Obsessive fans, Dylan’s reading list and how Taylor Swift tickets are the new codeword for wealth
Description
Applying our patent wheat-chaff separator to recent rock and roll events, we filter out the following …
… “They’ve got the guns but we got the numbers”: whatever happened to political songs?
… the life of Libby Titus and the afterlife of Love Has No Pride.
… when gigs become stalking with a musical component.
… how Taylor Swift Tickets became the new currency.
… the most disappointing album of all time (we know the answer).
… who’s the Zeppo Marx of rock and roll?
… the old music/football analogy revisited.
… when fans think they own a band.
… the New York Rock And Soul Revue that revived Steely Dan.
… has any American star beguiled Britain more than Taylor Swift?
… when Lennon failed to swing the vote.
… does anyone convey loneliness better than Bonnie Raitt?
… our own personal rock and roll fantasies – eg Dr John recycling and Bob Dylan in his Star Wars jim-jams.
… plus birthday guest Phil Turner - Bill Berry, Gene Clarke, Vince Clarke and the irreplaceable magic ingredient of one band member.
