomba Estéreo? You sure?

… the night at the Railway Tavern in 1964 that Pete Townshend accidently invented “auto-destruction”

… and live consumption of fruity summer ale from the Ink Spot micropub in Newbiggin by the Sea (thanks to Simon and Ange).
