Was in a band, and a film, went on the telly and the radio, wrote about music and films for different things, worked in telly, put out some records by other people. Still doing the records bit. They're very good.

It's Bob Dylan's 84th birthday, and for only the fourth time in his life he's playing a gig the same day. I hope the audience rush the stage and give him the bumps.
To celebrate, here are some Dylan covers that aren't the usual Dylan covers.

There's only one working toilet on this train. I've not been in but the people who did have walked back down the carriage looking like they've witnessed an atrocity.

Having already added the twist of having two Popes alive at the same time, the Vatican should take further inspiration from Doctor Who and make the next Popes a woman then a queer black man.

I bought some wire wool in February. Can I find it now? No I can't. If you were me, where would you put some wire wool? No, you're wrong. It's not there. Or there. You'd think it would be, but it's not.

Please, if you love anything about this life, stop using ChatGPT and other GenAI. Just stop. Don't use it to dunk on it, don't use it for a laugh, just stop and let that shit wither.

In the last week or so I've had emails about gigs by Chris Brown, Marilyn Manson, The Bluetones, some shitty Smiths impersonators... All playing live and being celebrated by the music industry.

I've got 60 followers on here, but only two of them ever like my posts. Which means I'm disappointing 58 people on a regular basis. Probably a good job I don't have a Substack; no one should have to pay to be that unimpressed.
