Summary

Another over-heated week put through the conversational air-conditioner, which involves …   … the man who got rich writing words that could never be sung   … Anna Bullock? Stefani Germanotta? People who’d never have made it if they hadn’t changed their names   … and the best stage name ever!   … Marco Pirroni’s jukebox   … when the Rock'n’Roll rulebook declared ‘Thou Shalt Not Dance!’   … how David Dundas made a fortune from just four notes   … Ringo, Dylan, Hank Marvin, Bill Wyman and the magic of cowboy culture   … who lost out on ‘It’s Only Rock’n’Roll’ and ‘Jessica’?   … and the biggest star of the 20th Century and how he got his name   Plus the Bingville Bugle and birthday guest Gianluca Tramontana looks back at when dance music came in for a kicking.
