Sauntering in carefree, conversational mode down the rock and roll bridleway this week, pausing briefly to lean against a tree and tootle upon a mouth-organ, we came across the following …

… bands with no original members left - Lynyrd Skynyrd, Motorhead, the Crickets, the Ramones, the Jimi Hendrix Experience, the Drifters … any more?

… things musicians are obsessed with.

… albums by acts we love without a single redeeming feature – Blondie’s The Hunter? Bob Dylan’s Saved? The Dead’s Built To Last? It’s Hard by The Who?

… the night – exactly 20 years ago – we saw the Dixie Chicks make their career-capsizing comment about George Bush.

… the hilarious left-right shift in Russell Brand’s brand values.  

… the main reason some people go to Glastonbury.

… can you love an act as much if you don’t own their records or CDs and just stream them?

… a Northern Soul DJ’s £250,000 box of singles being stolen from his home after a gig.

… and Mr Inbetween, the Australian crime drama that’s like Saxondale meets Reservoir Dogs.
