Zappa and Elvis as fathers (!), Billy Joel’s house sale and the curse of too much choice
Description
Our record-breaking partnership faces a fresh set of spin bowlers on the rock and roll pitch but rifles a few shots over the pavilion roof, among them …
… the time Elvis let his daughter ride her pony through the house.
… when Moon Zappa (10) found naked hippies making candles in the garden.
… “Can you get that? It might be someone important.” The Queen when her mobile rang.
… Billy Joel’s daily commute to work by helicopter.
… John Peel, Elton John, Robert Christgau … who’s listened to the most music in the history of the planet?
… “Choice is a tax, a penalty”: the faint sense of nausea you get from Netflix’ fathomless sense of abundance.
… how Elvis became a hillbilly with an unlimited budget.
… are ChatGPT’s music recommendations actually quite useful? We test the Beatles, Joni Mitchell and Miles Davis.
… “what kind of a genius doesn’t have medical insurance?”
… old WW2 movies v the new Netflix series? There’s only one winner …
… plus Abba, Steampacket, Steeleye Span and Humble Pie: supergroups that worked.
