A 1965 interviewer tells Bob Dylan he prefers caruso as a singer. Dylan replies: "I happen to be as good as him... and can hold my breath three times as long if I have to." He'd proved that last claim five years earlier, at age 19, as the "Window" release shows on his 1960 'East Virginia Blues'.

As I’ve said for years, Gremlins 2 is the perfect sequel because it deconstructs the need for it to even exist and slams the lid on the idea of a franchise to anyone who pays attention. While still being fun as hell!

Good to see the Isleys getting some attention. They've been performing (various combinations of the brothers, but always with Ronald on lead) for more than *seventy years* and are still great.
MOJO’s next How To Buy guide is on The Isley Brothers. Reply to let us know what your favourite albums from Ronald, Rudolph and O’Kelly are and why and we’ll print the best responses in a future issue 👇
